Mary began playing the violin when she was only six. Her father came across a really old instrument at his aunt’s house, and he brought it back home with him. Mary loved it and immediately tried to play it. After a few months she began to have lessons. She got on very well with the violin. When she was about eleven, she really needed a better violin. One day she took part in a concert, and a man went up to her parents and talked to them about her. He said that she had real talent and pointed out that she needed a better violin.

Xiaoyan, I thought you’d like to know what has happened to your report about improving the website. Last week I had a meeting with the designers. I gave them a copy of your report and I told them that we needed to have the website redesigned. -- I’ve had the first page simplified. -- I have asked them to make the icons large. -- The colours are now different too. -- There are more functions, as you suggested, so that customers will be able to transfer funds to an account in another bank. I’m going to make a presentation about these changes at the Paris, conference and would like to talk to you about that. There are some things I can do myself, but I would like your help with some technical aspects. I must get some slides made too, and would like your opinion about them.
