Yesterday in class I was discussing with the students about their first assignment. I also reminded them to come and see me at the office and show the progress of their work.
-I want you to show me a sample of your brochures by this week. You can show me the soft copy OR print it out in black and white first for me to see. After that you can print it out in colour using glossy paper.
Then I decided to rephrase everything I said ke nada yang lebih berbudi bahasa.
-I mean, I would like to see a soft OR hard copy of your brochure sample first before you print it out in colour using glossy paper.
Most of the students nodded. The one of them raised his hand.
Dalam hati saya berkata, aku dah agak dah. Mesti ada yang tak paham makna glossy ni. Atapun tak ingat apa option yang aku bagi tadi. Itu la masa aku bercakap kau sibuk nak bercakap jugak dengan kawan kau.
-Oui, monsieur, do have a question to ask?
-Yes madame. So...want or would like?

LOL. That was the perfect ending to my class. :D

ReplyDeleteAuntie, besar bezanya "WANT" and "WOULD LIKE" to..:) You would need to choose your words carefully as looking as this student reactions, he's wise when it comes to the word-game:P **read: WANT - kena hantar & WOULD WANT - nak hantar, boleh - tak hantar pun takper!**
