More classroom bites

So I am practising the use of expressions for arranging and scheduling, when I ask this woman I teach on tuesday evenings what she’s doing tonight (we’re doing a mock diary for the week).

Me: So Yachiyo what are you doing tonight?
Yachiyo: Fighting… always fighting. I’m always fighting with my husband.
*cue smile*
*cue me thinking ‘okaaaay what do I do now?’ :???: *

Nice…

Today I was doing what was a pretty good lesson with some of my kids, who are 11/12 years old, and we’re asking each other ‘Do you want…?’ in response to things like ‘I’m thirsty’, ‘I’m hungry’ etc…

Me: I’m ill…
Kid: Do you want supplements?
Me: :lol:

Me: I’m tired…
Kid: Do you want a knife?
Me: :shock: :lol:

Me: I’m sad…
Kid: Do you want a hug?
Me: :lol:

    I always have problems with “My mother is a nurse and my father he is dead”. Only got that one in Spain and Japan, for some reason.
