Welcome to your first class. Today is the first class of our new four-class set. We will begin class with a review of several grammar books that I have selected. We will also edit a work email.

The phrase of the week is, "bear fruit." We use this phrase to describe something that has produced results. For example, "My diet is starting to bear fruit. I have lost two pounds this week."

I have selected a reading for you based on your industry. Please read and be able to describe the vocabulary words. The vocabulary words will come from the reading.
