Let's test the students on this science question in English

Once there was a bus conductor, who was very rude to his passengers.

One day a beautiful young girl, tried to board the bus, but he didn't stop the bus.

Unfortunately the beautiful young girl came under the bus and died on the spot. Angry passengers took the conductor to the police station, who in turn took him to the court.

The judge was not at all impressed with him and gave him capital punishment.

He was taken to the electrocution chamber. The conductor was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him. But to everyone's amazement, he survived. The judge decided to set him free, and he returned to his profession.

After a few months, this time, a middle aged woman tried to board the bus but the conductor didn't stop the bus. Unfortunately, this time also, the woman came under the bus and died on the spot.

Again angry passengers took him to the police station, who in turn took him to the court. The judge took one look at the conductor and gave him capital punishment. The Bus conductor was taken to the same electrocution chamber. He was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him. This time also to everyone's amazement, he survived. The judge decided to set him free, and he returned to his profession.

A couple of months later, an elderly gentleman tried to board the bus. This time the Bus conductor, remembering his earlier experiences, stopped the bus. Unfortunately the elderly gentleman slipped and died due to his injuries. The conductor was taken to the court, to the same judge. Though he hadn't done anything wrong, but considering his past record the judge gave him capital punishment.

The Bus conductor was again taken to the same electrocution chamber. He was strapped to the chair and high voltage current was given to him.

This time he died instantly !!!!!!!!!!!

The question is why didn't he die on the first two occasions, but died instantly the third time??

Try to solve it yourselves. This is rather interesting and the answer is perfectly logical. If necessary read the puzzle once again.


think hard…

Clue: It has something to do with electricity.If you are science student, you should be able to solve the puzzle with ease.

Answer:

During the first two times, the conductor was a Bad Conductor, therefore electricity didn't pass through him. But during the third time, he was a good conductor, so electricity passed through him freely and he died !!!!!!!!

No, this is not a good example for a science question in English, and surely not the reason why our Education Ministry insists on why English would confuse most students.
