Funny Short Stories | Motivational Stories The child and his mother: A curious child asked his mother: “Mommy, why are some of your hairs turning grey?” The mother tried to use this occasion to teach her child: “It is because of you, dear. Every bad action of yours will turn one of my hairs grey!” The child replied innocently: “Now I know why grandmother has only grey hairs on her head.” Wrong email address: A couple going on vacation but his wife was on a business trip so he went to the destination first and his wife would meet him the next day. When he reached his hotel, he decided to send his wife a quick email. Unfortunately, when typing her address, he mistyped a letter and his note was directed instead to an elderly preacher’s wife whose husband had passed away only the day before.

Při výpadku energie použijte záložní generátor. Při výpadku fantazie udělejte totéž! – angličtina baví: Pokud vás jako lektory ke každé situaci nebo látce vždy snadno napadají přiléhavé, vtipné a neobehrané příklady, věty a otázky, bez dlouhého „ééé, tak třeba, například, no, jak bych jenom“, či z kapsy nebo kouzelného klobouku na požádání vytáhnete jakýkoli předmět nebo obrázek, tak tento článek nepotřebujete číst. Pokud to ale máte jinak nebo jen chcete do svých hodin více zapojit náhodu a spontánnost, využijte různé generátory na internetu, které vám na pár kliknutí nabídnou spoustu materiálu. V digitálním světě jsou už klasikou různé nástroje umožňující hod kostkou nebo jiný způsob výběru čísla, náhodné vyvolávání studentů (jména si samozřejmě zadáte svoje – klikněte na ozubené kolečko) nebo volba písmene, na které máte třeba vymýšlet slovíčko. Můžete si nechat nabízet různé konverzační a seznamovací otázky ne nutně spojené s konkrétní gramatikou (připadá-li vám některá z nich divná nebo nevhodná, není nic jednoduššího než kliknout na další nebo zkusit jinou stránku).
