The lesson was on the emergency response system, colloquially known as 911. Kyung knew nothing about it, so I thought it would have been helpful for him to know. When we walked into the little cubicle in which I was waiting for him, he had told me that his wife suffered a miscarriage.
Remember: my lesson was on 911. It was very awkward after this.
Anyway, we went over a few vocabulary terms in a picture dictionary. After that, we applied those terms by having a sort of mock-911 call. Then, I took him to the computer and we performed some listening exercises about a scenario in which a man thought he was having a heart attack.
It was way too easy for Kyung, and I could tell he was a bit unchallenged. I mean, it's 911 -- it should not be that challenging. We ended the lesson after he had given me his essay on the poem I had him read. His writing is well, I think, but he needs to know the difference between indefinite and definite articles. So that's what I'll cover at our next session. There was no session last week, for I was a little overwhelmed with midterms, but I'm fine now.
Monday shall be #3. Write to you then.
P.S. Ramin -- do you want me to pick up the certificate now or wait after I'm done tutoring my sessions? I'm already finished with the requirements for the CP program, but just so you know, I am still Ruiting's conversation partner until the end of the semester.
P.S.S. I apologize for being a drunken idiot. That's something I didn't want you see, but, oh well, I guess it's already happened. :-P
