Kim and I have continued to meet at the library twice a week. She is so talkative and comes with her homework every meeting and ready to explain and discuss her VOA articles. On the sixth she told me about her and her husbands relationship and we listened to an online conversation and discussed her article.
The sixth I am sad to say was a day almost entirely devoted to discussing Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's relationship and finding out whether or not they are married (they are not). We read and discussed different articles on the couples personal goings on and finally ended up watching a video of Tom Cruise jumping up and down on Oprah's couch. We did read and talk a lot and did some listening exercises but... it was mostly looking at Entertainment tonight's gossip column.
On the 9th, she and I looked over her homework and then spent time on a VOA broadcast featuring the word break. We would listen and then listen again and then listen a third time after going over some comprehensive questions and reviewing/ discussing the different words. We then looked for a book to read together. She didn't want to read even a simpler book if it looked too thick so she picked out Call of the Wild , a book she was already familiar with from school in Korea, but she chose a level four English version. I said I would read along in the normal version. For the next lesson I will have a printed out copy of chapter one and will read excerpts in the regular English and go over vocab.
