Some jokes show different ways in which words are used, and such jokes make it easier for learners to remember the language points. Here is an example: “Is she making him a good wife?” “Well, not exactly; but she’s making him a good husband.” In this joke, the word “make” is used in two different patterns. In the first one, “make him a good wife” means “become a good wife for him”, while in the second, “make him a good husband” means “train him so that he will become a good husband.” A good teacher always knows when to use a joke in his classroom. He may say, “That reminds of a joke/story” during his lesson and then a story follows. This will arouse the students’ interest in his class and students never fail to like such a teacher.
