Student Writings

As I mentioned in my last post, one of my assignments for my students was to create a story based around a picture from my winter vacation to Thailand. Below is another picture and the accompanying story. This was the only picture I had that represented my time of grad classes in Thailand, but my students took it in a quite way.

Nmonds, make you full of energy. I like it! But more exciting, there were two beauties beside me. Do you want to know them? They are my friends, haha. We played an interesting game and I won the award. On the picture, I was showered by the holy light, just like Statue of Liberty. We are the delicious food together and played some games. However, I felt something wrong, my body was being invisible. My friends were scared and brought me to the hospital. However, the doctor said the food was right and the problem was myself.

They made an advertisement for the snack. Mr. Sweeting said you would become handsome like me if you eat it. But Sydney said he was lying. This kind of food is for girls. The other girl said I would try it, and i think after I drink, I will find a foreign boyfriend. Then the girl eat it and she was beautiful, and then someone would fall in love with her. After finishing this advertisement, Sweeting went home and said goodbye to the lovely girls. Sweeting was very happy, and he waited for a call from the girls. But until now, he received nothing. However, he is still very happy because he realized he is now with his students again!

Do you watch English movies?
Yes. for few years, I like to watch English movies. In vacation, I watch the movie of “the scissors Edwards” it’s great.

When foreigners speak to other foreigners, how much are you able to understand?
To be honest, I have no exactly idea
I feel they are talking “blah blah blah…” some of it


Another one of the assignments for my writing class was for my students to create a story based around a picture from one of my past vacations to Thailand. Below is one example of a picture and the accompanying story.

Mr. Sweeting was playing with an elephant. We guess that the elephant is female. The elephant must love Mr. Sweeting. The boy was playing with them, too. The elephant though: Oh, my gosh! He’s my man. How he is alike my forth husband ~ oh, don't go, boy!!! Mr. Sweeting felt very excited. Then the elephant rolled him up. Sweeting had a question to ask “why doesn’t the elephant have tusks?” The elephant said, “I pulled out a tooth to give to Mr. Sweeting as a gift.”
“No, I am a human, you are an animal. I can’t date you. You’re lovely, but…I’m so sorry” said Sweeting.

“wo, wo, wo” a cry from the elephant.
