Independent Study 4

                        Today is the second class of our February four class set. The phrase of the week is, "reading between the lines." We use this phrase to describe hidden meanings. For example, "My boss told me I could take the day off but after reading between the line, I think she was a little disappointed."

                         Today's reading is about foreign investment in China. The listening material is about overconfidence.  Please listen for and create examples for the vocabulary words.
