Demo Class Notes (Joyce – Ally)

Joyce

– Joyce studies traditional Chinese medicine. She uses English to read journals but doesn’t need it in her work right now. She has a future work opportunity to go to the US (in 3 years) so she wants to improve her English. Her general speaking ability is better than her listening, which needs lots of work.  She also needs help to think in the English logic. All daily topics are OK.
