Some Good News
I just found out that my friend Effy received high marks on her IELTS Exam. She and I spent 2 hours each week for 3 weeks working to help her prepare for this important exam. It is one of the exams that students here take to demonstrate their English proficiency ( or lack thereof. Ha! Ha!).
This will be a busy day as I am giving Final Exams until 4 and then a friend of mine is going to help me find some things I need to finish my “surprises” for Micki’s Christmas and Birthday gifts. I have been here for about 18 months and still run into difficulties at times knowing where to go to buy certain items. In this case, it is wrapping paper and bows.
After that, I will go to dinner with my regular Friday Night Men’s Group (Me, Joe from Canada, and “Nothing,” “Webb,” “Simon,” and “Jack” who are my really good Chinese buddies). After dinner, we will head to our weekly English Corner gathering at a quiet pub here on campus. An English Corner is simp;ly a gathering of people having conversation in English. It is a chance for students to improve their English by having the opportunity to talk with native speakers. It really has become an enjoyable time for me with the people who have become my good friends here. I will never forget these wonderful times together with this wonderful group.
