A student who had discontinued his lessons for a few years because of a very busy schedule (refresher professional exams, second baby, house move, just to name three) has found a bit of a respite for the next three months.
He texted to say he’d like to be given some exercises in Chinese to do, so I set up a WhatsApp group-share slot for this, naming it “Chinese exercises”.
Half a day later, it occurred to me that I need to distinguish this one from two others I’ve set up, separately, for two students (for their listening comprehension), so I went in and added his name to it, so it comes out as “Chinese exercises Morley”.
As I was saving and quitting, this suddenly flashed up on my brain screen:
“Chinese exercises Morley but he’s not exercised by it.”
So true.
Haha.
My MacBook Pro dictionary says:
exercise: worry or perplex (Macdougall was greatly exercised about the exchange rate.)
