Am fost profesoară de matematică aproape toată viaţa şi, dacă le dădeam elevilor mei 12 probleme de rezolvat – asemenea celor 12 vizite pe care doamna comisar le-a efectuat la exploataţiile din Brazilia – iar aceştia rezolvau corect numai şase dintre ele, atunci nu le notam lucrarea de control cu calificativul „satisfăcător ”.
I was a maths teacher for most of my life, and if I gave my students 12 problems to solve – like the 12 visits that the Commissioner had to establishments in Brazil – and they only solved six of them correctly, I would not stamp ‘ satisfactory ’ on their exam paper.
