Today is the second week in our current four class set. We will begin with our translation exercise. 

The phrase of the week is, "the thrill of the hunt." This phrase describes why hunting animals is interesting to some people. The thrill is based on the fact that you may or may not succeed. For example, "The thrill of the hunt is a reason some people like dating."

Our reading this week is about a vintage clothes collector and our listening material is about a YA author. Please listen for the vocabulary words and create your own examples.
