Tyler-CP3

I arrived at the CIES for tea time, only to find my partner engaged in a game of scattergories. I partnered up with him and we faced off several other groups that were playing. The game got pretty intense, and it always seemed that the worst letter was picked with each category card. My partners vocabulary was surprisingly good, even though he spelled most things wrong. I corrected his spelling and pronunciation on several words, while making note of his strengths and weaknesses. After the game was over we had a few minutes to talk before class began, and we discussed what he was doing in his classes. It seems he is still ahead (like most middle eastern students) in speaking, but has difficulty with reading and pronunciation. We discussed this and I offered to help him, and possibly review for the TOEFL.
