Kane CP#2

My second conversation partner is Ali. Ali is a 23 year old from Yemen. He is also attending CIES in order to pass to the TOEFL to get into a university. Ali is a level 1-2 student at CIES and struggles with vocabulary(who doesn’t?). For this meeting we met in the CIES courtyard because it was a beautiful day. The first thing we talked about was soccer or futbal, Ali is a big fan of Juventus, an Italian club team. It was hard to get Ali to talk because he is not confident in his speaking abilities and gets embarrassed easily. About half way through out meeting Ali’s friends Thamer and Faisal joined in on our conversation. Thamer is from Kuwait and Faisal is from Saudi Arabia. The three of them did not know each other but all speak Arabic so they became friends quick. With his buddies there Ali started talking more. It was nice to meet Ali and his two friends Thamer and Faisal. Next time we meet up I will invite him to play soccer with me.
