hello all, this blog post's title is courtesy of Ying Ying (who deosn't even read my blog despite being invited i am giving her the mental evil eye now)
Anyway, today english was totally and absolutely crazy but in a good fun way
before i say what actually happened i have to tell you about my wonderful adn eccentric english teacher.
she's probably one of my favorite teachers, because she's so easy going, flamboyant, extroverted and fun.
when she talks its usually with a great deal of hand waving and sound effects and rhetorical questions interjected.
last year she used to have the habit of whacking the table with a plastic ruler (she stopped when one day the ruler broke) because she got so revved up by speaking to us about whatever she was speaking to us about.
anyway, today we were discussing a comprehension passage about fashion through the ages and Mrs Cheng was talking about fashion in the hippie/beatle age and then she started talking about the beatles and she gave us this strange pop quiz about the Beatles, asking us their names, who was still alive, and waht songs by them we knew.
Then she told us her favorite song was yesterday (which until today i never knew was by them!) and
she started singing it in class in her loud and flamboyant way
now hello this is singapore.
none of my teachers have ever done that! even the one who had an actual music CD on sale in gramophone!
i was so surprised and impressed at her spontaneity and bravery and ease.
And later when she was talking about Charleston dancing she actually demonstrated for us (seated at her table ) with hand actions!
this was a completely random post but i just think more teachers should be fun and carefree like Mrs Cheng.
