Dear NG,
Since my latest log entry a lot has happened. Apart from the fact that the Russians and the students from Italy doing the General English Course have left, classes went on very effectively. We were concentrating ourselves {1} on topics as {2} right pronunciation, the right use of idioms and words and some negotiation tools. Furthermore, we received a lot of new information on British Business by {3} Jeff. We heard about Barclay's, some technology companies and the most important stock markets on the world. Together with Jeff we decided on taking {4} a look at the problem with Marks & Spencer {5} and some other companies located in the UK. Jeff is as well {6} our tutor in our project, which is doing quite fine. The interview with our first contact person was very helpful, because he was able to give us much information on the pros and cons concerning the Euro. Furthermore we asked him about the attitude of local companies and multinational companies around Devon and Cornwall towards the new currency. Then he was so kind to give us the contact addresses and people of some bigger companies around Exeter which might be useful to take {7} in contact with. So we arranged some appointments and also looked up some information on the Internet. Our main aim in {8} the Internet was to find out some pro-Euro and some con-Euro {9} organisation, which {10} would be able to send us some information via e-mail.
Yours Georg
