A thank you letter from students

One of the pleasures of teaching lexically is when you see your students starting to incorporate into their speech and writing lexical chunks studied in class - albeit not always appropriately. Here is a thank you letter I recently received from my students at the end of a course.





Reproduced here verbatim











Leo


How many years have you been our teacher? Actually, we
really don't know, what we know is that you are our best teacher and we love
you admire you and want you to be our teacher forever.





It is not easy to teach three old persons for so many
years, but you don’t try to get rid of us you don't stick to rules or concept
except collocations. You try every year to come up with new approach, a new
method, and new ideas. You do a lot that every lesson will be uplifting and a
little bit heavy. You have the talent to get through to your students about
the importance of remembering the collocations. We all get on with each other
very well and there's never a dull moment with you.





For the next year we all promise to:





Crack down on coming late to the lesson 


Resist the temptation of not doing homework


Bring to class pastry for every lesson 





And go over and over the all collocation during the
vacation so we'll come perfectly ready for the New Year.


Can you spot the collocations we've been looking at with the students?

It began in 2008 and was forestalled for five years with fudge putty, but the weight of global indebtedness cannot be propped any longer and the final crunch is imminent. Austerity measures herald the final throes.  Indications of coming austerity.   Austerity measures are the final last ditch effort, futile or not! Back in the day many of us old-timers went through periods of "hard-times". In retrospect I realize there is no comparison to yesteryear hard times and today's version. Back then, expectations were never very high for the working class, there were no sophisticated systems or conveniences anyway. In fact the difference between being "set" or not was about having treats or not. Si...
