Lesson 7
How do I link my thoughts together?Patrice: I have to use English a lot in my job and I often have to explain ideas to people, so I would like to learn interesting ways of linking my thoughts together in English. Often I think I am just saying one thing and then another and I realize that this can be boring for people listening to me. Do you have any suggestions for me?
Stelios Haji-Ioannou: And in fact, when people ask me, "Do you... I mean, you come from Greece - why didn't you start the airline in Greece" or "Why didn't you go to France or Germany or everything else", and one of the things I say is, that you know, Greece is too small, it's in the wrong end of Europe, and out of the big markets, the German, the French and the English, the only language I could skip... er... speak, was English, so I had to come to London.
