Welcome to your first class. Today is the first class in our current four class set. 

                            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.
