One of my students wrote, "I will fishing a master future. I will die may probably. my mother get angry."

What do you think he's trying to say?

I changed it to, "I will be a fishing master in the future. I will die probably. My mother will get angry."

I don't know if that's exactly what he was trying to say, and it still sounds a bit weird, but hopefully it's along the right lines!

I really like it when my students write essays in English, but they are quite hard to correct at times. One of my favorite mistakes was, "I want to be a candy shop." Creepy and delicious!
