Chinglish

I thought I'd give you a taste of my students' English levels. This was written by a sophomore, and it is one of the more well written assignments that I received. The class watched "Ocean's Eleven" and had to answer the question: who is the good guy and who is the bad guy in the movie? This is exactly what she wrote, misspellings and all:

We all know that it's illegal to rob money. But in my opinion all eleven persons are good guys. They do have special skills, for example, the little Chinese can turn somersaults and very flexible. They work together, help each other, united, brave and kind.
But my favorite memmber is Danny. He is brave man. He was free from the prison. after robbing, he was sent to prison again but without a word. He also a brilliant guy, he draws on his girlfriend to rob the casino boss - he put a cellphone in her pocket secretly, but it's no a sin. Last but no the least he is a handsome man and has handsome does. He loves her girlfriend always. It is the true love.
I don't like Benedict - the boss of the casino. Yes, he does have lots of money, but he has poor happy. Because he loves money more than love itself. He is a successful man in business, but a failure in love affair. He is a bad guy, otherwise Ocean's eleven would not rob him casino.


Well, I leave for Laos in 24 hours. I'm scrambling to finish everything I need to before I leave - handing in my final grades, doing laundry, cleaning my fridge... I'll try to write from the road, but otherwise have a good six weeks! I'll be back in Anshun February 16!
