maiyademama Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 This is one that my college students used to say: "On the weekend I to play with my girlfriend/boyfriend/friend(s)." I would joke with them and tell them that in America when adults say "play" it usually happens in the bedroom. I wish i kept all the essays they wrote because a lot of them were pure comedy! So many would plagiarize, though, and that really bothered me. I once got an essay from a student who was supposed to be writing about a foreign country. He handed in the paper and I returned it immediately with a big red F. He started to cry and ask why I didn't like it. I told him that I didn't understand GERMAN any more than he did. Apparently he just googled the name of his assigned country and copy and pasted the first article that came up. Link to comment

maiyademama Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 Oh yeah, and the other one that i would frequently encounter was: "I love my boy/girl friend, however s/he can be very naughty at times." Again, i would tell them it was too much information, but that in America a naughty boyfriend or girlfriend was a very "lucky" thing to find. Link to comment

sawadee Posted July 28, 2004 Report Share Posted July 28, 2004 I always say: 'open the TV' ,actually I mean 'turn on the TV', just keeping saying it in the wrong way, glad that my LG does not really 'open the TV' for me cause I can't close it. The main reason for that is in Mandarine, 'turn on' and 'open' are the same character. we use 'kai' for opening a door as well as for turning on the light and TV. Link to comment
