Starbucks (W.Tennessee St.)
I tutored Mohammad
Alrashidi for the second time this session. He is a Kuwaiti student and a
very nice person. Mohammad told me he needed help understanding the
difference between gift and loan; group names ex: car, bus, plane are all modes
of transportation; and English words which describe emotions.
First I introduced some
new words such as: loan, lend and borrow, pointing out that one person loans or
lends the money and the other borrows money. I explained that if you did not
want the money back, it would be considered a ‘gift’.
I pointed out that more
formal examples (ie: money from a government or your parents) are: financial
support / aid / help.
We talked briefly about modes of transportation and then
talked about emotions or ‘feelings’.
I played a game with Mohammad where he would write down one
word on paper and then I would write another.
This meant I could check his spelling as well. Together we came up with about 10 words.
Lastly, we covered transition phrases such as: ‘In addition,
however, nevertheless, even though’ etc.
