Sean TS #9

                Since my time with the Korean girls was very limited as their parents were leaving, I had to neglect my adult tuttee, Dorothy. Dorothy is a Chinese student who is very advanced in her English capabilities. She is pursuing a master’s degree in communications. The first time I met with Dorothy I took her to Tijuana Flats after she told me she liked spicy food and I guessed correctly that she was from Szechuan province. Tijuana Flats is the Mexican food version of Firehouse Subs in that they both allow unlimited access to their varied hot sauces that will satisfy even the most spice adventurists. We shared our backgrounds and talked about Chinese culture. We also discussed where she’s at right now and what she really needs help in. We settled on writing. Dorothy explains how she needs to be able to type both with more power, and correctly.  She can speak very proficiently and I’m sure she can communicate with anyone in an able manner. Her skills in English contest that of my own mother’s even, of who has been using English for almost 30 years! Especially with the upcoming TOEFL exams and research paper’s Dorothy needs help with, I am going to commit a good amount of time with her, especially with the knowledge of how important and pivotal passing this exam is.
