I was concerned about doing writing style lessons because it means the teacher talk increases and the student talk decreases, but you did something that surprised me, which was to disagree with me. It's very difficult for students to disagree, but you did it with confidence and I respect you a lot for it.

Listening to you today made me realised how much we've adapted to the cultures of our second languages. You presented yourself with a more westernised outlook on life which really suits natural spoken English. We talked about a delicate topic, but you were very open to it. It's definitely a good sign as it helps you relate to English speakers more. I hope we can keep this kind of topic going, as it's very rare to meet someone who is so comfortable with it. Well done!

We were able to reach a 60% student talk time, occasionally switching the role of teacher. An English teacher's job is to ask questions, so it's really appreciated when the student's ask questions. In order to increase the percentage of talk time, you'd need to find ways of interrupting that allows you to take the lead of the conversation. Give it a try next time!

It was lovely talking to you! I think we have a mutual respect, understanding and appreciation for each other's opinions and requirements. We were able to reach a 50/50 student and teacher talk time, which is great for the first lesson. I can definitely see potential in you reaching 60% talk time as we get to know each other, and increasing as we go along. I'm excited and looking forward to talking again!
