Dear Kate,

   It s really good to know you are covering for me while V m away on the training course. Thanks so much. Knowing that you 11 be teaching the kids has made me relaxed. V m sure you' 11 get on fine with them. I thought I should leave you some notes on a couple of things that are planned for this week,and other advice that will hopefully see you through to next Friday!

Tuesday: The class is going to visit the Dinosaur Museum. Make sure they take their notebooks and remind them on Monday to bring a packed lunch and the entrance money.

Thursday: I ve promised them they can watch a

Disney DVD as a special treat. It’s in my locker.

There are some (活页练习;) go with it. By the way,don't worry about making

them — I'11 do it when  I'm back.

. You know,the head teacher is on the warpath about being late,so be warned!If you get to school even a minute past 8:15,she,s I likely to give you a real telling-off.

Seriously,though,you' 11 have a great week — the kids are wonderful. Don't let Mark and Jack sit together and you shouldn,t have any 出(纪律的) problems!Which reminds me,if you do have any problems,just tell the head. She's very supportive when、 comes to discipline. One last thing — could you leave notes on what you do,please?

                                             Best wishes, 

                                               Stef

     Peter Huszcz once taught in an agricultural college. In the 1990s,he moved to Canada. Peter started out washing dishes in a restaurant in downtown Ottawa. When the manager asked him to help out rolling meatballs in the kitchen,he soon learned how to do the job very well. But it was boring and Peter suggested that the manager should buy a meatball-making machine. When the manager told him there was no such thing as a meatball maker,Peter was quick to notice that something was missing in the market. Putting his engineering knowledge to good use,he quickly came up with a simple method — the Magic Meatball Maker.

     He was sure there was a market for his machine,but it took him ten years of hard work to find it. He had to take risks,but he believed in his idea,and he managed to persuade other people to believe in him too. A local manufacturer(制造商) offered to produce the first 1,000 units in return for

a share in the profits(收益) ,local shops offered to keep his meatball makers and a friend' s daughter helped him out with his first sales.

     But his lucky break came when he managed to persuade a TV shopping channel(频道) to help sell the Magic Meatball Maker. The channel broadcast a program about how the invention worked in the studio kitchen. Within minutes,they had sold more than 4 ,000 units.

      This was just the start. Peter had been right. He had said his meatball maker would bring him great wealth,and it has: more than two million dollars so far and it's till selling to thousands of American housewives all across the USA.

      Here,at The Clean Machine,our range (种类) of used vehicles has something for everyone. . Over the years,we have realized that used car businesses always go for big sales but seldom offer an acceptable level of customer service. We decided to be different from that and put customers’ interests first. Here are some of our attractive offers.

Low on credit(信用) ?No problem!

    If you want a used car but your credit score is in a bad state,we can make it easier for you!We know just how difficult times can get. That is why we do not do a credit check. We know that a customer' s credit score is not the only measure of his / h6r ability to buy a car.

In-house financing

       We offer 100 percent in-house financing to our customers and do not rely on third-party lenders. With this,customers also get a Buy Here Pay Here offer. For example,if we have a $5,000 used vehicle,we would typically require half the cost as a down payment. The remaining would be paid at $200 or so per month.

Low down payment deals

     Based on the number of used cars we have at the time,we even offer low down payment deals for some cars less than $5,000,allowing customers to pay as little as $ 1,000 as a down payment. -Call us today to find out just how close you are to owning your own car!360-423-7054
