PLANNING, SKILLS, APPROACHES

 The English teacher- a charismatic person

e.g. True story: BC training workshop

”Please, tell Alison that I’ll see her tomorrow afternoon at 6 o’clock, no, not 4
o’clock, 6 o’clock , yes, 6 o’clock.

Tell her to meet me at the Casa Veche, you know, near Eva.

Ask her to bring my tapes back, The Metallica.

Thank you and good bye.”
