Hellos 6A (:
Here to contribute to our post count , hahas :D .
What's coming up would be a long long long post :x .

Singapore is a small country lahs Kelly, want find place to go sibei hard lohs.
Its like, either too expensive or too mafan -.-

Just here to share something from yesterday's English lesson(:
Sibei fun lohs, we were like, playing English vs Singlish .
Those in Class 1r3 of FuHua may know :D .
Anyways, here goes.
There will be a scenario and two boys were asked to come up to the front to roleplay .
They would be roleplaying about the responses of a Singaporean and a British man .
You're supposed to see the differences and all, y'know.
PS. I twitched some of the words here and there, cannot remember the exact sentence, y'know .

So, Scenario 1; You are a salesman. A customer is looking for this particular clothing she saw in the magazine however, it is out of stock.
A British man would say, "I'm sorry but that piece of clothing is out of stock. However, I can check for you with the other outlets, will you please hold on for a second?"
Whereas a Singaporean would say, "No stock lah!"

Scenario 2; You are on a crowded bus and are about to alight. A man was in your way.
A British man would say, "Excuse me but will you please make way ?"
However, a Singaporean would say, "Oi, siam lah!"

Scenario 3; You are in restaurant. You notice a lady staring at you for quite some time.
A British man would say, "I'm sorry but I've notice that you've been staring at me for quite some time. Do I know you?"
And a Singaporean would say, "看什么看? Qian bian ah?"

Scenario 4; You are in a library. There are a group of people making noise.
A British man would say, "I'm sorry but will you please lower your volume?"
A Singaporean would say, "Oi, diam lah!"


That's about it, I cant remember the rest, there were too many :/
Today's English lesson was about like, mistakes that were made in students' essays.
So well, my teacher told us there was this time where this guy was writing about his dream girl.
So he said her looks, blahblahblah and then, the 2 of them went to a party together.
Everything was well until he wrote one sentence - "Jane was wearing a white dress and she walked through the room."
It was at that moment when my class burst into peals of laughter LOL.
White dress some more , LMFAOs.
He meant to write "walked across the room" .

There was another about writing on foreigners coming to stay in your house, homestay visit or something.
And that student wrote, "They flew off yesterday".
Wthell ? Where did they fly off to ?
To Heaven or something ? o-o

And there was another that was on a one word topic - Friends.
My teacher was marking until she came across a student's essay and he/she began off with - "Friends are always there but are they real?"
LOL. Obviously they are real!
What else could they be? Spirits or something?
He/She meant to write "Are they true?" LOL.

Another funny thing that happened today was that.
THE CHAIR BROKE WHEN OREO SAT ON IT .
We were like, controlling ourselves not to laugh !
Great great effort was required y'know :x .
But we still got scolded for like, giving the teacher such a lousy chair .
Hahas, maybe cause she's too heavy :D .

So, that's all.
Hope you didnt fall asleep while reading this :D .
baibai (:

`CHERYL ツ
