Hank had a fantastic NatGeo lesson tonight :-) Hank first completed the Vocabulary Focus on page 101 about Alaskan crab fishermen, and was able to get nearly all answers correct. He also really enjoyed the photos I shared with him of some Alaskan crab fishermen, and was intrigued as to why someone would ever want to do this job - but then he found out they can make nearly 175,000 RMB in just over 1 month! We then began Unit 9B, "Forests on Fire," and Hank really enjoyed the article about Smokerjumpers. Hank then ACED the reading comprehension questions after, getting them all correct! Very well done, Hank!

Hank had a brilliant NatGeo class tonight! :-) He first completed the final Vocabulary Practice of Unit 8, and then we moved on to Unit 9 about Tough Jobs. Hank read the article "Tornado Chaser" and was very fascinated by it! Hank should review these words in his free time: tornado 龙卷风 , chase 追 , potential 潜力 , debris 碎屑 . We will continue to the reading comprehension questions on page 100 in our next lesson. Thanks, Hank!

Hank had a good lesson overall tonight :-) We first actually discussed the Cambridge PET exam for the first 10-20 minutes of class, and the possibility that I may help Hank prepare for it in future lessons. Then, we completed the Vocabulary Practice on page 91 together. Exercises A and B were both fairly difficult for Hank, and he really needs to review the definitions of these words: although, soften, appropriate, primarily, reflect. See you next week, Hank!

Hank had a good NatGeo lesson overall tonight :-) Hank read "The Brothers Grimm," from Unit 8, Stories and Storytellers. Hank knew their stories Hansel and Gretel, and Little Red Riding Hood already, and he enjoyed learning the history about these 2 authors. We also briefly discussed Shakespeare, and Hank liked to see all of the book images of Shakespeare altogether. Hank then aced the reading comprehension questions on page 90! Hank should review that the 'moral' of a story is the lesson that the author is trying to teach you. Very well done, Hank!
