TODAY'S ENGLISH CONVERSATION
NORA: Sir, I suggest you EXPANTIATE on what you just said for the benefits of all.
LECTURER: Alright Miss Nora, I will try to EXPATIATE (not EXPANTIATE) on the points I made.
NORA: Ok sir, please, also remember that some of us did not attend very good primary schools so we are LACKING BEHIND.
LECTURER: π€£ π€£ π€£, alright Miss Nora, I will do my best to ensure that no one is LAGGING (not LACKING BEHIND)
NORA: We hope that in no time, we shall all SCALE THROUGH with you as our lecturer.
LECTURER: Yeah, it is also my prayer for you all to SAIL THROUGH or SCALE THE HURDLE (not SCALE THROUGH).
NORA: Amen sir. Your prayers remind me a lot of that song we used to sing in church "O SINGO SINGO," PRIASE THE LORD. π€£π€£π€£
LECTURER: π€£π€£π€£ Oh you remember the song. I also sang it this way "OH SINGERS SING ON," PRAISE THE LORD (not O SINGO SINGO)
NORA: Sir we really had fun those days of our youths. Our teacher would come to class and lead us in the chorus SANDALILI. I'm sure you know the song.
LECTURER: Oh, yes, I do miss Nora. It is STANDARD LIVING (not SANDALILI) π€£π€£
NORA: The fun was better for me in the RAINING SEASON. That is why I always wish for that season.
LECTURER: Oh I see. I also like the RAINY SEASON (not RAINING SEASON).
NORA: Hmmmm, sir, the way you correct people in the class, I see serious ENEMITY between you and some of the students soon.
LECTURER: Are you serious Miss Nora?! Why should there be ENMITY (not ENEMITY) between me and anyone? It's for their own good.
NORA: Sir, yes, you are correct, but you also have to reduce it a LITTLE BIT.
LECTURER: Ok, you mean I should reduce my correction a LITTLE or A BIT? (not A LITTLE BIT)
NORA: Yes sir, you know, if not that the class yesterday was PROSPONED, you would have heard a lot from the students.
LECTURER: Oh yes, I did not even ask why the class was POSTPONED. What really happened?
NORA: Sir, sincerely, towards the EXTREME END of your class, it is as if you used to insult the students.
LECTURER: You mean I insult when my class gets to the END or EXTREME (not EXTREME END)? I need to tender my sincere apologies.
NORA: Yes sir, without MISSING/MIXING words.
LECTURER: Oh, well, without MINCING (not MIXING/MISSING) word.
NORA: And please, stop making us CRACK our brains everyday sir.
LECTURER: π€£ π€£ π€£ Miss Nora, I wish I could stop making you RACK your brains.
