Stories...ok I'll start.....

I had an Oral English class of about 40 Tourism English students.

They thought of themselves as the “runt of the litter” because they didn’t do well on their GAOKAO. I found them to be quite the opposite. Though they studied at a University, they were 3-year “certificate” students (i.e. they leave the Uni with no degree and no diploma). They had a feisty “I can do it” attitude because they felt they had to prove they belonged. Their speeches were so good that kids from other classes would sneak in the back to listen or peer in the windows. Their class was at the end of the day (actually an evening/ night class) and I would often let it run long BECAUSE THEY DIDN’T WANT TO LEAVE!

 

In short..."the runts of the litter” were actually pedigrees and thoroughbreds of the highest order....
