Seemingly odd/interesting question on ESL Kids Korean test As some of you may know, I am an English teacher based in South Korea. Anyway, I was looking through some of the questions my intermediate students are going to be facing in their upcoming speaking test. One of which is:-

I work in EFL too and once made the mistake of asking a Turkish class to describe what God would look like (after listening to One of Us in class). It didnt' go down to well (and I had to smooth over the use of 'slob' too!) Hey,sounds interesting! Which city? Izmir? (I am a bit surprised about their reaction though because that old cliché image of God as an old man with a white beard, looking a bit like Santa Claus and often used in cartoons, is also pretty well known in Turkey but not used very often because fear of God is a very serious issue there.However, I wouldn´t have expected a negative reaction or any kind of tension in the classroom. Maybe it has to do with the AK party and how they´re emphasizing religion in daily life). "I´ve been robbed of most of my money, can I at least get a blow job?"
"A lot of men don´t like eating pussy and I have a problem with that!" Now guess where those quotes are from and you might win a coupon for some licky licky action | |

I think it had more to do with the absence of iconography in Islam and that the idea of 'picturing' God was blasphemous. We all had a good sing song after though and I told them that a 'slob' was just someone who didn't think much about his/her appearance.  My ideal of love comes from
