Once Upon a Time in an English Extra Class

An extra class is about to begin. There is commotion in the class.


Student 6: This is not fair.
Student 2: Why is she taking the games period?
Student 7: [frustrated] | know, I have been sitting here for the past 5 periods.
Student 4: I just came to the school only for the games period. I wanted to play games in the games period.
The teacher enters and the students settle down.
Students: [despondently] Good afternoon, Ma'am.
Teacher: Why am I on the receiving end of such a lethargic greeting? You all should be excited! You’re having an extra
English class. Anyway, settle down.
The teacher puts a pile of notebooks on the table.
Teacher: Children, you will have your UT 2 shortly.
Student 7: What yaar, I wanted to play games.
Student 4: But Ma’am, I wanted to say goodbye to my football!
Teacher: Do you want to say goodbye to good grades too?
Students: No Ma’am.
Teacher: Therefore, I have decided to conduct this extra class. In this extra class, we will be clearing all doubts related
to your syllabus, whether its grammar, literature or writing skill. So, let’s begin. Any doubts?
Student 1: Excuse me ma'am, I would like to ask a doubt.
Teacher: Yes, what is it?
STUDENT 1 ; maam it is regarding writing skills , maam we had done formal letter yesterday , so in a formal letter we
have sender's address, then we have the date and then we have the reciever's address.
Teacher: Yes, that is absolutely correct.
Student 1: but ma'am we have receiver's address inside the letter. Why? How is it reaching ?
Teacher: Because, we write the receiver’s address on the envelope too. That is how it reaches.
Teacher: Uhhhhhh, yes you are raising your hand, tell me your doubt.
Student 2: Ma'am, what do we understand by the phrase, small talk?
Teacher: it is just another word for'polite conversation like, hello,how are you?
The weather is good,etc.
Student 2: Okay ma'am, so if this is small talk then what is big talk?
Teacher: Uhhhh [notices two students talking]. There, stop chit-chatting.
Student 3: Excuse me, Ma'am
Teacher: Yes?
Student 3: Ma'am, you used the phrase - chit-chat.
Teacher: Yes,so?
Student 3: But we always have a chat, we never have a chit?
Teacher: Ahhh, I remember catching you with a chit. And then,we had a chat, i with your father,showing that chit. So
I know, that you know, that there always,a chat,with a chit. Doubt cleared?
Student 3: Yes ma'am.
Student 4: Ma'am is so ruthless.
Student 5: Ma'am, people can be ruthless but why is no one ever ruth
Student 4: Just as you can be either overwhelmed or underwhelmed but you can never be,whelmed.
Teacher: Stop with this exasperating farrago or I'll defenestrate you !
All look at each other confused and everyone went silent
Student 6: Excuse me, Ma'am?
Teacher: Yes?
Student 6: 1 have a doubt related to literature.
Teacher: What is it?
Student 6: We have this play, Julius Ceasar in our syllabus.
Teacher: Yes?
Student 6: Ma'am I was just wondering that throughout the play, Julius Ceasar speaks in English. But when he is
stabbed and is about to die, he suddenly starts speaking Latin, "Et tu Brute?' What was Shakespeare trying to
convey?
Teacher: Hmmmm
Student 7: Maybe he wanted to show his character dying in a dead language.

Imagine if Julius Ceasar would have died in India then Shakespeare would have made him say "Ahhh!!! Aham
gachhami."
Student 7: Ma'am since we are talking about Shakespeare. I had a doubt regarding the play Romeo and Juliet.
Teacher: Yes? Please ask.
Student 7: Romeo dies because he thought Juliet is dead and Juliet died because she thought Romeo is dead . I mean
talk about lack of communication . don’t u think maam instead of calling it a romantic tragedy it should be called
“communication breakdown
Teacher: [Starts laughing] you see he didn't know that she didn't know that he wont know that she was not dead.
Clear?
Students murmur in confusion, chatter increases
Teacher: Silence, silence! Is this a classroom or a fish market?
Everyone quiets down.
Teacher: Now, before I forget. To help you practice for your essay writing, you all will have to submit a 1000-word
essay by Monday.
Students groan
Teacher: And it should be completely original. Even the slightest hint of plagiarism, and extra class every day of the
next week!
Student: Ma’am really is merciless. Shakespear would’ve been better off writing a tragedy about her!
Student: More like a horror story.
Teacher: Any more doubts?
Student 9: Yes ma'am, I had a doubt related to grammar.
Teacher: what is it?
Student 9: 1 was discussing with him which sentence is grammatically correct - You is sleep or You can sleep?
Teacher: You can sleep.
Student 9: Bazinga!
Everyone puts their head down
Teacher looks at audience helplessly and the bell rings
