Tyler CP-4

Once again my conversation partner meeting began with a compelling game of Scattergories at the CIES tea time. A CIES student whom I had never seen before was playing the game and was extremely... competitive. He made sure to challenge and check every answer. It was humorous seeing him argue with all the other players. Some of the topics that came up had to do with American culture, which gave me a good opportunity to explain a few new vocabulary words to Ahmed and help him with his pronunciation. I noticed that no matter how competitive the games get, we never announce a winner.

After we were through with Scattergories, we played a game called Taboo. In Taboo you are given a word to describe to your partners, and a list of words that you cannot use in that description. This lead to some laughs and some vocabulary building, as it is often difficult to describe the given word without the words that follow on the list. After only a few short rounds, it was time for class, and tea time was over.
