Ahmed and I also met a second time this week. This session lasted two hours. For the first hour, Ahmed and I looked at sole IELTS exam materials again. He liked that I was considerate of his goals, and so I decided to utilize some practice material once more. This time, the topic of the practice reading was on Calisthenics. This was a strange and obscure topic to Ahmed, but he was intrigued by the elements of the passage. He is interested in health and exercise, and the topic covered this a lot. While he struggled with names and vocabulary used in the historic section, he was able to use top-down processing to derive their meaning. After reading, Ahmed answered the questions, occasionally needing my help. The questions on this passage were harder than the last one, so I tought him some helpful test taking techniques when approaching standardized tests.
