Can I use 當 做 and substitute "fool" with "homework" and "an opportunity to speak English"?
A Chinese girl in Taiwan has agreed to a language exchange with a foreign guy, but after a while, they both start to complain that they are losing out in the situation.
The girl gets help with her college English compositions and gets an opportunity to practice speaking English to an American.
Chinese girl: What do you take me for -- homework?
Foreign guy: What do you take me for -- an opportunity to speak English?
In both questions, it is the girl who benefits: she gets help with compositions and an opportunity to speak English. But she is disappointed because the guy does not look at her with lust in his eyes.
