What worked well in this class? What did not work?
As students get to know each other, this topic is good for students to know each other deeper. I am trying to help build a friendly community in Conversation Class. Since students have different dreams, our topic covers all kinds of occupations. It’s beneficial for students to expand their vocabulary.
