During an EL class, each student had to read one paragraph from a passage. When it came to Student A, he was ‘lost’. The teacher wanted him to seek help from his classmate, so she said,” Ask your classmate ‘where are we?’ ”
Student A turned to Student B and asked innocently,” Where are we?”
B looked at him and answered,” We are here!”
Well, they were not wrong, if you take their words literally!

During Contact Time, the students were quizzed on Beethoven’s composition, whether Moonlight Sonata or Moonlight Toyota was the right answer. While walking back to the classroom after Contact Time, some students were laughing at the answer Moonlight Toyota. Then, Delmer told his classmates seriously that answer was definitely wrong because Moonlight Toyota was a Car from the Moon!

In class, the students were correcting their maths questions…

Question: A school bus is allowed to carry only 40 pupils. How many buses are needed to take all 220 pupils to the zoo? The correct answer was 6 buses.
Ms Ng told the students that the answer 5 buses was wrong, because the remaining 20 pupils would not have any transport to get to the zoo.

One of the student, raised his hand and said, “Ms Ng, you are wrong. You see, the question said that the bus is allowed to carry ONLY 40 pupils. Not any other number BUT 40!”
Ms Ng was stumped but tried to reason with him, “Then what would happen to the remaining 20 if you cannot hire a bus for them?”
The student said, “Too bad, they have to walk to the zoo. If not, the School has to hire taxis to take them.”
Ha…ha…

A fellow YFA intern Yuyuan wears contacts everyday, but she made an exception one day and wore glasses instead. Seeing this, a student approached her.

Student: Why are you wearing glasses today?
Yuyuan: Because I’m shortsighted.
Student: But you don’t usually wear glasses! You mean you’re shortsighted today?
Yuyuan: O_o No, I’m shortsighted everyday…

On a side note, another fellow intern Cherlene also had a “glasses” encounter. A student asked her, “Why you wear specs? Your eyes spoil is it?”
