Today is the third class in our current four class set. 

The phrase of the week is, "green light." This traffic term is often used as a metaphor for confirmation; green means go. For example, "The corporate headquarters gave us the green light for the new project."

The reading this week is about thinking like a finance director and our listening material is about labor law. Please listen for the vocabulary words. I will give you examples and you will need to describe the words to the class.
