Mivel már többen is kérték, jöjjön most egy angol érettségi, hogy láthassa élő és élni próbáló mind, mivel is kínozzák az nagy nagybetűst megelőzően a kedves ifjúkorú delikvenseket L2 akvizíció tekintetében, hogy majdan bátoran szólalhassanak meg az idelátogató... na de hagyjuk.
Ímhol a dokumentáció, szárazon, víz nélkül:

A képet megfejteni nem tudókra szörnyű mérgesen kell, hogy nézzek. Most ezt nem linkelem be ide, de el lehet képzelni.
Korábban már itt górcső alá vettünk egy kellemes társalgást ezen a nyelven (mereznemangoldenemám), most csak egy kérdés, az egyre inkább begyűrűző hasonszőrű, sőt, továbbmegyek, egyazon alomból való kifejezésekre reagálandó: Ti hogyan kezelitek a tanulóitok ilyen területre vonatkozó, áltisk 4. osztály, "Láttam a faterraa' tennap a zédzsbíón a, na, mivótacíme, izé, feketékvótakbenne fímet, oszt a csóka mindég eztetmontahogy..." típusú kérdéseket?
Mert éppen ezek közül is használhatott egyet:

Nektek hasonló, visszatérő kifejezések? És egyúttal itt kérek elnézést a SE rajongóktól és művelőktől, no offense.
BOB BRINGS THE COOKIES TO THE VILLAGE MARKETBob brings Carol the cookies. He tells Carol that baking the cookies was easy because he had lots of help.
Carol: Bob, how did the baking go?
Bob: Slow at first, but we're getting the hang of it.
Carol: Once you learn the ropes, it becomes second nature.
Bob: To tell you the truth, I thought that baking 2,000 cookies would be a pain in the neck. But we managed to round up some helpers, and it was a piece of cake.
Carol: Well, thanks for coming in person with the cookies.
Bob: No problem. When will you need more?
Carol: It depends on how many we sell today.
Bob: How many do you think you'll sell?
Carol: Maybe 500, maybe 2,000. Your guess is as good as mine. In any case, I'll keep you posted.
Bob: Okay. Just give me a ring as soon as you know.
at first - in the beginning
EXAMPLE 1: Nicole didn't like Don Quixote at first, but after 200 pages she started to get into it.
EXAMPLE 2: Don't get discouraged if you don't succeed at first. The
important thing is that you keep on trying!
...vagyis mit nem akartál tudni, vagy ha akartál, nem mondták el. Egyébként külön lelki vállonveregetés annak, aki tudja, melyik nagy magyar klasszikusban ('80-as évek) hangzik el a mai címünk, és folytatódik így - "...hogy ki mondta, arra már nem emlékszem, de biztos nagyon okos lehetett" - ja, és mindezt a rendes jogállamban foganatosított idevágó büntetéseik szakértője, Paul ihlette, legott ehun ezekkel itten ni, akinek sőndánke, BTW (a kedvencemet illusztráltam):
1. King Ozymandias of Assyria was running low on cash after years of war with the Hittites. His last great possession was the Star of the Euphrates , the most valuable diamond in the ancient world. Desperate, he went to Croesus, the pawnbroker, to ask for a loan. Croesus said, "I'll give you 100,000 dinars for it." "But I paid a million dinars for it," the King protested. "Don't you know who I am? I am the king!" Croesus replied, "When you wish to pawn a Star, makes no difference who you are."
2. Evidence has been found that William Tell and his family were avid bowlers. Unfortunately, all the Swiss league records were destroyed in a fire, ...and so we'll never know for whom the Tells bowled.
3. A man rushed into a busy doctor's office and shouted, "Doctor! I think I'm shrinking!" The doctor calmly responded, "Now, settle down. You'll just have to be a little patient."
4. A marine biologist developed a race of genetically engineered dolphins that could live forever if they were fed a steady diet of seagulls. One day, his supply of the birds ran out so he had to go out and trap some more. On the way back, he spied two lions asleep on the road. Afraid to wake them, he gingerly stepped over them. Immediately, he was arrested and charged with-- transporting gulls across sedate lions for immortal porpoises.
5. Back in the 1800's the Tate's Watch Company of Massachusetts wanted to produce other products, and since they already made the cases for watches, they used them to produce compasses. The new compasses were so bad that people often ended up in Canada or Mexico rather than California . This, of course, is the origin of the expression -- "He who has a Tate's is lost!"
6. A thief broke into the local police station and stole all the toilets and urinals, leaving no clues. A spokesperson was quoted as saying, "We have absolutely nothing to go on."
7. An Indian chief was feeling very sick, so he summoned the medicine man. After a brief examination, the medicine man took out a long, thin strip of elk rawhide and gave it to the chief, telling him to bite off, chew, and swallow one inch of the leather every day. After a month, the medicine man returned to see how the chief was feeling. The chief shrugged and said, "The thong is ended, but the malady lingers on."
8. A famous Viking explorer returned home from a voyage and found his name missing from the town register. His wife insisted on complaining to the local civic official who apologized profusely saying, "I must have taken Leif off my census."
9. There were three Indian squaws. One slept on a deer skin, one slept on an elk skin, and the third slept on a hippopotamus skin. All three became pregnant. The first two each had a baby boy. The one who slept on the hippopotamus skin had twin boys. This just goes to prove that... the squaw of the hippopotamus is equal to the sons of the squaws of the other two hides. (Some of you may need help with this one).10. A skeptical anthropologist was cataloging South American folk remedies with the assistance of a tribal Brujo who indicated that the leaves of a particular fern were a sure cure for any case of constipation. When the anthropologist expressed his doubts, the Brujo looked him in the eye and said, "Let me tell you, with fronds like these, you don't need enemas."
Hogy ezekkel mit lehetne bambítani (a bambul igéből, hapax legomenon, levédve, szabadségvesztéssel büntetendő jogtalan használat, ésígytovább) angolórán! De még törin is, vagy földrajzon, főleg egy kéttannyelvűben.
Nicole is running for student body president. She must give a speech next week. She discusses the speech with her mother.
Susan: What's up, Nicole?
Nicole: I pulled an all-nighter working on my election speech.
Susan: No wonder you look like a basket case! Did you finish your speech?
Nicole: Yes, at 6 a.m.
Susan: That must be a load off your mind!
Nicole: It's not. I've got to give the speech tomorrow in front of 1,500 people. I'm a nervous wreck!
Susan: Just remember the old rule of thumb: Imagine your audience naked.
Nicole: That's gross. Why would I want to do that?
Susan: According to conventional wisdom, it'll make you less nervous.
Nicole: Only practice will do the trick.
Susan: Okay, let's hear the speech.
Nicole: Good afternoon, everyone. There are four candidates running for president. You think you have several choices. In reality, you have just one choice: me!
Susan: You can't say that. You'll turn off your audience immediately.
Nicole: It sounds like I have a big head?
Susan: I'll say!
Csak így zárójelben, hangosan gondolkodva - ez lenne a 200. poszt? Hmmm...ééééérdekes.

Ez nem angol, de mégis az. Az ilyen kultúrközi átfedések nyelvi szinten különösen szépek lehetnek, vagy éppen zavaróak, vagy modorosak, vagy titkosak, vagy érthetetlenek, vagy utálatosak, vagy éppen híjjnyemiafíszkes, ha mondjuk fordítani kell - kinek mi. Mindegy, itt egy kis ízelítő:
Csak egy kis emlékeztető, azokra a napokra, amikor már teljesen belefeledkeztünk önnön nagyságunkba...

Persze, tudom én, hogy a legtöbb bősz nyelvhasználónak ez az alap alapja, de attól még nem kerül bele automatikusan a fejekbe. Tehát meg lehet tanítani. Innentől kihívás. Módszertan lent.
Robby gyűjteménye:
How are you getting on? – just another way of saying ‘how are you?’
You doing OK? – asked when the person has had some tough experience recently and you want to ask politely if they’re OK.
Hi, …! What’s new? – this is a very informal way of greeting a close friend or anyone who you see on a regular basis and you want to ask has anything happened since you last met.
Hi, …! What’s up? – the same as above with a difference that you’re probably not that interested in what news the other person might have.
Hi, …! Long time no see! – used when you haven’t seen the person for a long period of time and you want to state that fact in the greeting.
Hi, …! Have you been keeping busy? – just a standard enquiry with little or no direct meaning.
Do you mind me asking…? – a typical way of asking something that might be a slightly personal question.
OK, here’s the thing … – a very handy way to start making your point if you’re not sure how to begin the sentence.
