I could not put the image in the paddlet because there were not options.

However, I took two tutorials with Arden we practiced speech and the pronunciations of past tense verbs.

We had conversations about my personal experiences and about hers.

I improved the pronunciation of past tense verbs and I improved my fluency to speak without fear.

For my tutoring with Arden, we had quite interesting conversations, we talked about music, personal tastes and our future, I was able to practice a lot in terms of the pronunciation of words and especially the use of adjectives, it was a quite interesting and fluid conversation in no way moment we ran out of ideas or without a topic, that was super incredible.

Additionally, I could not attach the image in the text but it has already been sent to the teacher's email, I still have it on my cell phone so I could show it to you tomorrow.

During the tutoring with Arden I practiced my speaking skills. We are talking about our lifes. For example, about our favorite activities, when we started to learning English and then she told us a little about her, like where she lives and why she is in Bogota. Also, she asked us some questions like who we live with and what English skills we think we need to improve. That tutoring was a good moment for sharing different things about my classmates, Arden and me. I consider that at the same time I practiced my listening skill, because while I listened her voice I easily understood everything she said, the pronunciation of words and different tenses. I adapted very easily to the conversation space and Arden was active with me and helped me correct my small mistakes throughout the conversation. It was interesting!

Teacher! I could not include photo of the tutoring because the paddlet doesn't have the option :(

In my tutoring with Arden we talked about our future goals, we talked about our musical tastes, I also learned new words, we practised the pronunciation and uses of some words.

It was a fascinating and fun experience, as it is good to talk to someone whose native language is the interest, I will continue tutoring with her, because I found it very interesting.

During my tutoring session with Arden we talked about some topics. First, we talked about what did we do on weekend, and she told me that she knew several places and she met with a friend to visit them places. Also, we talked about the education in United States and in Colombia, the grading format we have here, and the format they have in the United States. After that, we shared anecdotes and experiences of our life and it was a very good and fluent conversation.

I believe that this kind of sessions are so useful and we have to value these English spaces because in that moment I felt confident and more secure about my speaking and listening skills. Also, I like so much to talk to Arden because she has a very good acent and I think that her acent is pretty understable and I love it.

I have the photo with her but the padlet doesn´t have the option to put it.
