Jake Kile TS #4

On Saturday I met with Salem at Strozier Library from 1:00-2:15 and we introduced ourselves and learned about each other. He spoke about his goals for learning English and taking the IELTS exam and told me about his experiences so far leaving Saudi Arabia and coming to America. Salem told me that reading English was the most difficult aspect for him but his speech was impressive and there were few major errors. He told me about how he spent time in Boston and then came to Tallahassee because Florida is a good state for students who want to study aviation. We talked about some of the differences such as driving in America and Saudi Arabia and the cost of attending university and the scholarships available. I asked him questions about the end of Ramadan and Eid and he taught me a lot I didn't know.
