Brown: (Sounding slightly annoyed.) Repeat after me, you are English. For example, you are from Pakistan.Īli: But I cannot say you are from Pakistan because you are not, are you? Brown: I want you to give me a sentence using "you are". Miss Courtney: Then I suggest you take it to the bank in the morning and convert it into English currency. According to this morning's financial papers, that should give us a profit of £1045.50. So I collected £29.50 in sterling and the rest is made up of 2000 yen, 3000 lira, 250 pesetas, 75 drachmas, 50 francs and 12 Deutsche Marks. Brown: Eh, not all of them had £5 in English money. Brown: Well, that all depends upon the rate of exchange. If you want to do that sort of thing, you should have joined the sports and pastimes. Brown: There will be no throat-slicing in my class.

Brown: You walk with sheeps? A shepherd? You work on a farm? Brown: I think I'll just put you down as Max. Student: Maximillian Andreas Archimedes Papandrious. You are committing a mistake.Īli: Yes please. We've had the window frames nailed down.Īli: Oh no. Miss Courtney: It's got nothing to do with confidence. Brown: How distressing! Well, uh, there's no need to worry on my account, I'm not likely to climb out of the classroom window. Miss Courtney: Climbed out of the classroom window on to the roof, took off all his clothes and stood there stark naked singing "I've Got a Lovely Bunch of Coconuts". Oh he seemed to be able to cope at first but then one day he just snapped. I'm afraid he only lasted a month and then he departed. He was teaching English to foreign students last term. I distinctly requested the local authority to send me a woman teacher, especially in view of what happened with Mr. Miss Courtney: I am referring to the fact that you are a man. I wasn't looking where I was going.Īli: That makes the two of us. (Ali accidentally bumps into Jeremy Brown.)Īli: Oh dearie me! I am not going where I am looking. Miss Courtney: You mean hoping to be enrolled?Īli: That is what I said, "hopping to be unrolled." None (formerly employed at the Taj Mahal Tandoori Restaurant in Putney)Īli: Yes please. Maximillian Andreas Archimedes Papandrious Before he leaves, he suggests that she nail down more of the window frames. He encounters Miss Courtney, who asks if he's giving up his job, to which he sheepishly replies that he can cope with the class. Brown gives them homework on their experience in England and runs out of the classroom, sighing with relief. Brown teaches the students for the first time, starting with the verb "to be", with some giving correct or wrong answers. Ali and Ranjeet insult each other and Giovanni and Max argue over Danielle, both a sign of things to come. Brown goes to his classroom to ask the students their names, nationalities and occupations.

He heads off for room 5, which is where the EFL (English as a foreign language) class is held, but on the way out he bumps into Jeremy Brown.
