Don_M_TP #2 (Adult)

I met a level 3 tutee over lunch.  This is the only time he will allow to meet.  He speaks only Arabic and English.  His major will be Civil Engineering.  He has past the TOFEL, and he says that he wants to work on vocabulary and writing.  He speaks English fairly well having been introduced to English at age six.  But his reading is just a bit choppy, and he has gaps in his comprehension.  He is aware of the lose of meaning in translation.  For past time, he bowls, watches movies and goes to the club.  I suggested several movies to watch, because of the both the level of dialogue and English speaking foreign actors being in the cast.  I gave him a JFK speak, and I asked him to highlight the new words before our next session.  Although he says that he want to work on writing, he is nearing the end of his year here.  So he may not be open to any ambitious writing project.
