On Friday I decided to attend the last Friday speaking class with
Leslie's beginner students. For the first half of the class we worked on a
worksheet that provided food items and their prices. The trick though was that
your partner had the missing prices that you need and your task is to ask in
complete sentences and record the correct answers provided by your partner. The
primary objective was to test the differences in the use of cost vs. costs in
context.
I was mainly helping Saja in the reading
out loud of combinations of dollars with cents. For instance, one dollar and forty-five
cents for $1.45.She did not struggle with cost vs. costs very much, so we
focused on other issues. By the end of this session her grasp on American money
had improved immensely. She seems to be farther ahead than others in her
class with vocabulary but as for grammar, which is what we work on most.
