TS #11 - Brad Charlassier

For my 11th tutoring session I met with Dojun. Today we talked about the Rio Olympic games that are about to start. I started the discussion by saying how there is a lot of instability in the country because of the insanely large wealth income gap. He said he knew Brazil was a poor country but recently learned how violent it can be. I confirmed that fact and added that the Olympians do receive some sort of security provided by the organizers. I taught him the words "shady" and "sketchy" in order to help describe the less civilized, more likely to be mugged, areas of Brazil in a general sense. He asked why these people would do such violent crimes toward the people famous people of other nations and I said that it has become a thing of survival for a lot of the poor people. If they do not steal, they cannot survive. Theses people need to provide for their families and will do whatever they must to feed them. This led to a  discussion on the marriage differences between us in America and those in South Korea. One similarity that we laughed about is how the wedding is pretty much run by the woman and done how she see fit. The man cares about the ceremony. but will not step on the toes of his spouse. I explained the expression of "stepping on the toes" of somebody to Dojun.
