 |
|
In the Hi-Tech district in Xi'an where I work, we have to do a "daily english" lesson for about 600 students during their morning exercises. We've been teaching them things like "just kidding," "cheque please," "ripoff" and other useful/ess phrases. I'll probably end the year with a "kiss my ass" or similar anectote. When I do, I'll make sure and post the video clip on here.
Anyone else have a gig that requires a similar 'act' that wastes 15 minutes of your day?
If so, post some of the things you've taught. |

| I could think of one and most would probably agree. These pointless weekly activities know as English Corner. I don't want to be there, the other teachers don't want to be there and the students don't want to be there. |

Ah yes, "English Cornered". Highlight of the week.
That and "guest" [read indentured labor] lectures and teaching methodology to Chinese English teachers. 
Actually, English and morning "exercise" would go well together. Wholehearted, purposeful..........yi er san si, one two three four.
What a buzz. |
