Today’s challenge is a little different: I want you to tell me a joke!
This will also help you get ready for tomorrow’s live class with me, where we’re going to use jokes in English to work on vocabulary, comprehension, and fluency in a fun way.
The joke I shared in today’s challenge was:
Why was the picture sent to jail?
Because it was framed.
😂😂😂😂
The joke is funny because “frame” has two meanings. A frame is what you put around a picture, but to frame someone also means to falsely make someone look guilty of a crime. So… the picture was literally framed AND supposedly framed for a crime. 😅
For your challenge, you have a few options:
🎥 Record a video telling the joke and explaining why it’s funny.
OR
Record a video telling the joke and explain the joke in writing.
Make sure you check the script attached to this post for some ideas of what you can say.
I also included some recommendations for places where you can find more jokes in English, including Google, YouTube, and even AI tools like ChatGPT and Gemini. You can use the prompt from the challenge to find jokes that are short and easy to understand.
And remember: don’t worry about finding the “perfect” joke. The goal is to practice your English, have fun, and challenge yourself to explain something in English.
I can’t wait to see all your jokes!
And I can’t wait to see you all tomorrow for our live session!
