Today's Small Thought
Today, I had a meeting with my tutor. She has been my tutor for a week so far. When we were working on speaking, I noticed that she would starts talking before I complete my speech practice. It is not wrong in terms of making points before she forgets. She starts talking with examples and sentences, so I had to listen until she finished which usually takes up my chances to practice speaking. I see the same tendency in other tutors, too. Most tutors like to talk, rather than listening. I guess that's human nature. But in order to improve my English, it doesn't work well. I get a headache, and wish I can say "Be quiet, I'm not done, yet." (The change to the comma may just be a personal thing for me. I feel that while having a period or comma will mean the same thing, "Be quiet." is too forceful, while "Be quiet," will have a softer tone. If I have this correct, I think it would be like 黙れ vs 黙ってください in Japanese) ^^:
