Today is the last class of our current February class period. The start time for our class will be 10:00am. We will begin class with a casual conversation. Our reading today is about health metrics. Please try to read as much as possible. Underline any words or sentences that are unfamiliar. Our listening is about a fear of flying. We will have questions in place of the transcript. I will explain in class. This is just an experiment. We will finish with our grammar sentences.
