Rugby

My student did not go to the Rugby but was keen when I told him how we could see it from the top of the hill with binoculars (new word). A strange experience listening to the crowd and being told "ball in posts" but he was not able to tell me which colour team had scored. I returned home quickly to get a couple of camp chairs and popped a bag of corn"to do things properly" and we sat for the whole match like that. Funny thing was I still didn't know the score until I looked on the computer. he said it was a good experience.

Cool experience here, Nicki. I'll ask Soma about it tomorrow and get him to explain - ha ha, camp chairs and pop corn - Brilliant!!!

Actually, today I asked Soma about some pieces of paper, that were actually his, on the floor in front of his desk. He found it difficult to explain why they were there. I told him that he needs to think of the situation and try to respond more quickly. I think that he was a bit sensitive that he couldn't answer my question and so sent me an email at lunchtime to tell me that he was tired. He's a good student and tries hard, but is very grammar focused.
Cheers,

Mike
