Today I had English class at my school, and the teacher asked a girl in my class a lot of questions about U.S. history. Sometimes it seems like they learn more about our history than we do in America! One of the questions was: "What was the hardest season for the English settlers?"
"Death." the girl answered.
"No. Seasons!"
"Oh! Cinammon?"
"No."
"Salt?"
"No."
"Um... Ginger!" the girl exclaimed. Frustrated, the teacher asked another student, who immediately answered "Winter", the correct answer. Germans again!
i like the first answer - death. what's up with that?\

maybe some really strong pepper season.
ReplyDeleteI have no idea how she came upon these answers. In English today I learned that Platypus in German is 'Schnabeltier', lit. 'Billed animal'.
