Teaching Story

A funny student story:

I was teaching the phrase "to beat the traffic".

The students understood the idea of the phrase.

So, to further practice the phrase, I asked: " what time do I have to go downtown on the weekend to beat the crowds?"

The student, in his very timid manner, said "excuse me, what did you say?"

"What time do I have to be downtown to beat the crowds?" I ask again.

He spells it to me. "K-R-A-U-T-S?"

"No!, a group of people...C-R-O-W-D-S!"

Welcome to my life.
