The longest word in English
Today the students have the last lesson before the holidays. They are very happy. Their English teacher is very happy, too. Their teacher plays some nice games with them. He sings some nice songs with them, and then he goes to the blackboard and writes SMILES on it. “This is one of the longest words in English,” he says to the class. All the students laugh, and then one girl stands up and says, “Why is it one of the longest words in English?” The teacher says nothing for a few seconds. Then he smiles and says. “Because there is a mile between the first letter and the last.”
