Today is the second class in our current four class set. We will begin with unit 91 in our grammar book. 

                              The phrase of the day is, "kick in." We use this phrase to be mean 'take effect.' We often use it for medication. For example, "Has the Tylenol kicked in yet?" This means is the medicine working. Another example is, "The new payment system will kick in next month."

                                Today's reading is about autonomous trucking and our listening material is about the bellicose banter between Trump and North Korea. Please listen and create examples for our vocabulary words.
