As a part of placing new students with the EF system, we do an interview. For our early teenage students, the test involves a list of questions where we are looking for specific implementation of grammar structures and vocabulary.
As the student successfully answers more questions, said questions get more difficult, and become freer in their construction. Often, students will provide entertaining answers. Once, I asked a student about dinosaurs, and he replied that "they lived a long time ago. They were big, and they ate plants... I don't think the plants ate the dinosaurs."
Just now, I presented the following to a student:
"Many people believe that if you break a mirror, you will have seven years' bad luck. What other superstitions do you know of?"
His response was priceless:
"I know in America, people pray to God and go to church on Sundays."
Brilliant. Absolutely brilliant.
