Hello everyone,
Here are some great questions from former and current students.
1. Observations about my physical attributes (vaguely insulting)
- Tim, why do you have such a big nose?
- Do all Australians have such bad skin?
- Gosh, what's that smell? Is that you, Tim?
2. Personal questions about my sexuality / relationships
- Are you gay? ... No? ... well you look gay.
- Is your wife happy? You sure?
3. Other personal questions
- Where do you live? ... No .. I mean what's your address?
- What's your phone number?
- What visa do you hold? Why? When does it expire?
4. Questions about English
- Ok, so you have explained the etymology of the word. I understand. But why?
- Right, so Tim, I don't want you to look up the answer to this question. I want you to rely on your native intuition. What is the difference between "ubiquitous" and "pervasive"?
Can you be the next student to ask me a curly question?
Book me.
Tim.
