Smile Dear Alan,
I'm amazed at your talent for writing such witty,amuzing and educative essays. They are charming, ingenious, subtle. You always choose the right aspect of vocabulary to discuss; you are aware of the difficulties foreign learners face.
Unfortunately, I can't afford to buy your book of short stories, so many thanks on your newsletters.

Dear Alan!
I feel great to read this story. It's interesting enough. I'd like to receive more funny stories like this. Now I'm a little bit busy 'cause I'm going to school. When I come back, I'm reading it again and give you more recommendations.
Thanks a lot!

This essay is very interesting. I just read top to buttom. Can you also write something on the topic "telecommunication's digital supervisory system"?

Thanks,

Dear Alan,

What an amazing piece about what people get remembered for! I have been receiving your newsletters for more than a year now and should say that your colorful way of thinking, curious chunks of information beautifully transformed into words and a humorous flavour so evident in your texts makes me admire your writing talent!

A huge basket of thanks to you!

Deepest regards,

No recommendations yet... Just THANK YOU so much!
I am pleased to receive your letters, because English is not my native language and I need practice every time as much as possible. So, it's great work you do for improving my English.
Thanks again and again!

Best regards,

Good story, Thanks.

Alan Townend's short stories are really humourous and thoughtful. I am somewhat inspired by them.
Also thanks for your warm recommendations about English learning. I got his book, and now I ultilize it usually, it's really useful in further improving my students' as well as my English grammar and reading skills.

Best wishes,

Well. I must say that I love the essay so much. I think your essay helps me a lot in improving my English. I read it three times and gradually I learnt a new lesson through each time of reading. By the way, I have applied for translation centers with an aim of raising my income because my salary of present is not enough. Hopefully things go well.

Sweet goodbye to all of you!

Good evening, dear Torsten. Thank You very much for your attention, I use Alan's materials as a student first of all, but I can use them in my classroom too as a teacher. I'm working at school 178 in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. I read them on my computer screen because i don't have the opportunity to print them at home, and I can't buy them them because they are very expensive for me right now, but soon I will.
My students of 9-th and 11-th grades liked the story very much, because it was written in an unusually interesting way for them, all books we use for reading are old enough.
Thank you, hear from you soon.

Hi Alan, thank you for your newsletter.

I have already read it, it's really attractive, when I started to read it I couldn't take my eyes from it. Really, you have a capability of writing from your heart. You really can do it. But I cannot.

I have one little problem, won't you help me with that? I cannot talk as long as I want, don't you know why? Please write to me.
Goodbye,

Dear Mr Alan Towend,
Thank you very much for your interesting and amusing story. I think I've enjoyed it and improved my English vocabulary, specially in English expressions.

The story also gave me some insight into English history of which I do not know much. Please send me more short stories like this - one and once a week.
Yours sincerely,
Thanh
