CP #1

My conversation partner is from China and her name is Wang Man, but she goes by Mandy. She is working towards becoming a better English speaker so she can get a higher TOEFL score and eventually be accepted as a double major in Chemistry and Biology at a university, whether it be at FSU or somewhere else. We met during "Tea Time" and introduced ourselves by telling each other about where we grew up and some of our interests and hobbies. She was excited about having new experiences in America and I hope to take her to some good restaurants and local venues for her to enjoy. The topic of FSU football got brought up because she said that the CIES students had a group going that Saturday and she had never been to anything like a football game before. I am a huge FSU fan, so I gave her a brief overview of what she could expect at the game and we even practiced the War Chant Chop with the music on my phone! :) She said she was excited about going and so we decided to meet up before the game to hang out and I could show her some of the pre-game activities that campus has on Saturdays. I am looking forward to getting to know her more and hopefully helping her with her English fluency.
