ERT Saturday Edition

                           Today is the second class in our current four class set. We will begin class with unit 87 in our grammar book. 

                            The phrase of the week is, "sacrifice a little." We use this quote in situations where we make a trade off. It is very similar to giving a little to get a lot. For example, "John sacrifices an hour on Sunday for a week of happiness at home." This means that when I got to church with my wife, she is happy for a week. 

                              This week's reading is about a moral dilemma at work and our listening material is about wind energy. Please listen and make examples for the vocabulary words.
