Thank you so much to all of you who took the time to write to me
about my idea of lessons in International Commerce.

In fact, the demand for Inco terms and suchlike was quite small. I
couldn’t justify spending the time producing the exercises.

A lot more people asked for lessons in ‘Business English’. I found
that a bit strange because we already have a complete website that
does that.

www.business-english.com

This site doesn’t get very many visitors compared to our grammar
sites. We’d like to develop it more but we can only do that if we
can attract the advertising support it needs and that means many
more visitors.

The one frequent demand was for more letter and email writing help.

I’m trying out some new exercise types to help with this and you
can try them out here.

Let me know if you have any technical problems.
For those of you more concerned with revising your grammar, try
this exercise.

That’s all for this week. Thank you again for all the feedback.

The poor summer weather here continues. I love watching the Tour de
France cycle race on my television but it’s frustrating to see how
much better the weather is in France.

Today’s exercise is about the zero conditional.

Many people wrote to me thanking me for the links to Canterbury
Cathedral. Others have written to me asking for more listening
activities. Combining the two, here is one of Caroline’s listenings
about a visit to another beautiful place in Kent.

I’ve got a bad cold but then everybody that I know here in England has got
a bad cold We’re all surviving on hot lemon drinks. Hope it is warmer
where you are.

We’ve had quite a lot of demand for further listening practice. I
hope you enjoy this activity, which also gives useful revision of
the difference between the Past Simple and Present Perfect.

I was delighted to see that so many people  bought the e-books I
suggested last week. These  $7 e-books are very good value and the
income from them helps to finance the production of new exercises.

Many of you liked the good source of very useful English words and
phrases. It’s on offer for seven dollars and is well worth that.

Also, my good friend Gary Vurnum has reduced the price of his
interesting e-book on the Millionaire Mindset to seven dollars and
it’s proving to be a huge bestseller at that price. You can see
more about it at

Hope to have a few more exercises for you next week.
