years, I've spent hundreds and thousands of hours reading your papers carefully and making my comments. But you need to read them. I really believe that every paper is a--
Taplow
finishes the familiar phrase with Andrew
private lesson!
Andrew
private lesson. I can help you one-to-one. But you have to read what I write.
Taplow
You alway say "Every paper a private lesson and every test a lesson!" So many lesson!
Andrew
Yes, I do repeat and repeat, don't I. But it's true. Every test is a lesson.
Taplow
No just grade.
Andrew
Not just a grade. We can all learn from our mistakes. But we have to see what they are. We have to see what we need to do instead of what we're doing. So, you've chosen good illustrations. I've written that on your paper. Typed it. So you could read it if you read it, which you don't. The organization is fairly good too. But the English needs a lot of work.
Taplow
English my weakness!
Andrew
Yes. But I really believe that we all need to focus on what we're doing right instead of what we're doing wrong. That's why I never write "You didn't..." I always write "You need to..."
Taplow
I need improve English!
Andrew
Yes. So, since every paper is a lesson, let's look a bit more closely at your English. What have you written here?
Taplow
Helen Keller when she was a baby.
Andrew
Yes. Helen Keller when she was a baby. What about her when she was a baby?
Taplow
She blind!
Andrew
Yes. You need to add that.
Taplow
I write it in next sentence.
