Acknowledgments
There are a few people I would like to thank for their help in getting me to the point where I
could write this book.
First of all, I would like to thank my parents. Without their love, infinite patience, guidance, and
understanding I would have never made it as far as I have.
I want to thank my wife for her encouragement and love throughout all my successes and
failures.
I would also like to thank all of my fellow tutors at Fast English who have kept me sane through
the hard times and celebrated with me during the good times.
Lastly, I would like to thank all of my students at Fast English who have made my years of
teaching fun and interesting
