今週は音声付メルマガです。

 In Dela Cruz English Club, we pride ourselves on exceptional
 service and outstanding value.
And since our learners' needs always come first, we are hereby
launching a series of videos to improve English listening skills.
The topics are from our very own Mail Magazine which
you have grown to love.








When you are in a hurry, we have the tendency to forget some
things.
The clip we have for you today is about our habit of
being absentminded at times.
Let's see how Shima reacts to Diana in "Double-check."

2.  What was the second thing Diana forgot?
  a.  She forgot her food in the refrigerator.
  b.  Diana forgot her bag in the office.
  c.  Diana suddenly remembered her milk in the fridge.

3.  When will she eat it?
