ET: The student I saw today came in straight away and said his one point, not just from his last lesson but from the last time I saw him. Routine: The routine we did was The Meeting. My student claimed that he knew the story already so, I jumped to the questions to test him. [...]
Today’s first high level student came in all excited because she had a very interesting recent news article that she wanted to discuss. After reviewing the ET: I am sick of (a) because (b), her example being; “I am sick of gossips because I am not interested in their private lives,” we moved onto the [...]
