Mark Griffiths
I have been teaching English as a foreign language since 1990, mainly in the Czech Republic and China. I have written several books on IELTS that have been published in China, selling over 200,000 copies. My work has also been used to create various apps which have been downloaded tens of thousands of times. The books that I will be publishing on Smashwords are updates of my published works, modified for the international market. The majority of books will be in the 'English 101 Series' which has proven so popular in China. The cover photographs on the Smashwords editions are all by the author.

1. A breath of fresh air
Meaning: used to describe something new, fresh and exciting
Example: How long have you been doing that job?
Oh, I only started this job last month. I felt that my previous job was a dead end. There was no chance of promotion. This new job is like a breath of fresh air. At the new company, things are done very differently and I feel that my success depends almost entirely on my own abilities.
Topics: work, travel, free time, outdoor activities, change, relaxation and stress
2. A fool and his money are soon parted
Meaning: it is easy to get money from a stupid person
Example: Do you like to follow fashion?
No, I think it is a waste of money. Lots of people like to follow it and spend a lot of money on it.
