High Hopes

(Make a killing = earn a lot of money)

I have high hopes for our next class!!  Do you?  

Tell me about something you hope for.

Happy Hannukah

Do you celebrate Hannukah?  What do you do?

חנוכה commemorates the re-dedication of the holy temple in Jerusalem.  In the US, Jewish people get together, light candles, and give gifts for eight days.  In the USA, Hannukah is a big holiday, partly because it gets commercialized in a similar way to Christmas.

Party Today

 Please come!  Please speak English as much as you can!

If you want to bring food, please bring food!

Please don't bring your children or alcoholic drinks or pork-based dishes.

Mood

 There's nothing like finding a sad song when you already feel sad.  I promised Yoon Jung I'd put up a BTS song, so here it is.  I'm going to miss you.

Mood is usually your emotional tone.  My teenager says, "mood" when she relates to someone else's expressed emotion.

What are the best slow songs in English?  Are they depressing?  Are they fun?  Are they romantic?
