Publisher's summary

A short sarcastic story, a detective line, written as an aid to making the English language study process a little bit more bearable for adult learners. The story contains approximately 800 words from key topics such as clothes, food, politics, office, sports and gym, transport and business that are required for everyday communication. The story is written in slightly simplified English to allow the learner to recognise and memorise grammar structures easily. It is a useful and enjoyable supplement to the course materials for Elementary and Pre-Intermediate levels.

The story contains approximately 800 words that are required for everyday communication. Each word appears in the text several times so that the learner can become accustomed to its meaning in context. I aimed to include words from key topics such as clothes, food, politics, the office, sport and recreation, transport and business. I also used some common English set expressions, proverbs, quotes and lyrics from famous songs. The story also features numerous dialogues.

«The greatest textbook ever written. Damn near genius.»—Ignaty’s three-year-old daughter

Abstract

Guadeloupe is a paradise on earth. Due to a number of factors, this island state, now independent of France, has not suffered the financial crisis, which hit the rest of the world. Strict rules regulate how the bankers work and they seem to enjoy this. George has been working in the National Bank of Guadeloupe for ten years. Every morning he comes to the office, switches on his computer and listens to the voicemail that says in a nice female voice: “You have … no new messages”. He enjoys his small rituals as much as he enjoys singing. But one morning the old world was destroyed by a single email from overseas, which led to a series of events, a wave of new thoughts and unexpected encounters…
