Ebo Entsuah TS#9

I met with Ahmed today, and decided to go over some cultural lessons. These lessons would incorporate reading and reading comprehension but would mainly focus on the cultural differences between the United States and Saudi Arabia. For the first exercise, we read biographies and job descriptions of various workers in the United States. These jobs varied anywhere from a Teacher, a Pilot, a Vet, and even a Police Officer. Each biography contained a job description, hours, duties, and amount of schooling necessary to become that occupation. After I had him answer specific questions about each job and then tell me about either a similar job that could be found in Saudi Arabia or a completely different job. After this we went over various superstitions that could be found in various countries. It was interesting because he knew the various superstitions, but in Saudi Arabia they do not use that word. Afterwards i did some evaluation with him and found out that he wants to do more political reading. I will incorporate this into our next lesson later this week.
