Having been teaching EFL for a few decades, I was surprised by a question from one of the students:
"Do you know Victor Hugo?"

I told him I did. He was a famous writer.

The student told me that he wrote a novel called "Les Miserables" He asked if I had a copy. he would like to read it.

I read the book a long time ago (when I was still in my late twenties....) You can guess my age...

The point I would like to make here is this: I am delighted to have been asked such the question. It's one of the moments when you can actually feel that what you have been trying to do means something. It's something!
