    Is this supposed to be irony? Like how Korean students are unimaginative?

    No active link. So they didn't say anything funny? That's sad.

    At my hagwon, another teacher's student wrote an essay about this mythical giant who drank spoiled milk and then covered the land in his diarrhea. The rest of the staff was horrified; I thought it was hilarious and very creative.

    One of my Chilean university students submitted this last year. The assignment was to imagine you're an advice columnist.

    That was a girl writing this, believe it or not.

    I don't get it either, but here are some of my evergreens (and no, I'm not worried about privacy, because I'm not identifying them, it's been a very long time, this is very far removed from them, and I know each of them would not mind):

    So that would be funny if it weren't clearly an English translation of a paper in some other language.
