Really,I like this course because it drives me healthy when I see these new phrases. Yet, I’ll always use them in order not to make them fade away from my mind…actually, it’s so intriguing to use these new phrases Which are in the text and dialog…..

It is a very nice lesson :) 


Normally I use also coupons, but they are already printed and per post at house sent. Usually, they are valid for the biggest mixed stores (without the food to be included), for groceries we have only a big discount of some products.

So, systems which work in a real time are very popular. They open many opportunities for bisnessmen and users. For every bisnessmen the main goal is the customer’s satisfaction. They want to improve their products and marketing. Because of this, every year companies wich develop a new software or web application make a big money :)


In modern society everyone knows the fact that the Internet becomes the main marketing tool. People around the world wants to find the best deals as quickly as possible. Such system like ForkFly can help with this. It is very easy to find information in the ‘cloud’ just using your mobile phone or tablet. 


Personally, I am used to planing my purchases. I try to don’t buy things on the fly. I like coupons, but it takes a lot of time to look for them. Also I use online systems to find the best deals. I like sales. Who doesn’t like?

The English Baby´s team keeps outdoing itself. One lesson better than the other. I enjoyed this lesson very much. Keep up the good work and keep bringing us good material like this one. I´m not in the habit of using coupons simply because I guess they´re not that popular in my country but they´re a great idea and I´d gladly use them sometime. I´m not very good at functioning on the fly. I like planning ahead. Doing things on the fly gets me nervous.

Who doesn’t like to get good deals!?.... 


I don’t use coupons and it’s still a mystery for me.. I didn’t get it even after the lesson.. 


Functioning on the fly has specific times to act with… Usually I like to take my time and plan well, but if it needs to act on the fly, so why to wait!, just take a quick decision…

Actually everything in our lives is a big deal , Until  If you want to do anything small , For me I have never do any deal , because I’m poor person like many people over the world , In my opinion the business needs some specific things , money and lands and workers , Use your smile to change this world , don’t let this world change your smile this is a big deal In my opinion .

Thanks for lesson. I’ve learned some new words again ;) And to the questions –  I’m a planner, when shopping I have clear vision what exactly I want. I don’t like quick decisions :) And I use coupons, mainly to buy clothes, food and books. I love good deals, who doesn’t ? :D I’m student and “good deals” is my second name :D
