  17. Thur Aug 26th. 60 minutes. I was late I wrote wrong the number of the building but I finally made it and Brenda understood. We worked in her homework since she didnt do it, she mentioned that she didnt do it because of time but also because she struggled with the audio, we listened to it together and answer the questions also we talked about it so she could practice her pronunciation, we agreed on working more in vocabulary since its something she has special interest in learning about. She struggles with listening mainly because she doesnt know the meaning of some words. We will work on practice 3 and its other options next class. ahe also wants to have more conversational activities.

  21. Tue Sept 14th. 60 minutes. She didnt do her homework so we worked on it, we also worked on the phrasal verb break down from the warm ups because she wanted to learn more about them. She makes lots of phone calls she gets really distracted with them and that makes the class and her improvement more low, nice class anyways.
