For the first I was nervous because I thought it would had been a new foreign teacher at this course.
However, finally Henry showed for this class. I was very glad for his teaching.
The original class is talking about the communication by phone.
Finally we talked about the social networking, not limiting by phone, the original topic for this class.
From MSN, Google talk, Skype to Facebook.
Henry said that Google talk is very famous in US.
I have never used with Google talk. Maybe someday I will try it.
The first talk we didn't mention about Facebook. I thought Facebook in a sudden.
Then Henry started to say something interested about Facebook and My Space.
He said that if possible, he would have to change the name of Facebook and My Space. He would called them the "Ass-book" or "My Ass".
First of all, I didn't understand what he said, but my smart classmate got it down for its prouncation.
It's cool enough!
So Henry started the topic about "Ass".
There are many useful expression about "Ass", and its meaning may be very useful!
Sometimes it's the slang, but finally it becomes to the mainstream.
For instance,
1. I'm = My ass
2. You = Your ass
3. Ass is King. (I thought it was the main topic about my class. Haha!)
4. Where's your ass? = Where are you?
5. Nice ass! = Do it well!
6. Your ass is mine! = I'm going to win or be successful.
7. Your ass in grass. = You're in big trouble.
8. I'm on my ass. = Having a diffcult time cannot deal with the pressure.
9. Your ass is on fire. = You are doing very well.
10. ass backwards = doing it completely wrong.
There are something for the colorful language,which is more effective communication than the apporiate way.
For example,
1. that's how we roll. = that's the way we do things.
2. It's all good! = Although they may be difficulties or problems, we're confident in overcoming. (= winning or being successful).
At this class, the English learning was very funny and interesting.
I really like to learn by this way. Maybe just because of Henry. Haha!
However, I think my listening and understanding is a bit confused.
I have to pay more attention about it and try to break the difficulties about it.
My oral is still not good enough. I have to try more about talking and expressing what I think and what I want to express.
Keep going!
