Snob

Beth and Robert are coworkers. They’re at a party together.

They’re talking about different types of wine to drink.

Beth: Robert, you should try this wine from California. It’s so delicious!

Robert: That sounds nice, but I’ll stick to Italian wine for now.

Beth: Just try it! It’s fruity and has an amazing taste. I’m sure you’ll love it.

Robert: Beth, I don’t want to try it. I’m going to keep drinking my Italian wine. It’s from Montepulciano and it’s rated a 97. Also, very expensive.

Beth: Robert, you’re such a snob sometimes. Italian wine is great, but trying this Californian wine won’t kill you.

Robert: I appreciate your recommendation, Beth, but I’m happy with this. You should learn to have some class.

Hi! My name is John. My favorite thing to do is travel! I’m a photographer and I use a Nikon camera, so I always document my trips with the best pictures I can take. I love to learn languages! I learned fluent Spanish when I lived in Costa Rica, and I’ve tried to learn other languages like Italian, Portuguese, French, and even Russian! It’s a hobby that’s really fun to me. I play some guitar, and in my spare time I like to watch documentaries or try to cook new and interesting foods. I love learning about new cultures! I hope I can learn about yours.

I obtained my CELTA certification from Teaching House, New York. I’m also a trained and certified teacher in my state, New Jersey, in the USA. I’ve been teaching English for 6 years now. My first job was in Costa Rica. All of the classes were fun and engaging, I love to play games with my students. I currently give classes online to students from Brazil, Russia, Spain, Korea, Germany, China, Italy, and many other countries. I’m experienced at teaching grammar and pronunciation and I specialize in American English. I want my students to speak like a native! My students will learn the material and put it to use, like a real situation. Come study with me!
