Today is the last class in our current four class set. We will begin with our translation. The phrase of the week is, "play into the hands of." We use this phrase when we do something that gives someone else an advantage, although this was not your intention. For example, "When we live our lives in fear, we are playing into the hands of the terrorists."

Our reading this week is about the Rohingya and our listening material is about a garbage man who is also a pastor. Please listen for the vocabulary words.
