English language school in the heart of the Japanese Alps, and English language learners sharing their experiences online. Teachers post regular items about teaching, learning tools, events in the school, their day to day experiences living & working in a foreign country. Students post on whatever takes their fancy - book reports, festivals in home towns, postcards from business trips etc. A little Brit of England in the guts of Japan!

Goodbye, Mr Hollywood - After reading
After reading#4:
How does Craig Winters get 25,000 dollars out of Meg? Their telephone conversation....
Craig: Hi, Meg. How are you?
Meg: Craig, I'm fine. But I want to see you. When can we meet?
Craig: I don't know. I want to see you, too, but things aren't easy at the moment.
Meg: Why? What's the matter?
Craig: It's my mother. I can't leave her because her legs are very bad and she can't walk far. She needs a new car, but I don't have the money just now.
Meg: But Craig, that's easy! I can give you the money.
Craig: No, no. I can't take money from you, Meg.
Meg: Of course you can! How much do you need? 15,000? 20,000? Just tell me. You can have it tomorrow.
Craig: Meg, you're wonderful. How about 25,000? Just for two or three months, you understand.
