Sooo, you were not scolded for nothing.
The old lady feels you should be thankful for school. Here in
Singapore we take schooling for granted. In other countries
education is taken seriously by the students themselves. It can be
seen in the difference from the products of our state of the
art schools (our students), and the wooden shack schools of
villages of third world countries, who are now here as foreign
talents.
Its not what you talk about that dis her off, it your over all
tone (negative, loud), body language (cough! cough! sound of
phlegm), behaviour (bottoms up water bottle). Singaporeans talk
loudly too, oblivious of others around them, and this is just as
annoying as foreigners talking loudly. We can see others'
flaws, but not our own.
By telling you off, the old lady is honest. Those who see a flaw
and keep quiet are not being honest. Granted that the old lady
is not courteous herself in doing so
so u means that having sore throat cannot talk in public cause
of the so call body language?
