das memórias e da gratidão

E neste período apetece-me recordar alguns dos melhores momentos e deixá-los aqui a marinar para ao longo dos próximos tempos me recordar o bom do trabalho feito.

Episódio 1:
«Hua Mulan was born in the fifth century.»
teacher, i don't understand.
what?
born
to be born is the opposite of to die.
ok.
«She was a chinese warrior.»
teacher, i still don't understand.
what, j.?
in the fifth century.
yes. she was born in the fifth century. i was born in the twentieth century. you were born in the twentieth century. so we were born in the twentieth century.
owe. ok!
but teacher, he wasn't born in the twentieth century. he was born in the twenty-first century.
(levei algum tempo até conseguir digerir esta informação)

episódio 2:

old, young, middle-aged, are adjectives we use to talk about age.
teacher, what's middle-aged?
ok. you're young, right?
yes.
i'm older, right?
yes.
your history teacher is middle-aged.
oh! i see, she's from the middle age!
(deus meu...tenho de escolher melhor os meus exemplos, definitivamente!)
