Speaking tests

This week my students had speaking tests. Instead of normal classes they would each come talk to me in my office for up to one minute. I would then ask them a question and give them a score.

Most of my students did very well and told me some interesting stories. However, some students didn't go so well. Here are some of the funny things that I was told this week:

Other English teacher: Who is your favourite family member?
Student: I play the piano.

10:45am
Me: Hi. Ok, please begin.
Student: ...blank stare...
Me: You can start now.
Student:...blank stare...
Me: Did you prepare a talk?
Student: ...blank stare...
Me: 시작 ("Start" in Korean) 
Student: ...blank stare... 
Me: Ok, thank you.
Student: ...blank stare...
Me: Ok, you can go now
Student: ...blank stare...
Me: Ok, time to go (get up and gesture to the door)
Student: (Finally leaves) 10:48am

Student: My mum makes lots of food. Her food is delicious not like her.

Student: My dad is fat and I don't like that.

Student: My friend is very pretty and cute.
I am very intermate with my friend.
I want to be intermate with my friend forever.

Student: Hello Mr Parry. My name is Dum Bit Cher

Student: I was in a story telling contest.
I wait in the line but na ture kell.
The line was very long and I got nervous.
I stood in line a long time but na ture kell.
It was finally my time to story tell.
I got on stage but nature called and I urinated all over the stage.
It was very embarass but I am proud of my acomplishment.
