TS#9 Turki

I met with Turki at the Starbucks behind CIES. We made a Venn diagram so that he could compare and contrast two arguments, since Turki had to get ready for a debate in class where he was arguing that exercise in school was a positive thing, while his opponent had to argue the opposite. We talked about how he should have a list of main points and he came up with a couple of points, such as exercise fighting depression and obesity. After the Venn diagram I helped Turki study for a vocabulary quiz, by giving him fill in the blank vocabulary quizzes that I had made myself with the words he was currently studying. Unfortunately I was only able to meet with Turki right after his CIES classes, and he was very tired. I have also rarely been able to get a hold of Turki for tutoring up until now, so he was still overly worried about pleasing me with high marks on anything that I asked him to do, and was embarrassed when he had trouble with the vocabulary quiz I had made for him. Hopefully this will fade in the next two weeks the way it did with Anka and Sultan.
