Minutes of the meeting on 5/18
We had 5 English Talkaholics on 5/18, they were Me, Alyssa, Hyoju Kevin and Seok-jun.
We had a lot of chats continuously going on as always for the first and second class.
We covered the issue of raising tabaco price for the debate. It was quite hard for me and Alyssa as non-smokers to support the opposition side. We acted heavy smokers who could not afford cigarettes if the price goes up and it triggered a lot of laughs.
We had lunch all together as usual. Hope to see everybody again this Saturday!! :)

is
to improve our English, isn't it?
