reading your posts makes me want to ...cry. You might have to imagine the difficulties of an international gmat student and you did it very well. I will put into practice what Ron-called "getting personal involvement" and "reading in structure" (I customized the words a bit)
The whole personal-involvement thing is not just a problem faced by English-as-a-second-language students; it's a problem faced by ALL students.
In fact -- perhaps ironically -- this is often an even greater issue for students whose first language is English, since those students often just read and regurgitate the words that are literally presented in the passage, without really
processing those words. (This is one of the unfortunate effects of the typical classroom environment on most people; it dampens their ability to
think about what they're reading, most likely because of all those years of mindlessly memorizing things.)
The English-as-a-second-language crowd at least has to translate the words into their own native languages. That's a hassle, but the upside is that "mindless regurgitation" is pretty much off the table as a possibility.
(about my writing, I attribute the improvement to all your SC sessions on Thursday With Ron, except some better errors in my writing. I got 5 AWA even hadn't finished the essay yet due to pressure.)
That's awesome. Well done.
And, thanks.
Ron has been teaching various standardized tests for 20 years.
