Our English Oral

A long long time ago...

I had compiled all of these into a script for our (eleena and i) english oral.

Unfortunately, we didn't get to do it, because we are true procrastinators and Eleena complained that she didn't want to memorise it. So in the end when we were called up to do it, we had to do it impromptu. We asked for a title and teacher said, "The Beijing Olympics!"

So fine. We did it. Sounded soooooooooo extremely fake though xD

"Oh, did you see Lee Chong Wei?"

"Oh, unfortunately I missed it but I heard he lost to Lin Dan and got silver?" (more like i was too LAZY to on the tv to watch it...)

"Oh yes, it was SUCH a pity... At least Malaysia got a medal :)"

"Oh well, I'm sure Lee Chong Wei tried his best :)"

"Yeah :)"

(something like that) ETC. FAKE, I TELL YOU. You should have heard our voices. I swear mine changed xD "I absolutely LOVED the gymnastic part! Beautiful!"

Omggg.

Well, anyway, I quite liked our original script, so here goes:

Pink = Eleena
Green = Christine
Blue = Both

English is a funny language.
There is no egg in the eggplant,
No ham in the hamburger,
And neither pine nor apple in the pineapple.
English muffins were not invented in England,
French fries were not invented in France.
Quicksand takes you down slowly,
Boxing rings are square,
And a guinea pig is neither from Guinea nor is it a pig.
If writers write,
How come fingers don't fing?
If the plural of tooth is teeth,
Shouldn't the plural of booth be beeth?
If the teacher taught,
Why didn't the preacher praught?
If a vegetarian eats vegetables,
What on Earth does a humanitarian eat!?

You have to marvel at the unique lunacy
Of a language where a house burns up
As it burns down
And in which you fill in a form
By filling it out
English was invented by people,
Not computers,
And it reflects the creativity of the human race
Which of course, isn't a race at all.
Why is the man who invests your money called a broker?
Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist but a person who drivers a racing car isn't called a racist?
If horrific means to make horrible,
Why doesn't terrific mean to make terrible?
If people from Poland are called Poles,
Why aren't people from Holland called Holes?
One goose, two geese.
So one moose, two meese?
In what language do you have people who have noses that run, and feet that smell?

And there is a two-letter word that perhaps has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that's UP. It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list,
But when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?
Why do we speak UP
And why are the officers UP for election
And why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends,
We use it to brighten UP a room,
We warm UP leftovers
And clean UP the kitchen
We open UP a store in the morning
Only to close it UP at night.
To be dressed is one thing, but to be dressed UP is special...
People stir UP trouble,
Line UP for tickets,
Work UP an appetite,
And think UP excuses.
We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP!
When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP.
When the sun comes out, we say it is clearing UP.
One could go on and on about UP,
But I'll wrap it UP for my time is UP,
So... Time to SHUT UP!

I must say I quite liked the idea. (:

Maybe we'll manage to do this for the next one. Lol.

...I do doubt it though. /wall.
