   I’ve actually had several meetings with Hanqing in past couple of days. We had lunch at a burger place called Mann’s Doghouse, mostly talking about video games and a particular game from 1992 I’ve been addicted to called Might & Magic: Worlds of Xeen (something that Hanqing thought was a little too old for his tastes). We also met in the afternoon at a Cajun restaurant along with other CIES students for dinner. A couple days later we went to Wakulla Springs along with other former and current CIES students who I got along with quite well. We took a tour of the river and swam in it afterwards. It was a pretty enjoyable afternoon and overall, my time spent with Hanqing has been a pretty fun and enlightening experience. I still plan on continuing to hang out with Hanqing during my stay here in Tallahassee.

Dojun and I had been using news articles for  many of our sessions, so I decided to change it up a bit and show a 5 minute clip of the show Friends. The clip is about a discussion between Phoebe, Joey and Rachel (titled “Joey doesn’t share food”). The speech was a bit fast, but Dojun mentioned that the subtitles helped, although we did have to pause the video often to ensure he was understanding the video. Each time I paused, I asked him to summarize what the scene showed and then asked if he had questions about vocabulary used. It was difficult to explain what clams are until I realized I could google a picture and send it to him.

Mohammad received his essay back from the instructor about the different modes of transportation he had worked on previously. Although he did not get the highest score possible, he still did well. However, the instructor made a few of the same comments throughout his paper - basically that he was not fully supporting his statements with appropriate background information. We discussed the importance of creating an outline so that it’s easier to organize ideas and then easier to write the assignment. I’m not sure that he will employ the use of outlines every time, but we did discuss the different types of outlines he can use, and then created one for the paper he had worked on. It seems his instructors also incorporate outlines for writing assignments, but he is not doing this for himself when working on homework.
