============================

Oooh, Friday the 13th! Does Friday the 13th have any superstitions attached to it in Japan? In Western culture, it is considered by many to be an unlucky day, but no one is really sure why!

So, today’s word, headway, is used in the sense of “make headway” which basically means to “make progress”. Here are some example sentences:

He is disappointed that they haven’t made any headway in the case.
The police are making headway in their investigation.
Our company’s new product has been making rapid headway in the electronics world.

How about you, have you been making steady headway towards your 2017 goals?

Bye,

Chris
