Next Vista for Learning Interactive ESL | Email Endings There are also other ways to end an email but this depends on the purpose and context of your email. Make sure to use something that will be appropriate for your situation. Don’t use TTYL (Talk to you later) or TGIF (Thank God it's Friday) to your boss or teacher unless you are very very close to them. But sometimes it's nice to end with Happy Holidays if it's around Christmas or New Years time. Good Job! Have a good one!

Ez a József-napi buli elég egyedi módon hozza meg a meleget, az elhivatott tűzoltók és megélhetési piromániások nagy örömére. A várost ilyenkor cirka egy hétre teletömik faalapra ácsolt, hatalmas, kartonból gyártott groteszk, szarkasztik-szürreál stílusban készült bábukkal, amik a lehető legkülönfélébb módon gúnyolják ki a társadalmat, a közszereplőket vagy a globalizációt. A skála elég széles: Chaplintől a terhes Hófehérkén át megjelenik Sárközy, a Supermannek öltöztetett Obama, Cristiano Ronaldo és Zapatero is (nyilván én pont nem a legérdekesebbeket találtam meg, de nézzétek el, a rendelkezésre álló órák kevesen voltak, a bábuk meg 700-nál is többen).
