A Piece of My Daily Life

So this week in class we are playing taboo. I had my first class make a bunch of taboo cards.. and this is what I got. Instruction was to write one word and then 3 words that describe it.

Tea: green, bitter, health
Student: hardworking, childish, naughty
Person: kind, friendly, yellow
Boy: strong, handsome, wise
Earth: planet, vigorous, is being destroyed
Girl: beautiful, pure, innocent
Cartoon: Japan, interesting, various
Hat: black, small, ugly
Miniskirt: sexy clothes, mini, woman
Car: convenient, expensive, dangerous
Chocolate: black, sweet, romantic
Boyfriend: lovely, gentle, handsome
Building: huge, oringe, tall
Beijing: 29th, Olympic, sports
Phelps: swimming, 8, foreigner
Light: dim, hot, uncomfortable
Australia: beach, opera, reverse
Gay: two, boy, love
Eye: big, black, shiny
Hair: long, yellow, curl
Woman: beautiful, talkative, diligent
Love: sweet, absurd, forever

This activity taught me more about my student's mentality than anything else has this year. It's amazing to see the cultural differences.
