Lila Mandela TP#3

Right after conversing with Bruna and Ricardo, I took the bus to the library for my tutoring session with Tagyoung.  She had just returned from Korea and had a lot to tell me about her trip. She and her family had cooked traditional foods like gyeranmari and kimbap. I was really impressed by the pictures that she showed me of her food. After chatting, she read Holes to me and after she finished her passage, I would go over any of the words she mispronounced, or If there was a word she came across that she didn’t understand, I would define it for her and give an example sentence and possibly an illustration if the vocabulary term called for it. I always enjoy working with Tagyoung because she’s a bright and smart little girl. I think that sometimes she has grammar issues in her conversational English, but I think that when she returns to school, her English will be more polished. Hopefully I’ll be able to work with her and her family during the fall semester.
