Meeting with Sarah on July 5 We talked about dinosaurs. The questions we used were from http://www.esldiscussions.com/d/dinosaurs.html. Here is a summary of what I learned: Corrections: 1.I feel inadequate/short when talking about topics I'm not familiar with. 2.young: hatch the young from eggs. Note that "young" is not a plural, so "youngs" is incorrect. 3.the whole spices: not "the whole spice". 4.morals and ethics: both seem to be countable. 5.prehistoric: not "prehistorical" (no such word). 6.die off: it is similar to "extinct". 7."the time comes to an end" vs. "our time is off": both can be used at the end of a conversation. 8.T-Rex: people usually just say T-Rex instead of Tyrannosaurus Rex. Pronunciation: 1.fossil: 'fo' as in "fault", ''ssil" as in "missile". 2.giraffe: The emphasis is on the second syllable. "gi" is close to "jer", not "gi" in "give". 3.genus: "ge" as in "genesis", not "gi". 4.meteorite: The emphasis is on the first syllable. 5.Herbivore: note the "bi" sound, not "ni". Sarah sometimes read books together with her students and they also play games (curious what kind of games).
