  6. October 7th. 8th session. 90 minutes. He plans to cover 2nd payment next class. 1.415 pending. He was late because of a traffic problem. I waited for him doing other things and manage to spend an hour in class. Did the "types of work" audio from L10. Hard to understand, but with a little help he got in touch with jobs and how to describe them. Next class some reinforcement can be a good idea.

  7. Oct 11th. 90 min. We did the extra activity "Describing people's personalities" and he had a quite ok performance, he was able to understand and reproduce the lines he heard, and he was taught to search on the net the words' English/English meanings...He had to listen to the exercise over and complete it on the booklet as a homework...He didn't pay 'cause he had no money, he forgot about it...And the class was given from 8:30 to 10 because I arrived late.
