Economics

My Russian teacher has me doing work on the subject of economics, not one of my favs. But, this subject is a favorite of DLPT writers, thus, I gotta get my vocab down.

конъюнктура на рынке: market conditions
активы: assets
котировка: quotation
сделка: deal
отскок: rebound
ратовать: to advocate
сырьевые цены: commodity prices

Good words, all. Already some of these from my first reading have popped up in the second reading assigned. (She's a great teacher!)

I'm currently with family though, celebrating a couple university graduations and an engagement, so have had very little time to study. More than likely I'll ask my teacher today to simply give me some аудирование (listening passages) to do during class today, and save the two readings and listenings on economics for this coming Friday. I'll be home tomorrow, so that'll give me plenty of time to cram for the class. Then after that I believe there is only one class left, the 29th, as next Monday is a holiday. I'm sure she'll slam me with a bunch of work since it'll be a week between meetings. Oy!
