In my case,ASK the darnest things. ive had a very unproductive week as my term comes to an end. but i also had the weirdest week. every week is weird anyway. but this week is certainly,the numero uno.
Here,i list some of the most frequent questions asked by my students:
1. Teacher,how old are you?
I'd usually shrug. but keep them guessing.. hehe.. so i'll ask them back "how old do i look?". some nice ones will say 22,24 and even 21. how sweet. the evil ones would just jump to "31?". the worst was "50". i know theyre joking anyway.. some smarter ones will say "youre 19/20.. because i saw you last year in your spectacles". LOL.
2. Teacher,do you have a boyfriend?
I get this. FREQUENTLY. almost everytime after the age question. i'd blush. but i really am clueless on how to answer. sometimes they'll pair me up with other single teachers in school. even if i deny them,they'll tease. so in the end i'd just say yes. then they'll be satisfied. aaahhh,those kids.
3. Teacher,what do you teach?
This one lagila i taktau how to answer. ive taught so many subjects i dont know how to make them sound realistic. im sure no one will believe. its cz i dont have a fixed subject. most of the time i teach English. but since moving to the afternoon session,ive already taught Geography,Maths,Science,Civics,BM,Islam,Kemahiran Hidup. amazing,i havent taught History yet... hmm...
4. Teacher,are you married?
I'd love to say yes. so i do. and i'll add in a baby in my fabricated story. then.i'd realise i'd make a mistake. being curious beings,they'll bombard me with demanding questions. ive had one period of lesson lost due to the amounting pressure of having to answer the question related to this lie.
5. Teacher,do you have a Facebook account?
I'll just say no. but,they'd find me anyway. Facebook is really bad for us. i literally mean and experienced the effects. stay away from this overrated social networking site.
6. Teacher,which one of your parents is Chinese?
REALLY! i get this A LOT. i dont know how they got this. do i look Chinese or something? not that theres anything bad about it. but seriously,do i?? some would say yes (for God knows why) some would say no (from my Chinese-English slang?). but its sweet anyways they think im THAT exotic. lol.
7. Teacher,why are your eyes so big?
This one i kena give up la.. i seriously am gobsmacked whenever these children ask me this question. like really... how the hell should i know why my eyes are big? if it is.. alhamdulillah,im happy to have a pair of them... to answer your question,is my question too.
Anyway,those are some questions i can think about now. Ta all you losers.
