The Easter hols are over and we were back to work on the theme of "Tax, Tax Reformand Tax Evasion". Everybody seemed to have a lot to say on this subject.
Here's the vocabulary I noted :
gob-smacked
to be in good shape
I'd prefer to pay taxes
we spend a lot of time and effort
tax havens
PAYE = Pay as you earn
Income Tax
Rates
Property tax
Capital Gains Tax
TVA
on a voluntary basis
volunteers

pension
retirement
solidarity contribution
Road Fund

to jump ahead
to enlarge
died in squalor
to get old
penniless
skint
broke
hard-up
Next week we start on "The Importance of Being Earnest" by Oscar Wilde. Start by researching Oscar Wilde on the net and try and print out the play from www.gutenberg.org.
See you Wednesday
