Hello everyone, thanks for joining the course the week.

This week we will be talking about human nature: Are we inherently good? Or are we... not so good? I have chosen an article that explores this topic in light of the current global pandemic and the authors thoughts are very interesting. Reading this article will be the first step on your learning journey this week. I have also picked some useful vocabulary out from the article to help you understand it a little better and expand your vocabulary knowledge.

Our goal this week is to be able to speak about current affairs and relate them to our perceptions of human nature. That is to say, why do we do the things we do? And how can we learn from past mistakes to make the future brighter?

I hope you enjoy the lessons and activities this week and I look forward to seeing you in the speaking classes and pronunciation workshops!

Dave
