Today is the last class in our current four class set. We will not have class next week on June 5th. We will resume our study on June 12th.

                       The phrase of the week is, "rat race." This is a phrase we use to describe continuously working with a clear objective and with no end in sight. For example, "I feel like my life has become a rat race."

                         Today's reading material is about moving to a small town in Italy and our listening material is on parental leave. I have changed the fonts for the material just to see how students react. Please listen for the vocabulary words and create examples.
