Current newsletter: It's going to cost you!

[Tamta Antadze]

Hello there.
I liked this newsletter, it was really interesting.....

Thank you Alan :)

Hi Alan,

Needless to say you picked the most valuable topic of this season.
Well, we all want money, money and more money. Anything and everything you try to accomplish today has to do with money. I myself wonder 'what’s the stranger power money has over human lives?'

On the other hand, I like your essay so much on this small five letter word called 'Money'. While reading few times over and over what I really thought was how beautifully you have written all those words from history to present. I wish I can write that way. Perhaps one day you never know. That reminds me to write and keep writing just like the Chinese, who never thought of sitting back and wait for more farm crops to be produced for coins. Rather they invented the paper money for us. My suggestion for your newsletter would be ‘Restless’. You might want to know why I pick this subject i.e. in reality we all become restless if we have too much money or little.

Thanks for your time.

Hi Alan:
Today, everything has to do with money, but personnally I don't want alot of money, I rather accomplish my goal to get my certification in veterinary medecine in USA and live comfortably. I hope I can overcome my problem and pass the Toefl. Thank you.

It was a very nice newsletter and the information was very actual.Money is very important now days. Would be a pleasure for me offering you a cup of tea in order to barter the newsletter because I really enjoyed that .I have only one year that I have start working after finishing the university and I during this time I have realized the real value of the money.Thanks again for the newsletter.
Best regards
JOna

Hi Alan,

Everything is going to cost us, in other words we are to pay for everything. I belong to people who never think how to save money. Oh! It is very good to have some money in your pocket or on your card, but, usually, they tend to escape from there as soon as possible. And that's not too bad, at last you don't have to bother where to put exessive money and, instead, you are looking for good friends whose heads are not stuffed with bank accounts. There is an old Russian proverb which sounds approximately like this: "Don't have 100 rubles but have 100 friends."

Best regards,

Yuri

Hi Yuri,

Thanks for your message. Are we going to hear you on the '20 seconds a day message' part of the forum? Just one small point - I think you need to turn the volume up because I found it difficult to hear you.

[Yuri Yurinov]

Hi Alan,

Sorry, my home computer is out of order and I am not able to listen to your voice message and record myself on the "20 seconds a day message", and won't be able to do it in two or three days. But I am looking forward to do it.
By the way, may I miss the words "do it" after "won't be able to"?

Thank you,

Yuri

Hi Yuri,

Good luck with the repair of your computer. I would say: I won't be able to for two or three days. You can leave out/omit 'do it'.

Best wishes,

Alan

hi Alan
I decide finally to start writing,even I find reading easier than writing.I read your story "it 's going to cost you!",all what is talking about is money and finance,I find many new terminology and a good historic pattern of the matter,saying that Chinese were the first in the field.I agree ,but how about if I tell you that there is a good remedy for that intenational economy and banking crisis:an islamic economic system.
Western scientist say that in Paris,not me,try that :zero per cent interest "it's going to cost you nothing'!

Hi Mr. Townend,

This piece of story is very interesting, especially the brief history of barter and development of money. I appreciate it and hope to read more of the sort. I wouldn't mind to have a copy of your English Grammer Stories, if affordable. Keep writing! Thanks.
