Dear Torsten,

My test succeeded 10:10.

I try to reply to your letter. I was very surprised that you wrote " It just occurred to me that I don't know that much about you."
Dear Torsten I wrote several times who I am.It's very difficult to write again. In nutshell: I am a grandmother whose two grandchildren don't speak Hungarian, that's why I am learning English. I was a teacher. Now I am retired.Perhaps this is enough to remind you. I am Hungarian.
You write:"... you have been om my email English course for several weeks". I rather say for several months. Since 2009 November. But once I didn't get lessons more that's why I have to log in again and I began after the 10. lesson with the 1. lesson.
But I never forget that You helped me once when the Forum didn't accept my login, and it was already very late here, I was exhausted with useless trying, and after 12 o'clock midnight, you noticed me and you in a hurry helped me, you gave me a new password and everything became settled. I was very grateful and happy that from 50 000 students you recognized your student and helped me immediately. I never will forget it.Thank you again and again.
Thank you for the link by means of I could get in touch with other students. Tomorrow I try it. The beginning of the week is very busy to me I am looking forward to Thursday when I can learn English till Sunday evening.
I hope you will read this letter and you will know who I am.

Best regards:
Kati Svaby

Hi Linh,

Many thanks for your positive feedback. As for your question, when you put sugar into your tea you normally use a spoon. Once you have put the sugar into your cup you also use the spoon to stir your tea. Now, before you drink your tea you should remove the spoon from your cup because otherwise you run the risk of hurting yourself when you put the cup to your mouth.

It means the man's eye pain was because of the spoon? It is funny!!!

Hello,
Here the letter what I had sent to the webmaster.

You need to post your answers on the forum instead of sending them via email

Hello,

Here my last Forum letter. I answered it but my answer didn't appear on the thread. And since I haven't received any Forum letters and what is more my answer ( what I wrote immediately) didn't appear on the thread either.
Excuse me, I don't want to hurry you, but I really don't understand what can be the problem.

Best regards:
Kati svaby

Hello,

I found the letter to Igal on another thread.

Hello Igal,

What don't you understand?
Why is she having pain in her eyes while she is drinking her tea?
Because she didn't remove the spoon from the cup and meantime she was drinking her tea the handle of the spoon poked repeatedly her eye.
That's why there is a rule that you have to remove the spon from the cup while you are drinking your tea.
Or did you think something else?

Bye:
Kati Svaby
