  5. I used similar tactics for my last ever Hindi exam. I memorised two previously prepared essays on Mahatma Gandhi and Rajiv Gandhi, and used the former. I passed comfortably. Doesn't mean I actually learnt the language, though.

  16. Didn't know she had two kids. Remember the episode where she demonstrates human distances and comfort zones, sitting down on the lap of a young man in the audience. I think pretty much everyone was thinking, what on earth is she doing? She then asked him a question and he answered, Yes, mum. Turns out it was her son strategically placed in the audience.

  19. My French oral topic was chosen by my teacher that hated me. The topic was “lost baggage by airlines”. I wish I was joking. Thankfully the exam was marked by an external examiner and not her and I got full marks complaining about the time KLM lost my bags at Schiphol

  22. My gcse Spanish 150 words was about being careful online cuz the people you meet are probably 50 year old creepy men and they might try and sell you drugs
    (Amongst other things)
    And I got a 9 lol

  24. That reminds me of the Not The Nine O’Clock News Sketch where the headmaster is questioning a pupil about a series of essays which he has written.

    Every story revolves around a “large parrot owned by my aunt who I live with.”

    “What is the South Sea Bubble…?”
    “The South Sea Bubble is a large parrot owned by my aunt who I live with…”

    Now… can anyone quote the punchline?
