English Tuition...

there are times where I do not know whether to laugh or cry...

its when... your student reads "ordinary" as "original", thus the sentence becomes somewhat... "Her wish was to be an ORIGINAL girl..."

and when asked what is "breadwinner"... the student's reply is... "BEST BREAD!"; indeed, he has an understanding of the 2 words... Applause for that, but its wrong!!! And when I explain that it means earning money or income, he says..."oh, selling bread to earn money". Great... Now, how did the word breadwinner come along?
