Jodi Picoult Quotes
The Thai People Are Pathologically Shy. Combine That With A Reluctance To Lose Face By Giving A Wrong Answer, And It Makes For A Painfully Long [ESL] Class. Usually I Ask The Students To Work On Exercises In Small Groups, And Then I Move Around And Check Their Progress. But For Days Like Today, When I'm Grading On Participation, Speaking Up In Public Is A Necessary Evil. "Jao," I Say To A Man In My Class. "You Own A Pet Store, And You Want To Convince Jaidee To Buy A Pet." I Turn To A Second Man. "Jaidee, You Do Not Want To Buy That Pet. Let's Hear Your Conversation."
They Stand Up, Clutching Their Papers. "This Dog Is Reccommended," Jao Begins.
"I Have One Already," Jaidee Replies.
"Good Job!" I Encourage. "Jao, Give Him A Reason Why He Should Buy Your Dog."
"This Dog Is Alive," Jao Adds.
Jaidee Shrugs. "Not Everyone Wants A Pet That Is Alive."
Well, Not All Days Are Successes ...
