Menjadi Pendengar yang Baik

Tulisan ini saya salin dari blog kedua saya, blog yang saya gunakan untuk melatih Bahasa Inggris saya. Dibaca sampai selesai yuk, kita ambil hikmah kisahnya sekaligus menambah daftar kosakata juga, gituh :)

In a classroom

A teacher said, “Mary, I’d like you to give me a sentence beginning with ‘I’, please.”

Mary thought for a few seconds and then said, “I is…”

The teacher interupted her and said, “No Mary, you cannot begin a sentence with ‘I is’ – you must use ‘I am’.”

Mary looked upset and said, “But Miss…”

The teacher shouted, “Give me a sentence beginning with ‘I am’, please.”

Mary shrugged her shoulders and said, “I am the ninth letter of the alphabet.”

******

Well. From the situation above, there’s at least one lesson we can learn:

Listen to the person whom we talk with *even if the one is younger than us* is a must because we’d never know what message they deliver till they’ve finished communicate it.

Another lesson?

Better refrain yourself from being a smartass *winkwink* 

Glossary:
Shrug: Mengangkat bahu
Refrain: Menahan diri
Shout: Berteriak
Smartass: orang yang sok tau.


Nah, kalau dari teman-teman, pelajaran apa yang bisa didapat dari situasi dalam kelas tersebut? :)
