今日6月19日(木)のESSの活動テーマは、“English Jokes”でした。ALTのジェーン先生が、生徒たちにぜひ読ませたいジョークを集めてくれて、一つ一つ読み合わせていきました。すぐ可笑しさのわかるものから、面白さがさっぱり分からないものまで、爆笑したり、シーンとしたり、さまざまな反応が面白かったですね。ジェーン先生の一番のお気に入りのジョークは次のものでした。
John wasn’t happy. He was very lonely. He said, “I will buy a pet.” He went to the pet shop. He didn’t want a cat or a dog. He didn’t want a bird or a fish. John wanted an unusual pet. “I’ll buy a centipede,” he said. The centipede lived in a small box. John took the box home. John liked his new pet. He said, “Do you want to go for a walk?” There was no answer. Again he said, “Do you want to go for a walk?” Again there was no answer. He put his face near the box and yelled, “You in there! Do you want to go for a walk?” A little voice from the box said, “Don’t shout. I heard you the first time. I’m just putting my shoes on!”
