John Agonden is one of my clients.One would be awed by his alertness at the age of 95. He is keeping foreign language learning, Russian and Spanish, ---one of the major facts of his longevity.
After short conversation,he realized the novelty and significance of what I'm working on, gave me a proper encouragement. His remark is that "You are dealing with a high order of subject matter, say,toilet is at the low order, what is high order? for instance, 'What is the consequence of oil spill'?...Your concept is very interesting, is to develop a method of learning, and you are trying to make a new analyzing system on this subject...." These words brought both of us a hearty laugh.
About my speech, he gave me a valuable critique, saying that, sometimes, I have a problem of high(low) pitch."Practice pronunciation", is he advised me.
He argued about that "analyse" and "resolve" are not synonym,which is from a dictionary. He is a little bit stubbon on this matter. He taught me this word--alight: when storm coming, wind blowing, birds are flying, then a sparrow alighted on a branch.And an idiom:"a horse of different color", this refers to that his hobby, to play an according,
He recommended me to use Random House Dictionary.
Lives with his wife at a $3,000/mo highly efficient apartment, where is like a park.Part of his resource is based on smart investment on five good choice.
A sexy lady is near by,talked about his openness with stranger: after 5 minutes after a glance with popping eyes, they were dancing together with harmonious movement.
