Today I am not discouraged about my students´ English.  Still, I could not help but laugh a bit reading their spelling homework.  Gerson, one of my brighter students, writes:
1) I use a umbrella cover from the rain.  (not too bad!)
2) I speak English.  (Okay.)
3)     (?)
4) I remembrance the table of six.  (In all fairness, why is remembrance a word this week anyway?)
5) The circus has function at 9:00pm.
6) Keidy and Gerson has a goggles for swim.
7) I complain to the horrible food.  (Straight to its face, eh?)
8) I had merchandise on the food market.
9) I had an expression happy.  (Hey, he got the an right!)
10) I don´t had distust to Ana.  (Not sure the state of Ana and Gerson´s relationship).
What is that Mary Oliver line about the trees?  These kids.
I would almost say they save me, 
and daily.
