My class of 2005

After 4 years of studying, here are some of the facts about English majors that I could think of.

1. English majors hate maths. This include all kinds of calculation even easy one like 7+5
2. 97 % of English majors are bad at drawing. The other 3 % are Nui, Kratae and Tan, the only 3 persons in our major whose drawing are so good that they should have taken a fine art course.
3. English majors will never have a common room where it is actually ‘common’ to sit and read there.
4. Some of the English majors don’t know my name and I don’t know many of theirs.
5. English majors whose proficiency are extremely perfect are normally those who have never spent a year in abroad, but not all, of course.
6. English majors are normally the one who are being suffered from the EG Quota system and will always will
7. 99% of English majors hate EG211 Significant Features of English. The only person who said she likes it was Mint, if I remember correctly.
8. 95% is women, 1 % is male , the rest is unidentify (!?!)

Funny paragraph

Today in my translation class, my teacher gave us a lesson about how to translate a non standard English. At first it was boring. Nothing new and exciting. But then she gave us a short paragraph to read which turned out to be really funny. I know that she probably got it from the internet, still, i feel like want to share in my blog. Here it is.

A precious little girl walks into a petshop and – with the sweetest little lisp between two missing teeth – asks ‘Excuthe me, mithter, do you keep widdle wabbits?’

As the shopkeeper’s heart melts, he gets down on his knees so that he’s on her level and asks, ‘Do you want a widdle white wabbit or a thoft and fuwwy bwack wabbit, or maybe one like that cute widdle bwown wabbit over there?

She, in turn, blushes, rocks on her heels, puts her hands on her knees, leans forward and says, in a tiny quiet voice, ‘ I don’t think my python weally gives a thit.’

Hope you enjoy this! ; )
