TS #15+16

Date: Dec 12th (12:00pm-2:00pm)
Location: CIES Lobby

Today I met with Yunjia and we reviewed idioms by watching beginner level videos on youtube and completing questions together.

Critical incident

Yunjia told me she went to the super market once and only bought $15 because in China the price listed is the total price. This is different in the U.S. because we don't include taxes on listed prices.
She had to put an item back in order to pay for her groceries. She was confused and the clerk explained the situation to her.
