Today is the fourth class in our current 17 set. We will begin class with a review of your previous writing assignment. This week's writing assignment will be the final paragraph of your self-introduction essay. I want you to write 4-5 sentences about the skills you have that make you good at your job. 

For example, "As a graduate of Hanyang University, I put myself through school by working jobs in advertising sales and retail. I feel these business experiences helped solidify my work ethic and build on my formal education. Currently, I am responsible for establishing and growing a number of different accounts in the Technology sector. During my employment, I was promoted to Senior Sales Representative and given the opportunity of handling larger, more established client accounts."

The phrase of the week is, "number cruncher." This is someone who is good at math. For example, "My wife is a better number cruncher than me." We can also use this as a verb phrase, crunching numbers. This means working a math problem. 

Today's reading is about the skills accountants need. Our vocabulary will come from our reading. Please be able to describe the vocabulary words.
