Don't open your book!

Had another really INTERESTING Critical Thinking and Writing class today!

My tutor was telling us about different types of claims like factual, value and policy claims. Liyang and Victor who were sitting next to me were busy copying all these different types of claims that he mentioned and I suddenly realised that all these are actually in our booklet. So I opened my book to find the pages with all the 'claims, reason, issue and etc'. Being such a busybody, I then tapped Liyang to show him that it's inside. After that I turn to the other side and did the same thing to Victor.

I think I didn't even manage to tell Victor what I wanted to tell before my tutor started saying, 'Zhi Xin, if I want you to open the book, I will tell you. And when you were busy talking to Liyang, you did not answer my question.'

I have not been scolded by a teacher in class for like years. I was kinda embarrassed but felt a little bit funny also. It was like teacher catching some primary school kids for talking in class.

I apologised and he went on to ask, 'so, tell me who likes policy claims.'
'Politician?'
'Why?'
Then I started bluffing about something and he kept on asking 'and then?' and 'and then?' until I think he was happy. Haha...but luckily I my answers did make sense to some extent (I think).

So basically this is what happened during today's class. Oh, now I know how it feels like when being scolded by  teacher when you are 20.
