What do we do in the coaching appointment? • You bring the text of what you are going to say. This text needs to be written in your own words; it should not be taken directly from sources like Wikipedia. • You will come prepared to read your text so that I can correct your pronunciation. • Or you will bring your power point presentation so that I can read it and correct it.
