Hello,

Even something:

When I used to be a young teacher I wasn't able to reduce the noisy class to silence. Unfortunately this isn't taught in the college.

Dear Alan,

Thank you very much for the thought-provoking and informative piece on "silence". But is it all the time that silence can be golden?
Well, I do not think the answer would be "yes".
My mother would sometimes watch as I did nasty things or as I talked rudely, but she would one day draw my attention to that act and correct me.
Who knows if I would be ready to be corrected at the time I was been rude?
But I do really love the article, and as I am trying never to clout my cloth till May is out, I will enjoy every hour of silence with this article.

Thank you.

Dear Alan,
I am very sorry for stating the proverb in the last sentence of the message I sent yesterday wrongly.
I had wanted to state 'Never cast a clout till May is out', as you taught us some few months ago. This is the problem with me when I try to add new expressions and words to my vocabulary.
Any way the article about 'May' was quite excellent. I just read over.
Here in Ghana, specifically in Cape Coast, the April showers started late and one can see flowers blooming.
Thank you very much for your time and effort you spend on those articles.

Dear Mr. Alan,
Thanks for your topic, I really enjoyed it.
I took a note some expressions into my vocabulary.:)
Sometimes I say " Are you with me?" to attract my pupils attention and keep selience at the lesson.

Best Regards
Ruzihon

Dear Sir,

I enjoyed reading your essay. I also learned a lot from it. I have to read it for the second time for better understanding. “Keep it under your hat” I consider myself a very good one when it comes to keeping it to myself. I learned that from life experience. Some things we have to keep it to ourselves.
Although, you know how they say, “The only way two people can keep a secret is if one of them is dead."

Kind Regards,
