Another Brilliant Idea

Mr Romero posted on the English Departement's blog (germ@namur) an entry that I find particularily interesting, in the sense that it can be useful to see how many people actually read this blog:

Here it is Simon, but you already knew I read your blog, right?!

Simon said...

Yes, I do know that: you're the only one who's posted comments for the past three months or so… I'm still waiting for other people's comments.

I'm busy discovering your blog. If I don't study enough for tueday's test it will be your fault ;)

Eloy JM Romero-Muñoz said...

Come on Martin, be a responsible student, will you?!

Simon said...

Yeah, responsible is the word. Anyway, the test is behind us now.

By the way, why did you ask questions about stuff that we didn't have to study (e.g. "more lazy than stupid")?



Are there any other readers? I hope there are more than two…

Eloy JM Romero-Muñoz said...

I'm quite sure that was part of the stuff you guys had to study. Let me explain how I go about writing questions aout PEU:

1. I look at the ridiculousmy easy mistakes in the list (page xxvi) and select one -- for the sentence you are referring to it's be "it is more cold today ==> it is colder today"

2. I open my book at the corresponding section (137)

3. I read THE WHOLE OF SECTION 137

4. ON page 114 I find a very interesting paragraph (the last one on that page)

5. I realize I was only supposed to go up to "where's the station" and I feel like a jerk. Thanks SImon.

Ok this doesn't make you or even me feel any better I suppose, but I'll gladly get rid of that question and any other questions that were not meant to be asked.

Thanks for pointing that out.

Simon said...

Oh, no! Don't get rid of them! Please count them as bonus points!

And you're right: these were ridiculously easy mistakes.

By the way, why do first-year students have to study the same vocabulary book as the one we have?

Eloy JM Romero-Muñoz said...

Mmm, good question. We thought you guys already spent lots of money on books, so we decided to have you buy one and the same vocab book. The difference is that we'll be using it more, but over a longer period of time. Voilà.
