※ 引述《cathycc (te quiero)》之铭言：
: My elder sister wanna learn english.
: She's looikng for a teacher in the net.
: Finally, she found a male teacher
: He said he was graduated from a national university in Taichung.
: My sister asked him about his pronunciation.
: Take a guess!
: "I study ESL abroad, OK?"said he.
: ---> I think this sentence means "dont ask me that stupid question!"
: My sister aske him again about the fee for an hour.
: He said: $1200 per hour, but for you, just only $600 per hour.
: I really dont understand what he thinks.
: Can I say WHAT A SHAME...??
Is your "Ask" rhetorical? because you seem to already know the answer...
Also, to share my experience, "take a guess" isn't the best phrase to use
in your context... I would say "guess what" (whether it's followed by a period
or comma or question mark or exclamation point doesn't really matter)
