Abdul and I began by his reading 'Will there be a gold rush in China? - iPhone' from USA Today. This was about whether there would be a rush to buy the newest model of the iPhone on the day it goes on store shelves.
Abdul then told the story of his day today: I woke up around 7 o'clock; I took a shower, washed my face, brushed my teeth, and dropped off my children; I cooked lunch with my classmate; I got home maybe 12:13.
He next told the story of his day yesterday, as follows. "Yesterday was a special day. I picked up my son at 3:10. I made dinner with my family. I ate lunch. I went shopping at Wal-Mart. I went back (returned) home. I watched TV. I went to bed and I slept. I woke up today."
Last, he told the following story, this time including conjunctions and other transition words. "Yesterday was a special day because I cooked Mexican food with my classmate, and we ate with all the students and two teachers in my classes, and the program director.
I then asked Abdul to describe Iran. "Iran does not allow the United Nations to search for nuclear weapons. Iran supports Bashar al-Assad in Syria. Iran and Russia support Syria. The reason Russia supports Syria is that they sell Syria weapons. Iran sends fighters to Syria."
Last, we worked on Abdul's pronunciation.
