Day11 - The Lesson

Had an interesting session this morning because I tried a different approach to getting the students to speak. I invited them to interogate me on any issues concerning me and Singapore. This is similar to what I did on the first day. Today it worked much more beautifully because the students are much more comfortable with me now so a number of them started ask really good questions ranging from Singapore's favourite foods dishes, to my family, to the socio-economic fabric of Singapore. The bottom line is this. The students are trying their best in constructing sentences in English and speaking up. It is nice. After the break we finished In Company Chapter 8 which has a sub-section on Starbucks. That was nice because we then followed up listening to Rob and Bob podcast which has an episode on Starbucks. Nice alignment.

During the break time I helped Evelyn arrange for her chauffer service for her stay here. The driver will pick her up to and fro the hotel and the training centre every day. Eve, your vehicle number is a maroon Camry license plate 0160. Sometimes it will be a white camry (I am not sure of the license plate) .

In the afternoon, we listened to more Rob and Bob ESl podcast. This time they are talking about festivals and festivities. We also listened to a Voice of America Special English Broadcast on Women's Rights. That was kind of fun.

I went to the airport to pick up Sharon, my wife after class. Yay! She's finally here! Chivy and Mariny drove me to the airport. Sha arrived early. Yippee!!!! Sha, Mariny and Chivy hit it off right away. Chivy gave Sha a whirlwind tour of Phnom Penh and showed us her house acrossed from the Tonle Sap. We went for dinner together and Phany joined us later. Had rip-roaring night.

Tomorrow's the last day. It's kind of sad but it's time for Eve to enjoy the warm friendship and hospitality of the Cambodians!
