On Wednesday I called Turki from 4:10-5:30 and I asked him how his studying for his upcoming IELTS exam was going. Turki did not continue to the next CIES session but he is preparing and studying every day for the next week and a half until he will travel to Indianapolis to take the exam. We talked about standardized testing and went over some tips that I had learned from my own experience. We talked some about life at my grandparents' farm and what breakfast looks like different places in America compared to Saudi Arabia. Turki then told me about the formatting of the exam and how he was most worried about the listening section, and I told him that while he's practicing that I would help him with any questions and encouraged him to keep working on the topics that gave him the most trouble, though his speaking was very good.
