    Hi Melanie, Grace keeps taking notes today and didn’t answer your question in time. I’ll ask her to concentrate on the conversation with you instead of not talking but writing.

    Thank you Melanie for the trial lesson yesterday. Although I am not a law student but I want to know more about legal English so Melanie explained how her lessons are going to be.
