THIS TOPIC HAS ALSO BEEN DISCUSSED HERE
Jason set the tone for today’s lesson by telling us about a party he went to on the weekend where a stripper had been hired – lucky your girlfriend wasn’t there!
We then watched the video below of Corey Worthington, who became famous in 2007/2008 for his organisation of ‘the best street party ever’
what makes a great party?
is it influenced by the number of men or woman?
Kyung Suk thought that this depended on the type of party it was: ‘buck’s’ nights and ‘hen’s’ nights (the parties to celebrate before you get married) were a little different
what did/would you do for your hen’s and buck’s nights? Kyung Suk won’t tell us what she did but we’ll find out!
next class we’ll be talking about the best party you’ve ever been to
For homework we were asked ‘what two things would you teach your children?’
So, what are the two most important things you would teach them? Yosuke suggested teaching manners and encouraging them to be sociable.
After all, it’s not what you know, but who you know!
Kyoung Suk suggested something slightly different: diligence and love.
What is ‘diligence’ though? Focus to a particular task and never giving up/perserverance are some of the ways Kyoung Suk wanted to apply this word to her children.
Why did you choose these? Did you parents encourage you to be like this? Are you like this?
We also discussed schooling. Did you attend a private school? Public school? Religious school? Was it ‘co-ed’ (boys and girls) or just single-sex (all boys or all girls)?
Yosuke suggested he would send his son to a ‘co-ed’ but not his daughter!
And would you consider home-schooling?
What are you most scared of?

on:Boo! We recently discussed the things that freak us out, spook us, and make it difficult for us to sleep at night.
So what scares you? Jason told us about his fear of swimming and how he managed to beat it. On ya mate. Helen expanded her options and told us about both her childhood and adult fears. Wel, we were all scared of the dark at one point! Of course, the fear of losing someone close to us is something a lot of us suffer, so you’re not alone there. Finally, Yosuke, being a surfer, told us of his fear of shark attacks. Some close calls in there!
At the same time, perhaps it would have been better you not telling us – we had a trip to Manly just two days later 🙂
Last Summer it seemed like there was a shark sighting everyday, but I think that was more the newspapers looking for a story than anything else. Read the article, I think you’ll find you’re more likely to be struck by lightning that being bitten by a shark.
And what am I scared of? This happening again lol
