    Another school year over and time to reflect for a moment on all that budget wasted, and time and effort, and the young minds. So sad.notth

    I recall an eighth-grade multiple-choice English test I read for a local teacher many years ago. One of the questions went like this:

    1. You are at work for a retail store when a English-speaking customer walks into the store. Your greeting should be:

    A. Good morning, how can I help you?
    B. Sorry, we are closed.
    C. Good afternoon, how can I help you?
    D. Would you like to buy the extended warranty?

    There were dozens of questions on the test, and about 5 or 6 were like this. I'm beginning to build a theory that large blocks of communication are dropped between Thai senders and receivers. It happens all the time in Thai language, too. The test-maker, in this case, has a scenario built perfectly in his head. The scene takes place in the afternoon. So the answer options contain one correct choice. He simply forgot to form the question correctly. I would guess that fully 15 percent of the communications I witness between Thais, in Thai, gets fckut up in the same way. The sender assumes way too much is understood by the receiver. No questions or clarification are allowed, lest somebody get insulted. The final face-saving hurdle is a detriment to efficient communication.
