Last week, we made a request to Manu that we wish to go back to our favourite classroom 200 - the one near Olio cafe, because we are used to the big long table and executive chairs, instead of those small flappy table tops connected to the chairs.
.
Bons nouvelles! We managed to do a swap with another class and snatched Salon 200 back! We have another new classmate, in addition to those we met last week. I couldn’t quite catch her name, sounds like ‘poisson’?! (Evelyn later told me that it should be Pui San) She saw some of us using photocopied textbooks and told Evelyn that she photocopied her exercise book so that she can write notes on it (what’s wrong with writing onto the exercise book itself?).
.
Manu moved swiftly to leçon 2 (we didn’t do much for leçon 1!), the theme is immigration. He prepared a list of 12 questions for us to work through our answers. Then, Wiwi was hand-picked to take the hot seat of being interrogated. We were asked to ask her questions from the list. She speaks very nice French, with proper French accent! Her accent reminds me of Grace.
- Pui San (asking Wiwi): Si vous quittiez votre pays pour installer dans un autre pays, quelle serait la première chose que vous feriez?
- Wiwi: Lorque j’arrive, dans l’aeroport, je téléphone à mes parents.
- Manu: Hmm….
- Evelyn (laughing at Ping’s answer to the same question): Haha…[you] chercher la supermarché…
- Ping (to Evelyn): Shhh….
.
Manu gave us un petit devoir.
- Manu: Vous souhaitez immigrer en France. Préparez une série de questions que vous poserez à Manu King, (emphasizing) sauf des questions sexuelles, afin de savoir quelles seront vos conditions de vie dans ce pays. D’accord?
- Manu (disturbing Ming Wei): Ming Wei euh, combien de petite amis je peux avoir? Combien de femmes je peux embrasser? Je te introduis mes amis!
- Choon: Je n’ai pas des questions, mes questions sont interdit!
