VIP Class Notes (Tony)

Vocabulary

Dopamine – a natural chemical in your brain, that is produced during happy moments, or by drugs/food.

eg: People like having a coffee when they meet for the first time. Like an interview or a blind date. They may not realize that the coffee tastes good, but also has an interesting side effect. It releases more dopamine in your brain, so you form a positive connection with that memory, because it’s linked to the dopamine release.

Grammar

I don’t want to date with a coworker

the year after next

Can Vs. May – can is actually the wrong word when people ask for permission

eg: Can I go to bathroom?

(Actually you are asking if you are ABLE to go to the bathroom, but of course you are able, you can walk there)

eg: May I go to the bathroom

(This asks for permission to do it)

Dad Joke:
