tennis okay I'm just gonna keep asking
your academic questions from this other
and other students sometimes I don't
know how to say whenever my English
teacher asks me questions
sometimes I don't know what to say
whenever my English teachers ask me
questions what should I do
well why you are finding it hard to
answer questions is it because your
English teacher asks weird things like
how are you is a possibility because it
might be that your English teachers are
asking strange questions for which there
is no answer so I mean that is something
that you have to think about we tend to
think that native speakers are really
really good at their language whereas
actually sometimes they're just as
clumsy in conversation as you are as the
second language speaker and sometimes
they're just really really nervous and
just say anything which comes into the
head and like even another native
speaker were just like what the am
I supposed to say to that
so there's a possibility then there's
the possibility that you haven't learned
the words the phrases the expressions
that you need to express the thing that
you want to express in relation to that
so that could also be a problem then
again it might be that you are just
really really boring and you don't do
anything with your life and therefore
you have nothing of interest to say
exactly that was what I was gonna say
the next because a very common question
was what did you do last weekend a lot
of people just couldn't answer the
question yeah like--on just because they
didn't do anything the week before yeah
well first of all that is a crap
question to ask him I mean because let's
be honest I mean who does do exciting
things every single weekend I mean
that's such an English teacher question
I mean when I worked at a conversation
school in in
Pam I mean that's how everybody started
every single a so what did you do at the
weekend but the oldest answer for 99% of
students 99% of the students is that it
cool I work really hard in the week
and I just slept
oh that's what we do at the weekend I
got drunk and I had a hangover I threw
up on Sunday want
