text: Alex: hey, I'm writing about the book :)
  Elizabeth: heey, thanks for the message, I'm packing it to my bag right now.
  Alex: thank you so much...you don't even know grateful I am
  Elizabeth: No problem, really. If I can help you in any other way just ask.
  Alex: Actually I have a few questions for you if you don't mind
  Elizabeth: Sure, what is it?
  Alex: I'm starting with the senior group next week and I'm so stressed out cause I never taught the adults...could you give me any clues how to prepare, what to do and so on?
  Elizabeth: Of course. First thing - relax, cause stress is destructive. I remember my first classes with the adults and I couldn't even breath, but the point is to devise you own work schedule, and in order to do it right you just gotta observe them. their knowledge, their needs and so on.
  Alex: I get it...and how does your lesson usually look like?
  Elizabeth: It depends, you know. But for most of the time I'm just trying to stick to my fixed plan. At the beginning checking the attendance, asking them to give me the date in the foreing language so I can put it down in the register. Then a short conversation.
  Alex: and what after that?
  Elizabeth: Then I usually start a new chapter, the vocabulary, sometimes grammar, a few exercices and then work in groups. I don't want them to do the exercices only, cause it's too automatic.
  Alex: sounds really cool...you are so experienced...I wish I was too :/
  Elizabeth: calm down, you'll just learn everything with practice. If you don't want to make your lessons too formal, you can look for some games. I recommend Kaboom.
  Alex: Kaboom? I don't know this game
  Elizabeth: you just write the words on little pieces of paper, for example names of fruit or vegetables and put it all in a little bag. Every person takes out a single piece of paper and has to translate a word written on it. If they spot the answer, they keep it, if they don't, the card goes back to the bag.
  Alex: Sounds really cool! I'm sure I'll try it. Thank you so much for your help!!
  Elizabeth: No problem, any time.
