Tutoring Session #16
Tutee: Soojin
8/21/20
For our final tutoring, we started by watching a Ted talk video about the future of species/life on earth. It was very interesting. Afterwards, we discussed the video and talked about climate change for a little bit. We went over some more slang and idioms, and then I asked Soojin what shocked her when she came to America and what she didn't expect. She said that she was shocked that when someone is hosting a party, they sometimes expect the guests to bring their own alcohol/food, and then afterwards the guests take their food home! She said that in Korea, usually you don't take the food that you brought home because it is considered a gift for the host. She also talked about how the portion sizes in America were so big. She visited a Korean market in Orlando, and even there the portion sizes were huge. She then taught me some funny Korean idioms and I noticed that many of them were fairly similar to English ones! At the end of the session, I told her that if she needed any help with her English in the future to just let me know. Overall, I think that Soojin improved a lot in her speaking skills and learned a lot of new advanced vocabulary.
