An Imaginative Student

The given topic was: "The Person I Admire the Most". In 120 words, the students were required to describe their chosen person's appearance, personality and interests.

After some pre-writing activities that were aimed at generating vocabs for writing the description, the students had to write the essay on their own.

I was writing a sample essay on Roger Federer on the board when a student came up to me and asked:

"Saya tak tahu nak tulis pasal siapa Cikgu. Kalau saya tulis pasal Cikgu boleh?"

"Oh, ok. Boleh je."

"Apa yang saya tak tahu pasal Cikgu, saya reka je lah ye?"

"Ok"

At the end of the lesson, the student submitted his piece of fiction.

This is what he wrote:

"A person I admire very much is my teacher. She teach me English subject. She name is Rosyada. She live near at my school it is Taman Melawati. Miss Rosyada is twenty years old but she look young than she age. She is strong and healthy. She has a kind and has nice smile. She hobbie is reading book. She has very good personality. She always wear tudung and baju kurung. She is humble person and got many achievement like accounting and many more. She have one husband and two child. She a spend a lot of time with their husband and their children."


It was hard forcing myself not to laugh when marking his work. I didn't want him to get offended.

All I can say is that he's very imaginative!
