Independent Study 10

Today is the last class in our new four class set. Our phrase of the week is, "hard to shake." We use this phrase to describe a feeling or memory that won't leave. For example, "This experience will be hard to shake. I will remember it forever."

Today's reading is about professional ruts and our listening material is about a subway musician. This week we will have more phrases! Please listen for the phrases and try to make your own sentences. 

Listening Phrases
