Today is the first class of our new February four class set. We will begin class with some ERT Trivia, these will be light questions about ERT and your classmates. We will keep score and there will be a small prize for the person who has the largest amount of correct answers by the end of the month. 

                        The phrase of the week is, "speaks volumes." We use this phrase to show how well something describes another. For example, "John has stuck to his diet for eight months and it speaks volumes about his dedication and commitment to a healthy lifestyle."

                         Today's reading is about friendship and does include some profanity. The listening material is about overconfidence.  Please listen for and create examples for the vocabulary words.
