Hello all
-
I'm Evildea. Your God.
-
and today the craziest thing ever
-
happened to me and
-
I just need to tell you about it
-
So, you probably already know that
-
I have students
-
Can you see that I want
-
to tell you about this?
-
I have students
-
and they come to my house
-
and I usually teach them English
-
but some times I also, for example,
-
teach history and other interesting things
-
So, for example, I have one student
-
and she comes every Sunday with her mum
-
and they sit at the table
-
with me and we just read through the text
-
and divide it into parts
-
to understand each part of the text
-
because she doesn't understand
-
the entirety of the text that well
-
She can understand each word individually
-
but not in a great mess
-
So, she can't ...
-
I guess, understand the text in its entirety
-
So, we read the text
-
and today's text is about
-
voting in a democracy
-
So, we read it and she just couldn't
-
under the text
-
and ... I must say
-
She sat next to me and her mother next to her
-
and she just looked at her mother
-
and then looked at me and said
-
"I don't understand voting.
-
How does it work?"
-
and at first, of course, I tried
-
to clear up how it functions in government
-
but that didn't help at all
-
So, then I tried to explain
-
how it works through the school system
-
and then she started to understand it
-
a little better but not much
-
So, I decided that I needed to totally simplify
-
the subject for her and said,
-
"Imagine, that now I, you and your mum
-
we're sitting in a great big hall
-
full of people
-
and at the, I guess, stage of the hall
-
there's a uni student and he says to everyone
-
"You can, from now, eat chocolate or poo"
-
and when I say "poo", I used ...
-
I choose the English word "poo"
-
which isn't that bad of a word
-
and I said, "you can eat
-
chocolate or poo - you have two choices"
-
and she said, "Of course,
-
I don't want to eat poo
-
I would take chocolate"
-
and I said, "yes, yes! you can choose!"
-
and she said, "ok, so I want chocolate"
-
and I said, "Well, you don't only choose
-
the entire hall needs to choose"
-
and she said, "So, I would choose chocolate
-
he can have poo"
-
and I said, "No, no you need to choose together.
-
So, imagine that fifty percent of the hall
-
for example choose chocolate
-
then, that would mean that not enough people
-
choose it. So, sixty people need
-
to choose chocolate in order to get it"
-
and she said, "Ah I think I understand"
-
and I said, "ok"
-
and I grabbed three pieces of paper
-
and I said, "Ok, you need to write
-
your choice on this paper"
-
and she said, "Ok"
-
So, I gave one piece of paper to her
-
and one to her mum
-
and I said, "Ok, choose but
-
don't show me what you chose"
-
and she said, "Oh ok" and
-
she took it and very secretly
-
started writing chocolate.
-
I could see the movements of her pen
-
and he mum began writing,
-
I guess chocolate
-
and I thought, "Ok, now I want
-
to show what would happen if someone else
-
didn't choose chocolate"
-
So, I wrote "poo"
-
and I said, "Ok,
-
place your paper
-
in the middle of the table,
-
don't show us what you wrote
-
because the choices must be anonymous"
-
and she said, "Oh ok"
-
So, each placed their paper
-
into the middle of the table
-
and I moved it like this
-
and them I grabbed the first
-
and it said, "Chocolate"
-
and I said, "Ah great, so
-
we have one vote for chocolate.
-
That means that we need one more
-
to have chocolate"
-
and she said, "Oh ok, ok, ok"
-
She started to understand
-
So I gave her chocolate
-
Well no ... not real chocolate
-
I gave her the paper
-
which had chocolate written on it
-
and then I choose the second
-
and it said "poo"
-
and I said, "Uuuu one person has chosen poo
-
that isn't good"
-
and then I could see the girl
-
and she sat up straight a little in her chair
-
and I could see her eyes
-
widen a little
-
and she thought "Oh no
-
what would happen if someone choose poo again"
-
and I ... I sat there and thought
-
"This is really good"
-
and I grabbed this third piece and
-
I thought, "Ah this is the mum's paper,
-
I guess"
-
and I saw it, and I became shocked
-
because it said "poo"
-
it seemed that her mum had the same idea
-
as me and I said
-
"It says poo"
-
and the girl said, "I don't want poo
-
I don't want to eat poo"
-
and I could see that she was totally shocked
-
and I said, "No, no, no that doesn't mean
-
of course, we're not eating poo.
-
Don't think like that"
-
and her mum sat there and thought ...
-
I could see that she was thinking
-
"Oh shit, how did I do that"
-
It was the funniest thing
-
because the girl sat there
-
extremely worried and thought
-
"Do I have to eat poo"
-
and after that I decided that
-
I wouldn't run that exercise again
-
but now she understands
-
how voting works really well
-
and I just wanted to share that with you
-
