Now in Argentina, read yourself thin!

Ah, the end of term, the druggery of marking exams, the monotony broken only by these little masterpieces of exam howlers.

Question on mentors, someone you would ask for advice:
"My Daddy always gave me good advice. Always. Like if you have to kill someone, kill them."

Analysis of Literature:
"Dracula was the Prince of Darkness, the master of evil. Like Osama bin Laden."

Write a letter to parents encourage them to make their children read fiction:
"Hi YOU! We know you have child! Do you want that they read again?"

But my favourite, on the persuasive writing question. This is genius:
"... But don't take my word for the benefits of reading, listening to Miranda. Miranda, 16, wrote to us from Cordoba. She said, 'Before I started reading, I was 95kg... but now, after reading fiction for only 6 months, I'm a much healthier 83kg!´

A bright future in advertising awaits that little chanta.
