TOEFL SPEAKING

Getting prepped for my one-month summer job teaching TOEFL speaking (and to sub for Grace’s class for a day).

Question: “What is the most difficult experience you’ve ever had?”

Grace asks the class, “What if your life has been easy and wonderful? What do you do then?”

The kids in unison, “LIE.”

 

One girl answers the question, “Riding a scary ride at an amusement park.”

Grace asks her, “Did you throw up?”

The girl: “No.”

Grace:  “Just say that you did.”

 

Grace, we’re teaching the kids to be “creative” right, not the art of lying? ;)
