I've got a lazy Senior 2 coming for Intensive. 3 hours non-stop English!
with 2 better friends, she wants to catch up... did get 20% in one test
but also passed some.
When she ran out of vocab (frequently) she'd stop, put her hands up and
say NO!. So I told her that wasn't on, use simple words, other words, talk around the gap. She started doing that. She hasn't said No for several days. Now it's a joke, I say No when she asks something.
Uni's in Beijing have a very strict anti-phone policy, maybe rang twice,
in 2 years.
