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.
