The intro

(Listening Comprehension)

Hey, what's up peeps ? It's Mr.Wong here. Did you know that there's another way of saying rich ? Instead of saying "Hey you're so rich !", you could say "Hey you are truly affluent !". Once they hear that they would be like "Oh snap ! You're fancy huh !" You hear that ? It makes you sound hella smart and not butthurt too ! Keep in mind that there're two ways to pronounce this word, one is 【‘æfluənt】, the other 【ə‘fluənt】. It works even better with the British accent : "Hello there, you are truly affluent, you know what I mean ?" Girls would be all over you ! You can thank me later. Alright, so today's word of the day is "affluent". Check it out !
