Their Names Are Loco
(I teach English as a second language to international students.)
Me: “Good afternoon, class. Welcome to Level Five Conversation. Let’s start by going around and introducing ourselves.”
Student #1: “I’m from Japan, and my name is Shoko.”
Student #2: “I’m also from Japan, and my name is Hiroko.”
Student #3: “I’m from Japan, too! My name is Kyoko.”
Student #4: “I’m from Mexico, and my name is Socorro. But no one ever calls me that – you can call me Coco.”
(I probably still could have managed okay, but Shoko and Hiroko were best friends and always sat together, so I never did learn to tell them apart…)
Question of the Week
Have you ever served a bad customer who got what they deserved?
