I know right? It's bad enough when students show up like "I'm doing a report on Palahniuk... like... can you tell me about the Aristotelean Post-Deconstruction, Neo-Nazi, Impressionist Jazz-Fusion themes in Fight Club?"

Now we're being asked to help make up the homework. For shame...

I can't decided which is more worrisome. Trying to think of 10 general topics to discuss when you're teaching a specific class or coming in here and looking for us to give 10 business topics for a class you're teaching on business. Weren't they supposed to give you those things when you went to teacher school or something?

does business english look like "plzz" and "atually" or does it "atually" look like "plzz"?

My best advice would be to ask Hopi for some topics.

I learned Business English for my study. It's basically about English words/phrases/whatever you use when doing business. That's what it was at my college anyway. Tongue Had to learn translations, write business letters, blabla. It wasn't enjoyable.

I'm pretty sure "Business English" is when the guy fixes you with that fake sympathetic gaze and asks, "Where do you see yourself in five years?"

I'm thinking the original guy is also from a foreign country or something. Either that or it was some kind of spam that the mods edited before anyone saw.
