I loved this page – some are truly poetic… It reminded me of when I was a TEFL teacher and asked a Spanish boy if he had any pets:
SB: “I don’t have any pets now, but when I get home my parents will get me a dog.”
me: “What sort of dog will it be?”
(We had been talking about different breeds of dog. Spanish boy surreptitiously leafs through illegal dictionary concealed on his lap, and confidently announces to the class:)
SB: “My dog will be a little bastard!”
