A bit of everything

This post has been a long time coming. It's just a bunch of words and phrases that we have used in class in the last few sessions. Most of them bear no relation to a given topic area, but they might prove useful. So here they are:

Life expectancy = Nowaday's a woman's life expectancy is 80 years
A vaccine for swine flu

To pat someone on the back
To comfort someone
