I tutored Yahiyah on Monday at 12:00 P. M. I mostly helped in reading comprehension. I helped him in an assignment where we picked out the most key crucial parts in each paragraph and paraphrased into one sentence. Often times I would let Yahiyah read the paragraph. We would then discuss each word in detail. In one instance we came across words such as “whimsical” and other phrases that were confusing even to an American like “People fumed over electricity.” I told Yahiyah that sometimes you read words in a paragraph that are there but have no meaning. The words are there just to make the sentence look pretty. You can usually disregard these words and still get the meaning of the paragraph most of the time. Puns are often used in sentences.
