"... as silent as a graveyard," the English reader read.
"What is this?" my student asked underlining the word 'graveyard' with his finger.
I started explaining speaking clearly and carfully spacing my words: "It is a place where dead people are buried, where funerals are held when they die. Do you know the word cemetery?" And I knew he knew.
"Ah." He read the line again. "But in a graveyard..." reading the word slowly, sounding the syllables out with due care "... there is many noises and lights."
