 Re: "in a word"
In fact, come to think of it, you can have a lot of fun with the phrase 'in a word'.
For example:
In a word, the adverse impact of tight monetary policy and high interest rates on domestic demand and bank lending, which have been used to stem rapid exchange rate depreciation, is amplified by high corporate debt and can therefore worsen the corporate sector's financial situation.
You could even use it to start off a 3-hour speech!
Dave, I suggest you print out this thread and show it to your students! |
