lesson: Kids say the darnest things
Teacher: Donatella Benoir (USA)
Students: Minas, Andreas Franz,
Rose, Megi00 (Europa, Asia, South America)
We were in Millie’s house. Millie
wasn’t there though. This lesson was led by Donatella. When we entered the
house, we heard some water running. We decided to check what’s going on and
went around the house. We found a bathroom with some taps on and the whole
basin was full of water. We switched off the water and went downstairs to have
a cup of coffee. I think people should be more careful and shouldn’t be leaving
water or lights on all the time. It would save a lot of energy.
Few more people turned up and we
started talking about a garden. Do you have a garden? And how big is your
garden? What would you grow in your garden? I’d have just a grass, because I
don’t have green fingers UK (green thumb
USA) - To have green fingers or a green thumb means that you are good in
gardening. Almost everything I try to grow dies. Donatela has a gardener. She is a one lucky girl. But apparently
her garden gets swampy in spring. That means that her garden gets very vet
with soft soil.
Donatela was talking about a bug
that comes out every 17teen years. It’s called cicada or locust and I think it
is a very ugly bug. It is heading her way this year.
Here is a link if you would like
to know more.
I don’t know how but we managed
to get into the conversation about praying mantis. It’s another sort of insect.
The interesting thing is that a female eats the male after mating. Here is a
link to see how praying mantis looks like.
[07:37] Andreas Franz: not funny
for the male :P
And as Andreas added could be fun
for the female but not too much fun for the male….
The last but not least thing we
talked about were children.
Kids say the
darnest things – means the most daring and craziest things.
Here is an example.
Mina’s little nephew was looking
for his ball and asked his pregnant aunt:’ Did u hide my ball under your skirt?’
‘No, I didn’t, I am pregnant.
There is a little baby inside my tummy.’ She answered laughing.
This lesson targeted informal
conversation. In EC you don’t learn just English but many other things as well.
