Today was the first EAP reading & writing session with Graduate Diploma Economics and History students (except without the History student). The following 9 sentences summarise what we found out about each other. Are they all logical?
1. According to Azer, Tengiz is the best at maths in this room because he spent more time as an undergraduate studying maths.
2. Azer claims that he speaks the most languages in this room: four.
3. Chen believes that the strongest ‘man’ in this room might be Mark, because he is the tallest and heaviest person present.
4. After reading each student’s writing from week one, Mark concluded that Azer is the most ambitious individual on the Graduate Diploma course. He came to this conclusion because Azer’s childhood dream was to become a cosmonaut.
5. After interviewing each member of the group, Juelma concluded that the most romantic is Chen, because he likes listening to romantic songs every day, and often watches romantic films.
6. Juelma also claims that the best cook in the room is Azer because he likes cooking every day.
7. Tengiz claims that the most adventurous person in the group is Chen, because he has visited more countries than his classmates / peers.
8. According to Tengiz, the most creative person in the group is Azer. Tengiz came to this conclusion because Azer likes to experiment when cooking.
9. Mark believes that Juelma is the fittest person in the group, because she has never smoked a cigarette.
We also discussed some pattern grammar and collocations issues, including the possible differences between a strong man and a strong woman. Opinions on this are welcome...
