Hi,

You can't open a newspaper, turn on the radio or TV (at least in the UK) without hearing more information about finance and the financial crisis spreading throughout the world. People who have (or had) pots of money and were known as 'fat cats' have now lost even more pots of money and the rest of us have lost our jobs, been made redundant and found that the interest on our savings has gone right down. Words like 'credit crunch' and 'financial meltdown' have become very popular. When I therefore sat down to write my regular newsletter, the word that kept dancing before my eyes was 'money'. And with that in mind I offer you the latest newsletter entitled 'It's going to cost you'.

As for me, I'm going to buy a copy of Alan Townend's English Grammar Stories in exchange for his newsletter. It's nothing compared to what I'm learning from his book. Bravo! Alan...

Best regards,

Marianne

[Kadis]

Oh I would say (if dont know already how) I say, I'll teach you Spanish, how about that?
I don't know if that would be a good pay for you but let me know, do we have a deal?

Hugs and Kisses from Kadis

Hi Alan, after I red your current email, I don’t think to buy your English grammar through histories in pdf version, but if I could be able to buy your book it will be very grateful. So, form my position where I can find it? Thanks.
Cheers
Helder

Hi Helder,

You can buy the materials as an e-book here: Shop. If you want a paper based book, simply print off the PDF document.

Thanks,
Torsten

Hi, Alan!
I like everything you do for us so much, that if you asked me to offer you something for your newsletter, I would gladly offer to show you some beautiful sights here in Moscow if you happen to be here.

[Toñis]

Hello!

I liked the stories very much. I invite you to read my comment.unfortunately the world is moved by the money.The chinesses didn't imagine that they'll facilitate the use of it. In the last year, in my beautiful country, many people who want to get money in easy way, put their money in piramids and they lost all because they fell down.They lost houses, cars which were sold to ge money to put in risk and now some of them have to pay to the banks the money that they took in borrowing. Most of them are desperate and they don't know what to do. I feel bad for them because their ambitious pull them to do stupid things.

Hi Tatyana,

Glad you liked the latest newsletter. Thanks also for your invitation to show me round Moscow. I have only been once to your country and thoroughly enjoyed the visit but I have never been to Moscow.

Best wishes,

Alan

Hi,

I understand the words "fat cats, financial meltdown, credit crunch" in context, but what is the meaning exactly. Can you help me?

thanks

[Alan]

Hi Toñis,

'Fat cats' are people who have made enormous amounts of money. 'Financial meltdown' describes what happens when the money markets in the world start to fall very low indeed. 'Credit crunch' describes a situation when people find it very difficult to get credit/borrow money - to buy a house for example.
