                I was working with a young man English is not his first language. He had problem expanding his thought because he has not been exposed to the idea of immigration. I believe he had problems with what’s right and what’s wrong basically what’s missing on his paper. He was able to talk about a man who is an immigrant working construction, that’s was  all and moved on to the next sentence the teacher had already told him to elaborate more on the man working construction. I was able to ask him question on what he thought about immigration had he watched movies, read history books, and watched the news. All of what I asked him is sources he can use to expand his thinking. I told him that sometimes when I write I think of words that I may have seen in a dictionary although it sound write I keep it in the essay look up the word and make it fit. I do this because I may have heard this word before or seen this in books this helps me expand my thought. I told him get familiar with words because you can shorten some of your sentence and make it fit.

                I explain to him when writing any kind of essay stay on track don’t jump right into another topic without finishing the first. Ask yourself question did I leave something unanswered. If I was the reader would I be satisfied with what I written. Never say I go there be specific and say where exactly.

                Over all his was good not so much of a hoc he just needs to be exposed to vocabulary or watching movies.
