TS #13

I met Ahmed at Dunkin' Donuts on Tennessee Street for this tutoring session. I suggested where to meet. I actually really hate Dunkin' Donuts, but I wanted to introduce it to Ahmed, for he had never been before. I explained to him why I didn't like it, which is because it is one of the overwhelmingly prominent corporate food chains throughout the United States. I explained to him a little about the perspective against these unhealthy and unoriginal chains that exists among the U.S. population. Corporate companies are certainly, unfortunately, a big part of American culture. This was able to lead into a pretty interesting tutoring session. Ahmed is interested in working in business when he goes back to Saudi Arabia. He actually wants to learn English so that he could be a better candidate for better business jobs. Again, Ahmed wanted to focus on vocabulary, so we discussed vocabulary relating to the business realm. And, again, after we wrote some new words that he didn't know and I explained them to him, we wrote samples sentences containing those words. I later asked Ahmed to write his own sentences with some of the words, and corrected any incorrect grammar. A pretty fun lesson!
