Independent Study 8

                    Today is the third class of our current four class set. Our interview question today is, "What prompted you to apply for this job?" please think about this question and come to class prepared to answer. 

                     The phrase of the week is, "across the board." We use this phrase to describe something that applies to all or nearly all. For example, "The company has promised to increase salaries across the board, so everyone will get a pay rise."

                      The reading material today is about the bamboo ceiling and our listening material is an introduction to bitcoin. Please listen and create examples for the vocabulary words.
