ET6 hotel

Alice is a great student, but she seems to be lacking the drive she used to have a few months ago. I understand that she is a formidable English speaker, but she still needs to study and complete her class assignments with the other students. In class she should avoid speaking in Korean to really test and improve her speaking ability. This is going to be a big part of her English studies from now on, and I think she is ready to avoid speaking in Korean in class completely. Good luck, Alice!

Iris is a good reader. Her pronunciation is practiced, and she won't say a word unless she knows for sure how to pronounce it. This is good, but she can improve by speeding up her reading and speaking. Her vocabulary should be rather large by now, so I hope she tries to practice by using English in conversation with friends or her parents and teachers. Keep working, Iris!

Jinny has been very good this month. Her participation in class is astounding! I love that she is always asking questions and volunteering. Her pronunciation improves in class every day, and she is always improving her speaking skill in class talking with her teacher. Jinny is quickly improving, and she shows a lot of promise. A lovely student, thank you, Jinny!

Harry has been quiet this month, but he still participates with the rest of the class. I still want him to talk more in class so he can get help on his pronunciation. He reads well in class and understands what he reads, but his pronunciation definitely needs work. For improvement, I suggest that he reads out loud to himself or sings songs in English. Both require him to practice pronouncing English words, which is what he needs practice with. Enjoy some English christmas carols, maybe?

Jean was the top student this month for many reasons. Her work in the classroom has been admirable and both her comprehension and pronunciation are still very high. She achieved a perfect score on her speaking test, and that is a huge accomplishment. I'm sorry to see her change schools, but I know that she will rise to the challenge and enjoy success in anything she tries. Thank you for being a wonderful student, Jean!
