REPORT

To: University Director
From: Carolina Vásquez Ibacache
Date: December 4th, 2009
Subject: Suggestions for the Common Room


This report relates about the investigation that I did according with your intention to set up the new common room for people who are not in classes. I managed everything with some classmates. We investigate our needs and compare with the other common room.

The advantages for a new common room are as follow: the idea is to have a peaceful space where as English students can have the opportunity of an entire environment of English, with the culture in an attractive, and comfortable place, because in our own country those places do not exist and we can have our own inside of the university. As everything we are going to have some disadvantages for example, we are not going to share so much with people from others career but in my opinion we have to emphasis in our priorities.

We would suggest the second floor because it is not so far from everywhere and it is not a popular place, room can be 422 it is the biggest one. Inside of the room we can have a modern British style where we can feel as in England, also we can have some drinks and foods machines, lockers and entertainments but everything in English. And you can put just one table, small sofas from everywhere and books.

It is a fact that we need an English environment for relax ourselves and do not stop learning. For this project you have our support considering that this is going to be for us.

formal transactional letter

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to inform you that I was very dissapointed with the newspaper report that appeared on Monday, about a by-pass for the town of Oldbury. There are information and details about it that are falses. I am sure about it because I attended it demonstration.

Firstly, the protest was made with one objective To protect woodland and avoid the destruction on this place there was over 2,000 people gathered all people want to defend the town of Oldbury.
Another false information published for you was about the chanted slogans on the road because our demonstration was peaceful and silent people whom participated in this demonstration are local residents and they don't want that that place change.

I don't know which was your purpose to published false information I thought that this newspaper was serious and professional. I consider that the reporters were very irresponsibles.
I and the other people can be your main source for that I available for an interview to discuss te points that you have doubts about the demonstration.

Yours Faithfully
Carolina Vasquez

What can ordinary people do to help in the fight against crime?

Crime has become in a big problem for our society. In these years, crime has been increased because of the poverty, socials environment and families’ structures, and we can evidence that in television programs, or sometimes those just appear in front of us.

What do we do against Crime? The answer is nothing, we are just passive people who are involved with this problem, but we never do anything, because we are afraid of it. We live in society and as citizens we have the duty to give the fight against it. This is not only a government’s problem it concerns to all of us.

There are many ways which can help us to stop this trouble. To educate people about this problem is fundamental because we can show all of the disadvantages that crime brings. Also create communities in the neighborhood that support to each other in case of vandalism or burglary.

Do not bear that this people leave us living in the shadows. We are part of this society and we should walk around our streets with freedom of all of this kind of crime.

COMPOSITION.

It should be illegal for parent to hit their children.

In chile is not allowed hit or give a bad threat to children, it is a illegal action and the parents of children hitted can have a big problem.
To hit children is a crime because they are indefense people they depend their parents and the parents are responsable of the life of their sons or daugthers for that in Chile this action is punished. Also the bad threat psicological is punished but it is more difficult to know although the boy tell us what happen with him.
Furtherfore we have telephone numbers where you can say or reveal the bad threat that the children suffer in this way we can help them we are not allow the parents have the responsality take care of their children because they are not able.
In additional information parents can lose your role like tutor of their children and lose the contact with them.
In conclusion we have take concience about the take care of our children and try to educate them in the best way possible.
