The following is what I've seen from the textbook for teaching English named" Oxford English":
One boy says: " That tree fell on the canteen in the storm last night."
another says:"What a pity/shame!"
My question : Is the sentence proper in such a situation? I thought only when someone feels disappointed, he or she may say: what a pity/shame. But here it is almost a disaster (a tree fell on the canteen). Doesn't it sound a little too careless?
Another question: How do students at school address their teachers? Do they say: Mr... or Ms...? Is there a time when they directly address a teacher "teacher"? What if a student does not know the teacher's name? How does he address the teacher?
Thanks for your patient replies!
