Topic discussed: Tests
Cultural and/or linguistic topics you and your partner learned: for this conversation we mostly just talked about the test that Mutaz had to take in order to continue his schooling. He had taken the test twice before and saw about a .5 point increase in his score on a 10 point scale. He gave me some of the questions and vocabulary that were on his last test and I told him that even I would have had problems with some of them. A lot of the examples that he gave were either highly academic or formal language while others were phrases more commonly found in European English, which I think is a little unfair for a test that was given in Tampa.
