My friend Hannah teaches English to her boss, along with assisting with overall operations at a creative, entrepreneurial venture in Beijing. She sent the following email today, detailing today’s lesson. Shared with permission. Enjoy!

in [my boss’] english textbook this is how vocab usually goes:
1. tow: draw

“They towed the wrecked car to the nearest garage.”
2. upset: overturn
cause to turn over; tip over; disturb greatly
“Her plans were upset by the change of the weather.”
3. vex: annoy
make angry; bother; distress; provoke
“His father was vexed by the child’s impolite behaviour.”
RIGHT????
So then I get to COMMUNISM.
1. communism: political system
the most ideal social system of mankind. It is divided into two stages of development, the primary stage being socialism and the advanced stage being communism. Communism in the general sense refers to the advanced stage.
“Comparing with socialism, communism is a higher political belief.”
