| I'm from Ukraine. The style of explaining the rules or grammar materials by our teachers differs greatly from yours. But I like your style more. Really. |

Hello Torsten and Alan,
No one word seems to be enough to explain my happiness when I receive your wonderful lessons. Thank you so much. As for Alan's story, it's very interesting, I should say What is more you used lots of idioms. Everything is clear but I don't think that the English are tacuturn. Is it really so? As for your politeness, I know about it. Even I ask my pupils to be polite as the English. To tell the truth, we seldom use such words as sorry, apologise.
Regards, Ramilya |

Hi I like Alan Towned's essay, he started with a simple word "sorry" which we've been using in daily life. We say all the time to express our feeling that we are sorry. However, I read many times to get his point, but I still not sure about the last sentence " So let's all raise our glasses( full water of course) and drink to their health cheers, thanks pthavee |

Hello! Woww! This was a long e-mail, right? I found a little difficult to understand it all, but, despite say "I'm sorry", I think the expression "I didn't mean to do that, honestly" very good. Here in Brazil we usually answer to an apology with expressions like "thatīs fine" or at least with a look of understanding to end the situation. |
