Your internship sites are rich with new and unfamiliar terms or phrases. One of the goals of the internship is to further develop your English language proficiency. iMentor can also help with that. Once or twice a month, you are to publish a post about new vocabulary words or phrases that you have encountered or picked up at internship or through reading your iMentor's messages.
>Due Dates:
Friday March 19th - 5 new words
Friday April 9th - 8 new words

For each word:

If it's from an article, write the name of the article. If it's a word or phrase you learned at internship, write a context. For example,
Context: At my internship site, my mentor always tells me to explore a variety of professions before I choose a career. .
4 - Write the dictionary definition of the word.
