Say What?!?

A new class opened up a few weeks ago, and one of my new students submitted her first essay last Thursday. She had put a lot of effort into it but, unfortunately, it was so full of archaïc translations and run-un sentences that, in the end, I couldn't understand anything. Trust me, it wasn't for lack of trying. We went over her text together, and I gave her tips to keep her prose accessible to the common reader.

This week, the students were asked to discuss the reasons why people attend college or university. This is what she submitted.

My favorite parts are the following:

-"My mom and her friends say my sexual performance is compared with their friends. For these reasons motivated only want to boast too much because of the size of undergraduate education of their children seem to be trying to do."

-"Also fail because the ones through the University since. It's a lot of people fail to succeed, most often, people who have scoliosis."

Babelfish be damned.
