English is FUN! :D

Our English Subject is with a cute and very witty teacher, Ms. Alma Almerol. At first thought, English was easy but it was not. For me it’s hard.

During elementary days it was easy like the verbs and other things but now I got mislead.

I sometimes misinterpret the lesson but ofcourse English really needs common sense
Let’s talk about our English teacher, as what I’ve said above she is Ms. Almerol, she was childish.

She always tells us “Oy Bakla!” but it’s okay she’s funny.

We are glad to have a teacher like that because we are kinda close?

But sometimes (being honest huh?!) she’s nakakalito so I sometimes misinterpret our lessons.

But English is COOL with our CUTE teacher
