Your internship sites are rich with new and unfamiliar terms or phrases. One of the goals of the internship is to further develop your English language proficiency. Once every two weeks, you are to publish a post about new vocabulary words or phrases that you have encountered or picked up "on the job." There is a template provided below for you to use each week. Your goal is at least five each post, totaling 20 by the end. Please give the word/phrase, what it means, and the context in which you came across it.
