ENGLISH ZONE

ENGLISH ZONE is a forum on my school's website. The general idea is to help students feel more comfortable with English and improve their communication skills. I try to post questions that are simple and engaging.

While I think it's a good idea...the results vary:

ME: Welcome back to school! How was your summer? My summer was very good. What did you do? I watched the Olympics. See you soon!

USA is second. -3rd grade student

Yes.-3rd grade student

ME: I love playing soccer in the fall. Do you like soccer? What is your favorite sport?

You are good at soccer! I indulge about how can do soccer like you~are you a soccer player in this school? -5th grade student

I like swim. -2nd grade student

I like soccer. -3rd grade student

Why? -3rd grade student

ME: Do you have a nickname? If yes, what is the meaning?

My nickname? My nickname is chatterbox, troublesome child!!!! isn't so fantastic. -5th grade student

My nickname is dograt. I don't know why. -5th grade student

tjs. -1st grade student

Hi... -3rd grade student

I feel bad laughing at dograt and co. but English Zone amuses me. And, is it just me, or do the third graders have really good comedic timing?
