Chinglish+Love=Laughter

Chinese students often bring smiles to my face. My students make me smile through the notebooks they choose for their homework records (because the covers are a scream!) as well as what they write on their personal surveys and homework records. The funniest thing is that all of these items often reference the topic of love.

Allow me to share the smiles.

    This notebook cover begs to be read aloud in varying degrees of volume, with great emotion, and interspersed with laughter.



     These survey answers refused to flip right, but hopefully they still bring a smile to your face.



This notebook cover's bizarre "Love Chapter" references made me chuckle. 



My students' tendency to misuse the phrase "puppy love" makes me smile.



I suppose some would not find the juxtaposition of these two words as odd as I did. But I certainly smiled.



Their honesty makes me smile. Who doesn't wish for such a perfect boyfriend/girlfriend?



This notebook cover's noble description of "The Handsome Men" caused me to spend the rest of my day looking for "Him"/ "Them".



This homework reflection made me smile, and wince...hahah. 



Checking homework is not the most enjoyable task, but my students' choices of  words and notebooks keeps me chuckling...and looking for love. Hahah!
