FITB Ch. 8

Right at the beginning of this chapter is a great chart that lists every subject and then what English-language learners might talk about.
It is very interesting to see how we can connect where they are from and how much they understand about our culture to there own culture. The one I liked the best is from reading and writing where tehy might want to hear stories and legends that "everyone knows". I have always been interested in shared beliefs in different cultures. Not everyone knows that almost every culture has a bogeyman or tooth fairy. They just give them different names and change the attributes of them for each culture.
