How To Get An A In Engrish

It's getting harder and harder to squeeze out an A from this disgruntled English teacher. You've got to pretty much pass a kidney stone to impress me these days. However, among the mediocre speeches about pets and global warming and baseball heroes, some earned extra brownie points for standing out. Here's how:

1. Be brave. Choose an outrageous topic, like, er... "Vaginal Health". I'm still blushing. And I think Tsurumi sensei vomited in his mouth.

2. Write a catchy closing. If you're most kids, you say "Thank you for listening". But if you're Mr. Sato, you shake things up with: "Sorry, I'm a fuck-up".

3. Take the gesture suggestion a little too far. Simulate taking your clothes off.

4. Be ironic. Forget your speech at home. Next week, deliver your speech, entitled: "Don't Make Excuses: Take Responsibility"

To be continued...4 more grueling weeks of speeches to go!
