I met with Nadine, and she brought me a common drink from her culture, which is the millet flour drink she wrote about in her previous essay! It tasted like thicker grapefruit juice, a bit pulpy, which I'm assuming is because of the flour. It was quite tasty! Next time, I will bring some snacks for us to share!
As for the homework I assigned the last time, she wrote about wanting to erect a statue of Thomas Sankara, a politician who was seen as the late father of Burkina Faso. She wrote 4 paragraphs again, and her body paragraphs included Sankara's famous quotes to back up her opinions, which I found very nice! Her spelling mistakes were very minor, a few being a hybrid of the French and English word. Her grammar is improving! She fixed all the plural endings with the countable nouns from last time. Her vocabulary is expanding too, for she uses more complicated or less used words such as "appeal" instead of "ask" or "convince". I'm glad that she is pushing herself!
We spent most of the time going over the essay, as well as reworking the conclusion, which was too short. The last 15 minutes we made small talk, because I could tell she was tired. It was good speaking practice for her.
