As we were saying the other day, time flies. We were sunbathing on the beach a couple of weeks ago and now Christmas is just round the corner. And what is Christmas about (apart from family getting together, love, and all that)? Shopping, of course. In order to make people aware that we live in a consumer society (really?) and that you don't actually need half of what you buy, Buy nothing day is celebrated every Nov. 27th (OK, it was last week, but you can also make it a 'buy nothing week'. 'Buy nothing day' tries to counterbalance the craze of Black Friday, the day that signals the start of the shopping season in the USA, and that can be as dangerous as this.
This week we are going to talk about shopping, business, work, AND connectors (in order to, although, in spite of, etc.) So before you fall into the Christmas shopping frenzy (in spite of the crisis) think that you can concentrate on learning English -it's safer and you can save money!
