The intro 

(Listening Comprehension)

Hey, what's up peeps? It's Mr.Wong here. I hope you're doing well. Here's a joke for ya:

Two guys are out hunting in the woods and one of them collapses. He doesn’t appear to be breathing, his eyes are glazed over. The other man pulls out his phone with trembling fingers and calls 911. He gasps, "My friend is dead! What can I do?" The operator says, "Please stay calm. I will help you. First of all, are you sure he's dead? You have to make sure." There’s a silence, then a gun shot. The guy gets back on the phone and says, "OK, now what?"

Haha, you guys got the joke right? OK, let's talk about the word of the day which is "undermine", let's check it out!
