Being English teacher dealing with many people in my circle who normally would never have come to know, either by age (children or much more older than me) or his "social circle ". And I got to know much more than you might think, just talking in class of every conceivable topic, from what each one likes, to the view of the world, making the weekends ...
I sometimes surprises me with people I know, like when I taught a BMW bigwig, this man would measure no more than five feet five, had a voice that seemed to perpetually hoarse, PP voter ... and a nice guy, intelligent, with a great sense of humor, sensitive ... was a real pleasure to class. I still can not explain what they voted for the PP, which has a bias.
O Maite, a fifty-something student whose birth told here ; Hear was delighted with his simple wisdom. Or I had a wonderful group of six teenage girls in their fourteen, fifteen years, which more than nice: all ready, thank you / damn and very, very good people. It was very interesting to share their stories and remember what it was that age.
I have not always positive experiences, though fortunately most. I remember a couple of years a student, as he only clumsy grammar and who was not able to pronounce in a fairly intelligible. Well this guy was delighted to come to class with a strange little word he had taken from a newspaper or book, and me trying to shoehorn brew at any occasion. If I do not know the word, as in some occasions he lit his face with joy, would not surprise me when I get home will use the memory of his "victory" as inspiration for their perverted practices onanĂsticas.
Dealing with so many people gives me a view of the wide range of human fauna out there, and there are quite peculiar specimens, at least. This year I have to Marcel, a student of my age or maybe a few years younger, majete, but with a personality somewhat "childish" and whose fantastic plan every last Saturday tooodos is to go with his girlfriend to the mall to buy something for himself. While not need anything. Going to look and see what you can buy, and always get something. Every Saturday year-enriching hobby. "Do not get bored of doing the same thing every weekend? Do not be satisfied with buying things? I have to ask if occasionally cleans to get rid of clutter, because otherwise, my god how will the house.
Besides shopping, or as another example, suppose you freak-a Marcel watches. Has five, I imagine that expensive, stored in a special box for watches. When we speak of a certain type of books we liked to read, he said, "Well, I do not read books, but I read magazines. Watch " Aha ... fascinating. I is the subject of watches not just picked, I admit.
The fact is that the other day I could not resist, and to poke a bit different, and English class because any excuse to talk to students, "he said " Hey, imagine you could take a pill that you take off your passion for clocks, would you drink? Because imagine the money you'd be saving! And you could have all this pasta for travel, for example, right? "" Ya very safe, "he said, is that but I like material things."
I do not know if I would notice in the face what I thought about it, tried not to move or gesture an inch and keep looking at him like that, an invitation to continue talking. He continued: " Because you're traveling and then come back and you have nothing. But I have my watch on my box, and when I open it and look at them, and there are always. " Aha ...
