After reading chapter two, we took about 15 minutes break. We got some drinks from Starbucks; I got my favorite drink, caramel macchiato and she got a green tea frappuccino.
After the break, we went back to tutoring session and read the following chapter. I was worried that she’d get bored and lose focus since we already did almost an hour of tutoring with reading the same book. However, I thought it would be a good practice for her toefl exam which she will be taking it for several hours. This chapter was about a boys and girls, how the main character is hoping to have a best friend on her own someday. We did the same routine with this tutor session, worked on her pronunciation and make sure she comprehends the story. She knew most of vocabulary words from this chapter except couple, like an “anchor”. We again had to go back to the sentence and read them over again since it was a little difficult for her to understand. I advised her to draw pictures in her head while she is reading that way it can help her understand a little easier. For example, “the boys in their universe and we in ours”: draw the boys in different place, then draw the girls in other separate place.
I think we are going to do something other than reading a book next meeting… something more interesting and fun.
