Demo Class Notes (Diya – Jesse)
Diya
– preparing for IELTS, early May, grammar may need to be focused on, speaks quite fast especially when nervous, also wants regular classes to improve general English, IELTS before: 6.5 speaking, 6 writing, 6.5 listening, reading 6-6.5. Her current issues are grammar in speaking, using simple vocabulary when more advanced words would be more suitable, and some other chinglish habits. IELTS is the priority for now but after 1 month general English improvement. In class: review IELTS writing, IELTS speaking practice, grammar correction and vocabulary upgrade. HW: IELTS writing – focus on sentence structure variety and vocabulary flexibility.
