My Seventh Lesson With Lloyd
Last night I had my lesson with Lloyd. He was always helpful like always, and offered to start the session earlier than scheduled. as much as he could. So I think that he loves teaching English and that he enjoys it. I can really feel it, really! I learned a new useful phrase named 'speech crutch.' Speech crutch phrases help you organize your sentence and give you time to think when you need to pause.
Probably the most used speech crutch is 'You know', or 'well' especially for in Chinese. My crutch word is, 'right' which I don't know why, but I use this word very often. Well, I use 'You know' and 'Well'' sometimes too. I introduced Chinese 'hotpot' to Lloyd and made him hungry. We had a good conversation and I learned a lot about his life. I was kinda of surprised to learn that he didn't speak good Philippines even though H he was is a Filipino.Philippine! He lived was raised in Canada with his family in during his childhood so H he is actually a native English speaker living in Philippine.
Good writing! Keep it up & keep writing!
