Conversation Partner #6

Today, I met with Tracy for the last time. Looking back on our time together over the past semester, she's grown leaps and bounds with her knowledge of the English language and he confidence speaking it. When we couldn't figure out a word, she would look it up and we would pronounce it together until she got it just right, and most of the time, she got it on the first try.  Her sister wasn't able to make it to the last meeting, but it was nice to have very quick exchanges with Tracy on her own. She told me that there was a possibility she was going to transfer to the second half of the IES program to a school in New York. She didn't like the idea of being at TCU when school was out into the summer, because she thought the town would be empty and the stores would be closed, which I denied. I totally understood her and her sister's reasoning for wanting to transfer. They wanted to be in a city where they could take the subway places and explore the city. I'm truly appreciative that I had the opportunity to meet Tracy and her sister this semester and learn about their experience in a whole new place while comparing it back to their home in Taiwan.
