Competition
Who is your biggest competitor? This lesson explores competition in everyday life: sports such as football, badminton, taekwondo and car racing; restaurants, hotels and massage shops competing for customers with discounts and promotions; and countries competing at the Olympics and in the global economy. You’ll also hear a different way to think about competition, where the rival who really matters is yourself from yesterday.
