Lesson: Those Little Things

This is going to be a lesson in which you can get it all off your chest. Think about all of those little things that get your goat. Please make a list, check it twice and get ready to rant. I know you probably think that nothing bothers you, right? If you tell me that, you’re lying to me and remember, I can tell when you’re lying. What are your pet peeves? The little things that annoy you daily. Perhaps your coworker’s perfume is too strong, the boss tells stupid jokes, or you hate it when scooters pass you at a stoplight and go to the front of the line. That last one’s the little thing that annoys the heck out of me. Anyways, peruse the articles and think about what gets your goat.

Each conversation topic is based on a theme. In order to help students acquire a basic understanding of that topic, four media articles are provided for them to read. I will never test you on the articles, but I strongly suggest you book lessons far enough in advance to give yourself enough time to properly prepare. The better prepared you are, the more benefit you will receive from our conversations.
