Hello Josie!!
I'm Kaelyn.
We had first class yesterday night and had lots of fun!
As I have some questions and requests, I'm writing letter to you.
First of all, Yesterday, I told you I couldn't find the text book! But I Got it!
I would have looked into more delicately ;( haha
Anyway there are two books.
First one is about Type 1 questions of TOEFL and
Second one is about Type 2 questions of that.
So, i want to talk about Type 1 questions on the book today,
and tommorrow, want to talk about Type 2 questions on the book.
please, ask the questions on the books for these two days and
comment about my answer :)
And then, I have quesionts about your E-mail comments.
You sent me
Sentence Construction:
I can perform a drama.
My test was last month.
I have been to Singapore.
You went to Singapore.
Pronunciation: Expression: Vocabulary:
really =
In Sentence consturuction part,
Are thoese sentences the sentences I spoke or the correcion about what I spoke?
And
in pronunciation part, what "really=" means?
please answer to my question :)
And then
I have question about expression concering "How are you!"
When i got the question I always get to be embarrassed ;(
As I don't know the expression about answer except for
"I'm fine Thnak you How about you" "So so" "Good"
likes that... what I learn in Elementary school.
So when I'm answering like this I always wondering whether how other people who use English as their mother tongue answer about this question.
How can answer more naturally answer about this question?!
Finally,
I told you when I got the first call, there is noise on the line.
But I told wrongly.. I wanted to talk there are "pauses", so I couldn't listen to your speaking.
In fact, on the second call, there were noise.
But as I could listen what you speak except some words, I didn't say about that.
Writing is little bit long > <haha
Answer please ^^
And please ask what you can't understand about my questions due to my Poor English wring :)
Hi Kaelyn!
Now I have read your letter and understood it. First, about the sentence construction that I made in the comments, they're the sentences that you have spoken with a few grammar lapses, in which you missed to use an articles, proper construction of the sentence. Those are the correct ones now..About the word "really", you mispronounced it..so I supposed to put the proper way of pronouncing it but since I didn't have yet the time to finish all the comment box, I failed to do so.
About the greeting of "how are you?" Don't be embarrassed when I greet you once you catch the call. This is a normal situation in every conversation, that we ask our students in order to find out how or what happen to them for the day. It's an opener in every conversation. There are other things or ways of answering it such as; I'm great, not bad, nothing special, i'm not feeling well (negative), as usual, i had the great time and so on....You don't need to stick into one response just like we have learned in the school. Of course, those are appropriate responses but the bottom line of greeting is that, we want you to feel comfortable as we start the class.
About the line problem, please don't be hesitant to tell me. So that i can make some improvements or know what to do in order to satisfy your needs. So the line was choppy in my first call, that you couldn't understand me.. Anyway, thanks for your concern and we'll make up to you next time.
Well, I hope I was able to answer correctly your questions and requests..I'm always looking forward to our classes. i know that how much you wanted to learn and improve in your speaking, just focus and practice! Break a leg ^__^
