Round of Applause
There are few times in life, as an ordinary person, where we have the joy and pleasure of being welcomed into a room by a round of applause (and a few cheers to boot). Today was my lucky day!
On Tuesday, I had a class with 2-second-delay sensei. He had forgotten that we were team teaching, and his students were expecting an English test. I arrived to the room about ten seconds after the bell had rung, much to the surprise of my JTE (Japanese teacher of English) and the students.
Although once the students saw me, they quickly realized that the would not be having a test. Instead, we would be having English fun time (as I have come to refer to it). And as that thought dawned upon them, smiles spread across their faces, they started clapping, and a few gave a cheer or two. Not a bad way to make an entrance!!
Once I got them quieted down again, I taught them the phrase, “It is your lucky day.” Because for them it was quite a lucky day, indeed.
