Ahmed and I met twice this week. The first time, I decided to use at some IELTS reading material, since Ahmed told me in the past he wants to take the IELTS in the future. So, I had Ahmed read one of the practice reading exercises, and answer the questions at the end. The topic of the reading was "what to do if your car gets stolen". It provided very interesting real world knowledge about how to respond to a costly situation. He read the article using a top down method, and was able to understand the meaning of high level vocabulary using context. Following this, he answered the questions, sometimes needing some assistance. However, he did well at comprehending the passage. After this activity, I ended the session with some entertaining dialogue readings from two of my favorite movies: the Lord of the Rings, and 2001: A Space Odyssey. I chose two scenes that head some very powerful and influential dialogue. This was a fun and engaging activity that brought a bit of culture as well.
