“Wow, he is so great.”

A context-free highlight* (and picture!), wrought from the World Wide Web:

“ "You’re late again, Ma Nan."
"I’m sorry, Miss Zhang."
"When do you get up every morning?"
"At 7."
"Get up earlier. Don’t be late next time." ”


(*So, I plan on making "Context-Free ..." a regular feature here, but I actually think this little story is served better with just an eensy bit of context: it's from an English-language grade school textbook. And really, isn't hectoring the best way to learn English?)
