Today is the second class in our current four class set. Our interview question today is, "Tell me a little bit about yourself." This is a very common question and is often the first question an interviewer will ask you. We will prepare our answer in class. 

                          The phrase of the week is, "this is the case." We use this phrase to say something is true or correct. For example, "I often feel shy. This is the case when I meet new people."

                            Today's reading is about scarcity and our listening material is about the productivity paradox. Please listen for and create examples for the vocabulary words.
