I hope you had a restful holiday. Today is the second class of our three class September set.

                            Our phrase this week is, "play the hand you're dealt." This means, use what you have or what you have been given. For example, "two members of our team were sick, but we had to finish the project anyway. We had to play the hand we were dealt."

                             Our reading material is an interview with the CEO of MailChimp about loving what you do. Our listening material is about a restaurant in Los Angeles that serves the same food, but for different prices. Please listen for and create examples for our vocabulary words.
