Today is the third class in your current four class set. This class will be bumped to next week, 8/20. We will start class with a casual conversation. Our reading today is about World Youth Day. Please read as much as you can. Highlight any words and phrases that are not familiar. I have also included some listening material. Please focus on time, not accuracy. Please listen to as much as you can, but you only have to listen once. We will review 5 vocabulary words. We are going to try to apply the words to everyday life.
