Hello Sara! Welcome to italki!

What tv series do you enjoy watching the most?

Intro

Ciao! Mi chiamo Katrina, ho diciassette anni e sono di Barcelona. Il Mio padre e la mia madre sono originari di della Cina, ma io sono nato nata in Spagna. Mi piace la fotografia, viaggiare e la moda.
Sto imparando l'italiano perché ho troppi molti amici italiani e voglio vorrei poter parlare con loro in la nella loro sua lingua madre.

Grazie mille a tutti.

Well, welcome to Italki, Katrina!

I think this is a wonderful idea, and I would very much like to join you, but the time doesn't quite agree with me....a real shame! I can't do anything but wish you good luck with this amazing initiative.

P.S
This was your original idea, so I have to ask...I imagine there might be other people like me who can't participate because of their time zone, so I could start a new book club trying to find a time more suitable for me and hopefully for as many people who didn't have the opportunity to join you as possible. I'm not really sure I will do it yet, but if I did, would you be okay with that? I swear I don't want to copy your idea, I just really like it and I feel this is the only way I can be in a Skype book club....

Hello Lena!

I'm from Italy

Welcome to Italki!

I've taken the IELTS, so I know how difficult and expensive it is.....If you really believe there is nothing he can do to pass the exam, then tell him. Of course, I believe that part of a teacher job should be to encourage her students, but I also think that honesty always pays off at the end.
I'm not saying it's an obvious choice. Clearly, he could get mad at you for being too blunt and he could even cancel your lessons, so not lying to him might possibly be bad for you. You should try and consider these tree scenarios, though:
1. If he doesn't pass the exam, he would be prepared for it. It would still taste bitter, I suppose, but not as much as If he had no idea that his English level was really insufficient for the test.
2. He might just decide to prove you wrong and try his very best to prepare himself. Sometimes pride is a very strong motivator, believe me.....There could be a chance, even if a small one, that he could succeed. All is well what ends well, no?
3. He could listen to you and postpone the IELTS. With you teaching him for a longer time, I have no doubts in mind he will pass. Now, whenever someone asks him a name of a good English teacher, your name will be remembered not as the kind, supporting one that made him fail, but as the blunt one that made him excel.

In the end, though, it's your choice, really. I hope this was helpful
