One six four

J: Yes exception is correct, it comes from the word except. Yes furniture is a noun, it comes from the word furnish. But why you write picture?
Y: Er, come from the word pic?

J: Spell metaphor and simile.
Y: M-e-t-a-p-h-e-r, s-i-m-a-l-y.

J: Just write 3 examples each for nouns ending with -tion, -ty, -ment, -sure and -ness.
Y: Very hard leh, my brain frozen already!
J: So many, introduction, novelty, amusement, enclosure, forgiveness! See I just came up with one set for you.
Y: Still cannot leh, really can die, very hard!
J: There are 1000000 English words in the whole wide world, I'm only asking you to write 15 English words, not even asking you to write 15 Tamil words!
Y: I dunno leh, can just write 2 for each? dir-ty can or not?

J: Now give me one example of a proverb. Do you know what is a proverb?
Y: Er, I'm not quite sure.
J: A proverb is a wise saying. So can write down one now?
Y: But my example is a bit long. I say it out can. My officer is as wise as an eagle because he is able to spot the enemy and strike them down before they attack us.
J: Mister, owls are the wise ones can, not eagles. And what does this have to do with a proverb?
Y: Because I thought you say proverb is describing about someone being wise?

J: Ok now I give you examples of a proverb. Rome was not built in one day. Walls have ears. Don't put the cart before the horse. Don't put all your eggs in one basket. Don't wear such a big hat if you don't have such a big head. Understand what is the meaning of proverb already?
Y: Er, don't eat too much if you don't have such a big stomach?
J: Where did you get that from?
Y: I think myself from my brain eh.

J: Proverbs are wise sayings that have been passed down for generations leh. How can you just think of one from your brain!!??
Y: Don't wear big shoes if you don't have big feet?
J: Stop the nonsense. I want wise sayings, WISE SAYINGS!
Y: ok ok let me think.
*thinks for very, very, very long*
Y: be as holy as the bible?
J: *absolutely stunned*
