Monica's dad was an exchange student when he was in high school. He studied in Canada for 2 years. Even though Monica's dad learned English before he went to Canada, when he arrived there, he could not even carry on a simple conversation. For 2 years, he struggled very hard because people could not understand his English.
That's why Monica's dad thinks Monica should take lots of English conversation lessons. He thinks speaking ability is more important than studying grammar from his own experience.
Monica has been studying English for 3 years now. She is always busy studying English. She practices listening and speaking a lot because of her dad. Her private tutor is a native speaker. Her dad only lets her watch movies or TV shows in English. Sometimes she has to read along with the captions because her dad tells her to.
