Faint

I got a shock when I saw this proverb on the white board.

Credits to Form 2M.

An apple a day,
Keeps the doctor away.
But if the doctor is too handsome,
Then keep the apple away.

Wadda!!

***********************************************************************************

My EST teacher, Ms Sim told us her unforgettable experience when she was the examiner in a remote area. None can't resist the humour of the joke.

In the past, students are assessed by examiner for the English oral test. It was her first year being an examiner of the test for SPM. At first, she was so excited. "Finally I can be an examiner!!". That was what she thought , "at first"...

So, she was sent to one of the FELDA areas where students are not very exposed to education. Still, she did not expect anything as much as what had happened after that.

Situation 1
One of the students walked into the room. He smiled to Ms Sim. Ms Sim smiled back to him.
Ms Sim: Open the book.
He:Yes *smiled back but did not open the book*
Ms Sim: *confused*(Am I that pretty that he has to glare at me?) Open the book.
He: No.
Ms Sim: (turned to her partner with a shocked look)*whisper* He doesn't understand what is "open the book"?
The partner: Trust me. The next word he will say will be "alright".
Ms Sim: No way!! *disbelieve*
Ms Sim: (turned to the boy back) Open the boookkk!! (showing the way to open the book with gestures)
He: Alright! (continue smiling)
Ms Sim: *faint*

Situation 2
Ms Sim: Okay.. Read the text.
Student: !@#$%^&*()_!@#$%^&*(!@#$%^&U*(O)
Ms Sim: *STUNT* (What is he reading?!?!!)
Student: *continue reading*
Ms Sim: *looking at the text, trying to see what was he reading*
Finally, the student ended with something that Ms Sim could understand.
Student: You're welcome.

Wait, wait,..... The student pronounced it as,.... "YO RAE WEL KO MAE"

Oh no...

Situation 3
Ms Sim: How many students are there in the picture.
The student looked at the text, up to down and to left and to right..
Ms Sim: (What was he doing?)
Student: SULIT! (The only BM word on the paper)

Reason: The student was searching for a word that he could understand. In fact, he didn't understand what was Ms Sim asking at all.

Situation 4
Ms Sim: Why don't you learn English and try to improve your English language?
Girl A: I don't need to speak in English to my husband.
(Wad da!!)
Boy A: I am going to be a fisherman.I don't need to speak in English to the fishes.The fishes won't even understand what am I talking to them.
(TRUE TRUE)
