So I just thought I would inform everyone about what my students had to say about this World Wise exchanging of letters thing:
Male student: "Teacher, I want a girl, a (said in English) love"
Female student: "Teacher, the boys in America are very good looking, I want a boy"
Female student: "Teacher, I'm going to ask them to send me a passport so I can go to America"
Male student: "I will write (said in English) 'I am hungry.' Cabo Verdianos are hungry"
Male student: "Can we exchange phone numbers too with our (said in English) love"
Male student, said in English to mimic what he would write: "I live in house that is barraca" (The slum-ish section of town, apparently this is a joke)
Male student, also in English: "I like cook catchupa"
Me to male student: "American children don't know what barraca or catchupa means. You have to explain it"
Male student: "I'll ask for money then they can know what a baracca is"
Me: "You have to write in English, and no asking for money!"
Whole class: Uproarious protestations
Yup. I can't wait.
