The intro 

(Listening Comprehension)

Hey, what's up everybody? It's Mr.Wong speaking. Happy Monday! Haha, just kidding! I went to a really shady magic show last night. Don't ask me why, I was bored. So the magician's magic tricks were so bad, I kinda felt sorry for him, I mean the show was free anyways, and he was just trying to please the audience or so I thought... At the end of the show, he wanted us to buy some of his products like shampoo, soap etc. I realized he was just trying to sell us something because obviously he's not a good magician. Anyways, everytime he does a magic trick he always says the words "hocus-pocus" which is gonna be our word of the day, let's check it out!
