This week saw the start of the Year of the Tiger. Best wishes, if you celebrate this. It also saw Valentine’s Day. This is a day where you show your love to your partner. It’s a day for hearts.

My friend Dr Mani is a heart surgeon in India. He runs a charity to help fund operations on children with heart problems and every year, on Valentine’s Day, we make a donation to this fund on behalf of our readers. Today’s exercise is based on the charming reply we got.

I’m really sorry about the delay in sending you a new lesson. I had a really bad time with my health in 2009. Hopefully 2010 will be a lot better.
It’s very late but I would like to take this opportunity to wish all 85000 of my students a prosperous and happy 2010.
I can now be found on Twitter as grammarteacher and on Facebook as Pearson Grammar-Teacher.
I’ve just written a short exercise today as there are a lot of new subscribers. You’ll find it here:
I’ll be writing again next week.

I suppose many of you have been on holiday (vacation) recently. I’ve used that as a theme for this week’s letter-writing practice (practise).

Don’t forget that I have a Twitter page at www.twitter.com/grammar-teacher .

PS  Why did I write two words twice?  Check in your dictionary.

It’s a glorious Spring day here in England. I have my office window open and there’s a bird outside that has been trying to get through for the last five hours. It succeeded once and then flew straight back out and started trying again. I’m sure there’s a lesson there for language learners ;-)

Today we’re going to do some exercises to practise ‘apologies’ in an email. You’ll find the exercises here:

http://www.better-english-test.com/unit3/index.html

I’m going to put up a listening version of the letter too. Please check out www.grammar-teacher.com in a couple of days for more details on that.

Have a nice week.

Pearson
