How to play pool with DJ!

On Saturday the students and I met to play and learn to play pool.  I was surprised to see that our new Chinese student, Lisa, was actually a pretty good player and very competitive, like a mini version of me! 

The other students took instruction very well and after playing against each other on teams (South/North America vs Asia, Girls vs Boys, Older vs Young)  for a couple of hours we decided it was time to eat!  

After a little restaurant debate, we finally decided walk on over to Hamburger Habit and wow was it ever so delicious! I think we all developed a habit after this and look forward to enjoying each others company again soon!

A night of pool/billiards with Anthony!

A night of pool/billiards in the Lakewood/Long Beach area was a great social event for the students from LSI #SBLA. There was a showing of more than 13 students from a myriad of levels and backgrounds. And aside from pool playing, there was American music and pizza from a local eatery.

With the large number of students, we took over three tables at Lakewood Family Billiards and took turns learning and playing cutthroat, a three player version of pool, and standard 8-ball, a 1v1 or team version of pool. Students interacted with one another and with LSI teacher Anthony while practicing realistic English use and everyday American social skills.
