How often do you go on vacation?
p. 37-38 - With your partner, decide what each expression means on p. 38.
1 a (“take in” can mean something like “fully experience”)
2 b
3 a
4 b
5 b
6 b
7 b (also “booked up”)
8 b
9 b
10 b
11 a
12 b

oversleep = sleep too much
sleep over = sleep at someone else’s house (especially as a party)
sleepover = noun for a party where people all sleep over at your house
---
p. 39 - Listen to the conversation at “real speak” speed and circle or underline the sounds that the speakers reduce.
City of Boston -> City a’ Boston (often this pronunciation would be written as “City o’ Boston”)
City of Angels - We’d probably keep the /v/ sound before the vowel of “Angels” (but not necessarily)
---
Today’s reduction: and -> ‘n, in -> ‘n
The book writes these with ‘n’ because that’s the original letter, but it can sound more like ‘m’ or ‘ng’ depending on the next sound.

Homework (to start in class): p. 42 - choose the correct word to complete each pair, then decide if you think this pair can be said in both orders (“mother and father” or “father and mother”), or just one way (“black and white” but not “white and black”)
