Here is the material for this week. Our reading material is an article about the history of weak alcoholic drinks. It seems that drinking during the day was quite common for Colonial Americans. I want to look at the question, "why do we drink?" 

          Our listening topic is about a company called Monoprice. I recommend listening while reading the transcript. Korea plays an important role in this piece. I want to look at the question, "Have you ever bought the cheaper alternative or a knock off item?"
