No, actually, students, you won't get through IELTS if the moral of The Gifts of the Magi is 'Never spend too much on gifts' as opposed to 'The best present of all is love'.
Yes, 'tomorrow' really does have only one 'm'. What's that, N? Well yes, I actually do know the language and I can't wait till the end of the day to say that wreathed in polite grins.
No, you were right the first time and when I say 'Brilliant, fantastic' it means you're right and you don't have to get it wrong the next ten times.
No, actually Jim is not sad because Della is a modern woman and cut her hair short.
No, Della does not hate Jim's gift because it reminds her of her hair.
No, Jim is not unhappy because he does not have a job - the book says he does.
Yes, the past tense is past, the present is present and you DID just say that to me when I wasn't asking. WHY will you not answer right when I am???? Waaaahhh, no it will not make it better if you offer to take teacher out to Burger King over lunch. And even if you flirt, I will still be friendly but get very corrective on grammar. For instance if you say 'Do you can go out when night week every?', I solemnly promise not to answer Wednesdays and Thursdays. I WILL say that two auxiliary verbs do not go together in simpler words and disregard your question!
Lol, yes they flirt sometimes but they are lovely and some of them very nice.

Loved the bit about Della being the modern woman! Perhaps they were all even more sad because no one in class understood what they were upste about in the first place! It does sound frustrating. Besides they should at least ask you out for a candle lit dinner rather than Burger King then it would be more tempting...oh think of all those great desserts at fancy restaurants!
what bothers me is the age of these students, and that you are enticing them to take you out for lunch by playing hard to get. Just like you - anything to save money. But jim seems lovely. Why must Della reject his gift though, poor boy. After he went to all that trouble too. And i'd like to know what this gift is that reminds Della of her hair.Hmmmm. Just What did he wrap up?
jen - he he i know!! :O
glyn - uh, :P and read the story dude!
