Is Technology Killing Leisure Time?

Today the class was dedicated to the reading passage on page 116. We all agreed technology has invaded our free time and texting has become part of our daily lives.
Key expressions of the lesson:
Staggering use - overwhelming, very shocking or surpising use
Harry Potter was a staggering success when it first came out.

To go awry - to go out of the right course / to go wrong
Anything that goes awry in the classroom is blamed on John.

Barely - almost not / By the smallest amount
He barely passed the course. His final average was 70 and the passing grade is 70.

We also covered exercises C and D on page 115.

Intellectually stimulating activities for the weekend: Grammar exchange, page 115 and workbook pages 93 and 94.
