as usual, i took the attendance followed by a lecture about jobs n occupation. bla..bla..bla...then i gave them some exercise about job..not really an exercise..just some puzzles..
after they completed that n discussed the answer, i give them some vocab exercise to look for synonyms, antonyms and whatnot.....for this exercise, i expected them to use the dictionary...
since i didnt see any of them use it, i blurted a question ...
me : did u guys have any idea of an invention that has been called as dictionary???
ss : owh, teacher..we are advanced!! all we have to do is just click-click-click and we got the answers...
me : ok, but i still think u need one...
ss : tak payah penat2 selak2 teacher....telefon kan dah canggih2...
me : owh...ye??? ni semua duk harap dengan encik google laa nih ....ok, fine! i just cant wait to know your answers.
when we discuss the answer, they had to look for a meaning for "CONFIDENTIALITY"... yeah, such an easy word. but these students arent as bright as MRSM nor University..
when asked them to give the answer for that particular word, most of the students eagerly gave the answer "see CONFIDE"
me?? rase nak pengsan tergelak!
ni laa masa aku bebel kan depa nih..biaq pi laa hang bukan student aku ka hapa ka... " haa...tu lah dia!! percaya sangat dengan encik google kan??? see confide yer????lain kali kalo die tulis see confide OR any other words...what you should do is , click the word to look for the meaning..jangan amik bulat2...tu lah!! dah ade teknologi ..belagak dengan teknologi.... tapi tak reti nak gune!! abes tu kalau awak tulis situ SEE CONFIDE tu, awk expect saya nak see macam mana???buleh saye click dlm buku awk ke???"
owh ye... pardon me... if i nag them in english, they dont even understand..and the message wont go across...
