Today is the first class in our new four class set. We will begin class with unit 44 in our grammar book. 

                    Our phrase of the week is, "brainstorming session." This phrase describes anytime where we meet to try and come up with new ideas. For example, "My wife and I need t have a brainstorming session to determine when I can go the dentist."

                      This week's reading is about the tried and true SWOT analysis. Our listening material includes a scene from the Wolf of Wallstreet. We will discuss the theme, "Sell me this pen." The video clip includes some vulgar language, please be warned. I have taken this week's vocabulary words from the document that I have included with the listening material.  Please be prepared to sell a pen in class.
