First class through italki
I did learned staff from this session. Will is just like a very casual guy and very easy-going one. I was confused by a problem that how can scan a long article or very thick book in a short time. Will give me his advices.
First, notice important words like nouns and verbs. He set an example: The large, white, friendly dog chased the cat around the green grass. To find the context, Dog, chased,and cat are the important words.
Second, don't give too much attention to the filler words. Filler words are basically adjectives, adverbs, articles, prepositions. Another example: The friendly Chinese student named Allen spoke with his American friend Will to help him learn English. Filler words are those except Allen, learns, English.
Then, he said he is going to send me some materials after class to help me improve my scanning ability.
We were also chat some other staff like the words in the SAT test is unrecognizable by most of the American which I can't believe in the first place.
Also some slang, Hey, what's up?" "Not much. just chilling." or I'm chilling with a friend . The chilling here somehow like hanging out.
Other like some funny Internet words, goes like:"Lmfao is that da best u got? Its cwld abbr. Trust i cn get my grammar rite if needs b boi. " In fact, it means: " Haha is that the best you've got? It's called abbreviation. Trust me, I can get my grammar right if it needs to be, boy".
So anyway, this class lasts only 38mins but still great. And thank will for saying my accent sounds like a native. Waiting for the next class.

It was fun to work with you allen! just remember to only scan-read when you have to finish something very quickly.. otherwise, enjoy the books!
