Pot Luck Dinner
On Friday, April 30 @ 7 pm. we will share a "potluck" meal with our friends at English Café. This is where everyone cooks and brings a dish with them. It is a fun way to get to know the food of other countries. Do not worry if your cooking is not perfect; practice will make it better.

The Family
Hi everyone, "The Family" was our last topic at English Café. Various cultures view family members differently. People say in Canada the family isn't as close knit as in many other countries. The reason is because Canadians are more mobile. How do you keep in touch with your relatives?
Some idioms in the English language about the family
* Rule the roost
* Own flesh and blood
* Black sheep
* Make ends meet
* Close-knit
* Bring home the bacon
* The apple doesn't fall far from the tree
* Chip off the old block
* Run in the family
* Rite of passage
