Today is the second class in our current four-class set. We will begin class with our collocations exercise. Our reading this week is about personality tests and our listening is another feel-good story from the Ellen show.

I forgot to collect your writing last week, so this week I will collect both. Hopefully, I won't forget again. The vocabulary words will come from our reading. Please be able to recognize them in class. 

For our listening material, I want you to write a paragraph about your reaction to the story. I will collect the paragraphs and edit them for you. This is an open topic, so you can write about whatever you want.
