Hi  I have a question. Can you tell me what's the difference in these two? Someone asked you some question.... when you say "I don't know" and when you say "I have no idea" It depends on what the question was and all that... I know, but... I sometimes use "I don't know" when I don't want to answer even I do know the answer. but when I say "I have no idea" I really don't know the answer. Am I right to understand like this?

Thanks Koir
How about ... "I don't have any idea" Can I think that it's the same with "I have no idea" ? Quote:

Questions about Hamburger shop! -
07-31-2011, 02:25 PM
Hi again
My students and I are going to play "Hamburger Shop" and "Cafe" ! and we have some questions. Can anyone help us? First of all, Im not sure if I can use "play" for this. We do this at our classroom, so it's not like we are going some real shop to work there or any thing like that, but we actually make some and eat! Is "Play" ok to use for this? Q1. What's the titles of the workers there? *manager *sub manager or vise manager???? *kitchen hand? or cook? *shop assistant??? (the person getting the order at the counter?) *and any other workers? Q2. How do you order drinks? (Can I have)... an orange juice small size? or is it better to say ONE orange juice to make sure the number? you don't say a (paper)cup of orange juice do you??? We are not sure about this... 2 small size orange juice? or juices? 2 orange juice small size? Can you tell us the natural way to order? Q3. About take away When I was in Australia, they say like.... "Eat here or take-away?" or "Have here or take-way?" I heard that there are other ways to ask. Can you tell us how they'd ask you in your country? Q4. some kids want to make crape. but is it crEpe? or crApe? the thin pancake ones? How can we ask the customer what they want in it? The kids want to wrap around. There will be some kind of jams... whipped cream...some fruits. So the shop assistant(??) sould say "What would you like for your crepe?" "What would you like for the toppings??" "How would you like your crepe?" "What fruit would you like for your crepe?" "Would you like some jam in your crepe?" Sorry I have too many quations!

perforning a skit? mmm I guess I didn't explain it properly. What do you call that kids play... house? home? family?...?? kids sometimes enjoy pretending to be a father,a mother and a kid or even a cat or a dog! I guess especially girls like that. they basically just "pretend" eating and all... The kids and me will do the similer things, but we actually cook and sell and eat. There are no skit. The kids learn the names and the basic expressions, but they can say whatever they want to say... mmm I don't know how to explain this.... Quote:
Magager Assitant Manager, Cook Registerperson (is it one word?) thanks Quote:
How about 1 and medium size? "ONE medium orange juice" is OK? or "A medium orange juice" better? Quote:
it's "Is that to...". Thank you. Quote:
So the person is called a customer service employee.... a long title isn't it  Quote:

We need your help! Pleeeeeeeeeez! -

Hi everyone
My students(9-11 years old Japanese kids) and me want to do some comedy skit in English for Halloween! We are going to record it to make a movie to show our families. If we can get the permission from the kids' parents, we will put it on Youtube or something to show you too! We want a lot of help from you guys to make this skit fun! Here is our idea so far: The title: The magic School Trip Played by 2 boys and 4 girls and me (teacher). 1 black cat (can talk) 1 Magic School teacher 3 magic School students 2 boys: human boys <We want to make the sentences as simple as possible, cos the kids haven't learned the complicated grammar yet.> narrator: Once upon a time in Jangland. There was a secret school. It was called "XXX Girl's Magic School". There were 3 students there. Their names were Ainahna,Sakurahra and Yunahna. They were very <cheeky(?) naughty(?) I don't know the best adjective for this... the students are chatting too much, trying not very hard to be a good witch... cheeky and naughty could be different meanings right? give me the best word pleeeeeeeeez"> And there was a black cat calld "Jiji". Thier teacher's name was Ms. xxxxxx<very very long name the kids are going to make it up>. She was 1001 years old. Noone knew about this school before. This is a secret story between you and us. Don't tell anyone...... OK? ------------------------ Ms.: Be quiet, girls! Sit down! Listen to me! Oh dear dear... Good evening everyone. Evr:Good evening Ms.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Ms: This evening, we are going to learn how to make things disappear. Do you have every materials I told you last week ready? Evr: (yes)(...no).(yes...) Ms.: Let's see.... Do you have 3 very very short pencils? Yuna: Yes, I do, Ms.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Saku:Yes, I do, Ms xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Aina: Yes, I do. Ms xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Ms: Good. Do you have 2 broken balloons? Yuna: Yes, I do. Ms. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Saku: Yes, I do Ms.xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx. Aina: No, I don't, Ms. xxxxxx...... Ms: Whaaaaaaaaaat? (very crossed) <The kids already drew a picture of me very very mad face, looks like a monster, so we show the pic on the screen> ...After, the story is going to be like... The girls practices the magic to make some things disapear. A few weeks later, the kids and the teacher go on a school trip to the human world in the USA. The girls were very excited. We fly down with the brooms <or something else? any good idea?> --------------- The boys were walking and chatting on the way back from school. Rei:Hey Yuz,Do you wanna play soccer? Yuz:Yes! Do you have a soccer ball, Rei? Rei:Yes, I do! Here you are (he took a ball from his backpack) They start playing, laughing... (Here come the naughty half witch girls) They were floating in the air above, looking at the boys. The teacher told them that she has to go and see her witch friends living in the usa, so she let the students go and have a look around the world by themselves for 1 hour. ----------- The girls were chatting each other and one of them said. I have a good idea! Let's practice the magic we learnt at school. then they made the boys' soccer ball disappeared! -------- the boys got confused... but the boy made another ball (balled up the paper of their school notebooks) to keep playing... blk cat: That's enough girls.Give them the soccer ball back. but the girls took the paper ball away too! blk cat:hey, that's enough girls! One of the girls took the boys glasses away too! (very bad girls!) blk cat: Hey, hey! Enough is enough! the girls: Nah nanana na nah nanana.(how do you spell this "nahnana" stuff?) actually "Nananana" is a spell to make things upside down! so they made the boys and themselves upside down! so the girls were falling down on the earth (but it's the earth is upside down anyway.... mmm it's a bit complicated situation) Evr:"ouch!" <what they can do now!?> One of the girls remembered how to unspell. "It's a human's smile! (or laugh), we have to make the boys smile/laugh" so the girls try to talk to the boys to get their smile or laugh.... somehow, they did and everything were back in nomal. they were really sorry what they did and appreciated the boys. then the teacher came back. "Hello girls. Did you have a good time? Did you learn something new?" "Oh yes we did!" all the girls said. They flew back to the magic school. They leaned how poweful the smiles were. ....... something like that  Pleeeeeeez give us your idea or corrections we ll really appreciate it.

It's kind of late, but please let me know if you'd still like corrections. It would take some time and a lot of space, so I don't want to do it if you won't read it.
I also want to say that for the question about "playing hamburger shop," "play" is fine for this use. Also, the person who works at the register is called a "cashier." And where I live on the East Coast of America, people say "Is that for here or to go?" and if you take it "to go" it's called "take-out."
