英語の学習は、長い道のりです。頑張りすぎると途中でバテます。
受験勉強は、試験にパスするのが目的で短期決戦でした。
使える英語を身につけるためにはコツコツ継続するだけです。
頑張らないで楽しんでやることも必要です。
偶にはアメリカンジョークも学習の教材になります。
言語を習得することは、その文化に親しむことでもあります。
時々アメリカンジョークに目を通して
英語の学習と文化に親しむ時間も持ちましょう。
さて閑話休題、ジョークを楽しんでみてください。
A man who was driving a car with his wife was stopped by a police officer. The following exchange took place. The man says, “What’s the problem, officer?”
- Officer: “You were going at least 125kmp/
- Man: “No sir, I was going 100kmp/h.”
- Wife: “Oh, Harry. You were going 140kmp/h.” (The man gave his wife a dirty look.)
- Officer: “I’m also going to give you a ticket for your broken taillight. “
- Man: “Broken taillight? I didn’t know about a broken taillight!”
- Wife: “Oh Harry, you’ve known about that taillight for weeks.” (The man gave his wife another dirty look.)
- Officer: “I’m also going to give you a citation for not wearing your seat belt.”
- Man: “Oh, I just took it off when you were walking up to the car.”
- Wife: “Oh Harry, you never wear your seat belt.”
The man turned to his wife and yelled, “SHUT YOUR MOUTH!”
The officer turned to the woman and asked, “Ma’am, does your husband talk to you this way all the time?”
