Vocab:

EFL = English as Foreign Language = inglês como língua estrangeira.
Remedial course = aula de apoio.
Workshop = reunião, seminário.
Windy = ventoso, no sentido de estar ventando.


Three EFL students are walking down the road to their remedial listening comprehension workshop.

"It's windy" says the first.
"No it isn't, it's Thursday" says the second.
"Me too." says the third, "Forget the listening, let's go for a drink!"

LOL, good one, there is another:

English Teacher: "Johnny, the clock on the wall is not working, but you have a watch. What time is it?"
Johnny: "2 o'watch."

Maybe we should open a topic about jokes, what do you think?

It looks a good idea to me, although we should hear what the moderators have to say about it. :geek:

Telling jokes may prove a good writing exercise. Have the forum users ever attempted to tell Brazilian jokes in English? It shouldn't prove that difficult. We may as well give it a try.

A: "Let's play a guessing game!"
B: "Yes. How do we go about it?"
A: "You have to guess by the smell. The harder you sniff it, the faster you guess it. Here take this stuff. Now smell it."
B: "But A, this smells like sh*t--"
A: "Well, what'd you know! You've already guessed this one!"

It fell flat, didn't it?!

Hi Jean,

If I may:

You should either write everything in the present or in the past. I prefer in the present:

A drunk man gets in a bus, sits beside a girl and says:
- how ugly you are, you are the most horrible thing I ever seen!!!
the girl looks at him and replies:
- And you are a disgusting drunk!!!
the drunk imediately replies:
- Yeah, but tomorrow I'll be cured!!!
