Today
I had a tutoring partner session with Mr. Seo on Tuesday, August 20th. We met up at Books A Million in
the afternoon. Of course the August heat was unbearable. We talked about how to
use the phrases "kinds of" and "kind of". To differentiate
the two phrases I made two diagrams. One was titled "KINDS OF citrus
fruit", and under the title I wrote "oranges, lemons, limes, and
grapefruit". The second was titled "KIND OF like cake" and
underneath it, I wrote "cheesecake, tiramisu, and key-lime pie".
Obviously, these weren't the best examples to use but I think I got the point
across. One phrase refers to different things that belong to one category,
while the other refers to different things that We also discussed the most
popular undergraduate majors in the United States, and a typical school day for
an educator in Korea. I think I was accurate when I listed psychology,
business, education, and English as the most common majors in the US. I then
wrote for Mr. Seo, a sentence using that information: “The most popular majors
among young university students in the USA are psychology, business
administration, education and English.” From that discussion, we moved to the topic of
teachers with a second job in the US. He said that he saw one of his children's
teachers working at Publix on the weekend and he was very surprised! I know
it's not a very common thing for a teacher to have a second job, but it's not
exactly weird (in my opinion). After that, Mr. Seo had to leave to pick
up his babies from their second day of school and I stayed inside the store to
continue my peaceful birthday.
