Today's course

Today's lesson was based mainly on the best way to learn new words and how to manage to not forget them .

Some people have a good memory like Hajime ; he said that when he goes to the gym to practise , he always try to review what we have done in class ( new words , collocations .... ) on his mind ....

Many agreed that we should always review what we have done in class , it will help us to memorize the new words and definitely we won't forget it and that is the point ; for example today we saw some crucial collocations related to our subject areas so Steve asked us for homework to use them to create a sentence which required us to link them together and I guess that tomorrow he will test our memory and to what extent we manage to use this collocations to stimulate our academic skills .

Here is the list of collocations :

to take out mortgage

high risk loans

rising interest rates

to bolster ( make it strong ) money markets

to borrow on more favourable terms

to solve the liquidity crisis

confidence is shaken by

to bring the threat of recession

rising living costs

hit consumer confidence
