After a couple of months in language school, there's still something i can't get used to.It's the marking system. A wrong answer gets a cross (X). Fair enough, everyone knows that. A right answer however, receives a circle (O), not a nice simple tick but a circle that engulfs the whole page. It looks like you messed up your entire homework.
You can imagine my horror when the sensei (teacher) comes over and scrawls an enormously big circle across my japanese homework. I was like, "hah? wrong meh?". Don't they know that the typical singaporean religiously guard their homework from any intruding marks? The page has to be sparking clean from any form of red ink... Why can't they follow the typical Singaporean marking convention of a nice sweet little tick??? (Not those that hide in beds. You know what i mean).
