Today is the third class of our current four-class set. We will begin with our editing exercise. Our grammar unit today is unit 131. 

The phrase of the week is, "ramble on." We use this phrase to describe someone who talks too much and is not clear. For example, "I didn't explain that well, sorry for rambling on."

Our reading today is about how to write better emails. Our listening material is a dialogue about setting up a meeting. The vocabulary words will come from the reading. I will talk about them in class.
