On October 25th I met with Domingos at Strozier. I agreed to stay extra time to go over some things with him. He needed some help with a few of the concepts and grammar structures of A Higher Loyalty. We went over some of the problems he had with certain sentences. I explained that the way we speak English is different from how we write English. Comey was writing as if he was speaking to the reader. This makes for a more enjoyable experience when reading, but can be a little challenging when it comes to analyzing writing styles. We took notes of certain structures, and got to talking about law and order in the United States. Since we first met I can tell that he has improved his speaking abilities. His pronunciation is clearer, and he sounds more sure of himself. I think his main difficulty has been speaking. Portuguese sounds very different than English, and Domingos frequently transfers those sounds into English, making his speech unclear. Though, after weeks of talking about guns, how the supreme court works, what a governor does, what do different political parties want, and James Comey, he has come a long way.
