Today is the last class in our current four-class set. We will begin with our Latin root words test. Our grammar unit is unit 116.

The phrase of the week is, "package deal." We use this phrase to describe buying numerous things for a set price. We often use this for people of friends. For example, "Growing up, my brother and I were a package deal." This means we did everything together, and If one person was included the other had to be included as well. 

Today's reading is about overachievers and our listening material is some survival tips from a Kiwi. The vocabulary words came from the reading. Please be able to describe them.
