I met with Gyusang again today. We worked on another essay he had written. This is was about the differences between living in bigger cities rather in a towns or villages. They were the same mistakes that had in the first essay we graded together. I reviewed the essay first to familiarize myself the his topic and points and then we read over it together. I would stop him when sentences didn’t sound right or make sense and then I would have him try to correct it. Most of the time he could arrive at the correct answer without my help. I feel that he know his grammar, however he is unsure how to use it correctly in his writing.
Gyusang also is unsure in which perspective to write. In his essay he always included himself as the subject even though it was about people in general and he was just stating the benefits of living in a city. We discussed perspective and I advised him that it would be best for this essay if he did not include himself in it. I tried re-writing a paragraph and did really well!
