FREE English Conversation Classes (ESOL)
We have been holding free English conversation classes during school term at 8 Atkins Way, Ohauiti, Tauranga (a private house) since about September last year. Classes are starting again in February 2018. There is a Tuesday class from 11:15, but we can have classes on other days if there are enough people interested.
The classes give people learning English as a second or third language a good chance to practice their English. We will try to keep the classes small, so you have a good chance to speak.
An optional English conversation Bible study follows straight after the English conversation class.
The classes have been fun and the students have enjoyed bonding after class.
David taught for two school terms last year at an English school mainly for Koreans.

31.9% The sting of a fine (Money talks!)
-
68.1% The threat of demerit points (Nobody wants to lose their license!)

Scam Alert: Bank cold calls
ASB is warning customers about reports of cold calls from scammers claiming to be from ASB. These scammers are trying to obtain personal information, including usernames, dates of birth, and verification codes sent to your mobile phone.

If you get a call from someone claiming to be from ASB and youβre unsure, just ask them for a Caller Check. You will then be able to verify the call through the app.
Remember, banks will:ββ
β Never ask for your banking passwords, PINs, or verification codesββ
β Never need to know your full credit card number β especially the CVC
β Never ask you to download software or remotely access your deviceββ
β Never ask you to purchase gift cards or transfer funds.
If you have received a phone call and think your account has been compromised, call ASB on 0800 ASB FRAUD (0800 272 372), or visit your local branch.
