Today I skyped with So-young. I had her read this article first:

At first, she said she was only unfamiliar with one word: lucrative. We discussed the meaning and I had her come up with an example sentence. There were a few other words/phrases she didn't know when I asked, so we also discussed those. One phrase I didn't know was "chilling effect".

- In a legal context, a chilling effect is the inhibition or discouragement of the legitimate exercise of natural and legal rights by the threat of legal sanction
The article was on the travel ban from Trump and the effect it has been having on international students here.
