As you know, I am an English teacher, so I teach students all the time. And most of my students are teenagers and adults. But last time, which was about 2 months ago, I had to teach a lady who is 82 years old, and it was quite a memorable experience. When I was first asked to teach her, I didn’t know what to expect, and was a little hesitant because it is a common stereotype that old people can’t learn anything. But then I was informed that her English was OK, so I said to myself, don’t judge a book by its cover, give it a shot. On that day, I walked into the classroom, and she was sitting there smiling at me. I was a little nervous in the beginning, because I felt a little uncomfortable teaching someone who is much older than me, it is disrespectful in a way, I think.
