rionegro Antioquia
people of Aguas de rionegro(waters of rionegro)
this letter is for making you know that the water is really dirty, sometimes when you are taking a shower the water begins to make it dirty and black, in some towns or cities you can drink it, but in rionegro is imposible drink water, maybe you can die for drink it.
many people give you letter or say you that the water is bad, but you dont do anything about it, you have to think that the clients are people that pay you for a good service.
thanks for read it.
PD:i'm waitng for a good water.
thanks eduardo antonio franco lara (tony)

Dear Teacher,
My best friend bought a new car last week. The car has a crack. The crack started at the windshield where it is bolted down so I think it is two problems: installation and material composition. To be honest she and I loved the body style and many other things about this when she bought it, but in the future she will make sure to notice these situations that these auto manufacturers try to get by with to cut costs.
We need a suggestion.
What do she do whit this car?
What do you think about this?

Manager, Elizabeth's ornaments supply:
Three weeks ago, I bought a desk lamp in your store but I discovered it was damaged when I used it at home. It started flickering and I saw that the lamp shade was chipped. The clerk sold me the lamp without testing it because he was busy and he gave me the closed box.I thought it was strange but I didn't say anything because I had my guarantee.The lamp is stained too. I think the lamp needs to be replaced but the clerk refused to exchange it. I hope you can help me with this problem and I expect to have a lamp in better conditions.
Please, respond in writing to:

I enjoy riding bicycle and many people say I´m a good in this. to be good ride, you need both a good bicycle and self-confidence. you need a lot of practice and have a great instructor .
some people learn to ride bicycle by taking classes or by following the instructions of the other people.I first learned how to ride bicycle by watching my boyfriend and helping his in the way.then you see away, don´t see the tire, and travel for a way very big and try to travel for a line. you need protect your head, hands and knees too.
learn to do it is very simple, very easy and you don´t need a lot of time for learn this.

Hello teacher, here's my comment:
For the cell phone dealer:
Last week I bought a nice cell phone, with nice ringtones, a 3.5 megapixel camera, 2.5 Gb of memory to store information and music, and other nice stuff. Two days after the deal, I was with my girlfriend at the museum trying to take some phtographs with the phone, but it didn't work propperly: the pictures we had taken was unfocused. I tried taking more photograps with the phone, but all of them had the same problem. I'd like to change the phone for a new one that works propperly, or take my money back. I'm waiting for yor answer.
Greetings!

¡Hello teacher!
I like very much the accessories like earring, necklace and bracelet. I enjoy making and combining these. If you want to make accessories you need dedication, creativity and patience; because you should dedicate very much time by make it and create new designs.
Some people learn to make accessories by taking classes or by seeing other people working with this. I learned to make accessories by taking a short course and by buying magazines about how to make accessories. In these magazines you can to see designs and instructions for to make each accessory.
More difficult about to learn it was you need to be very much careful because it is a hand work and the parts are very delicate. Don’t repeat designs, in moments, is difficult.

hello teacher
i like playing soccer, i am not the best but i think that i'm good for it, many people say me and offered me to be in a soccer team but i cant because i have a lot of homeworks to do i dont have time to play it.
if you are going to play soccer you need a lot of physical state and a good pair of tennis, but if you are going to be a professional soccer player you have to be very disciplined and you could improve it by practicing and watching to someone playing.
when i was a child my father gave a ball, and he told me kick the ball!! i every day practiced, when i was nine i started playing in FORJADORES FC, i was forward i trained there for three or four years, now i i am in the high school and i don not have time to practice and i got out the team because first you have to study.
the most difficult thing to learn for me is the technique of the ball, ande the easiest is shoting.

I enjoy playing the piano , since I was seven years old played it, to be a good pianist, you need to be very patient, perseverant and creative and the most important thing is the love and dedication for the music.
many people learn to play the piano by taking classes or by simply they born with this talent.
I learned how to play tha piano by taking classes, first I was learning at house´s culture and then with a private taecher , the most difficult about learning it was to coordinate the hands but persevering I got it and have made two concerts and on December I always played the carols in the novenas

I enjoy swimming, though I don't do it often. To be successful at it you need perseverance and self-confidence . You should practice a lot and not to be afraid from the water.
Some people learn to swim by taking classes or by practicing by themselves.I first learned how to swim by taking some classes and watching people swimming to imitate the movements. At first, I was shy with the water but then I became more confident because I could do the exercises in a right way. Well, I practiced each 8 days and I learned how to swim in different ways. In general, to learn how to swim was easy for me because the classes were kinesthetic, much practice and the teacher was patient with her students. It was difficult to me to swim face upward but I had perceverance and I could make it.

Martial arts
People would be a good harateka, taekwondoka or judoteka if they have discipline and take classes three or four days a week.
For practicing this hobby is necesary to follow steps and specific instructions.
There are two ways to learn martial arts:
Some people learn martial arts by taking classes or by reading books and practicing alone.
I enjoy practicing martial arts.
I first learned martial arts by taking classes in my school and practicing with my partners. Then I improve it by reading books.
The most difficult topic about learning martial arts are coordinate movements and to memorize the diagramas.

WRITING A letter of advice
Problem: I argue with my boyfriend all the time. I try to do nice things for him, but we always end up in a fight. I can't put up with this much longer - what can I do?
Frustrated.
Dear Frustrated:You should learn to control the temper, when you think that a fight will start, you should count from 1 to 10 and breath slowly. Talk to him quietly and try to solve the problems in the most tranquil way. If it doesn't work, both of you should talk about your relation, how much love you feel, what problems you have and why you always end up in a fight. If you realize that there isn't anything between you, you should finish your relation and be just friends, but if you realize that there's a good reason to persist, in the moment of a fight, remember why you fell in love.
With affection, Troublesolver

12)WRITING A LETTER OF ADVICE
I argue with my girlfriend all the time. I try to do nice things for her, but we always end up in a fight. I can´t put up with this much longer- what can I do?
MAKE A LIST OF SUGGESTIONS THEN WRITE A REPLY
one thing you could do is to talk with her and ask her why always is she bad-tempered? and why don´t you make an agreement for not making the tings that each one bother, and maybe you could be more tolerant and patient or have you thought about planing fun activities every week to forget for a while the problems? if the suggestions don´t show results the better idea would be you broke up with her

hello teacher here is my advice
zonia 34: hello i´m a single mother and i don´t know what to do with my child; he's very nervous and every night he want´s to sleep with me. at first i tought that it was a normal situation, but now hw is 12 and nothing change. i need a light please help me
sara,
one thing you could do is to take you child with an specialist, because it's not a common problem, or maybe you can talk with him and ask him why he is allways afraid.
why don´t you talk with his teacher maybe she can help you to look for the real problem. what about telling him of his father, kids needs to know some things that they don't understand.
take care

Sr Mayor
I am a citizen from this beautiful city and I am worried because people shouldn´t be so neglected about all problems.
There are a lot of problems here but one of the bigest is traffic jam.
first of all since that the treaffic lights were instaled, the city became in a confusion in an absolute caos.
Driving at downtown is so dificult, There are traffic lights on steets where aren´t necessary .
Goverments shouldn´t spend so money in unnecessary things.
The traffic lights should be retered and so the city traffic might improve.

Mr. Minister of Transport
Dear minister, nowadays I'm too worried, because the highway network in our country is in terrible condition, hence do not understand, where resources are invested, the government has intended to maintain highways departmental communication.
It is sad to know that negligence on the part of many national organizations, has resulted in impassable highways.
I invite you, to a tour of our country and understand how the current state of the highways, and take the tools to improve mobility across the national territory.

Dear mayor
I am a student of tenth grade but that wants very much her city, for this I want to raise some problems that having the this city. They are great but only I will say some in order which he could help us.
I believe that the young men are the fundamental topic and you should him dedicate more time; educating them, informing them, on the consequences of the problems in which they might fall down.
Also it seems to me the displaced ones are an important problem since due to the violence and the unemployment they are taking the option to come for rionegro I imagine that in order to find better opportunities.
Also there is many beggarliness and this one is a delicate problem. These persons might go out forward if there was created a place in which they educate them, qualify them and them help in their needs or for they were rehabilitating. And this way they will be able to achieve more sources of work.

DEAR ANDRES LÓPEZ
Secretary of traffic
I am motorcyclist, and I think that is very important that the people wear the helmet all the time because this is a way for avoid the accidents.
I think that is very important that the traffic has a line of emergency because many people need call this line for request help in any moment.
Sometime the motorcyclists are imprudent because they drive between cars and they cause accidents between the people on the car and the couple the motorcycle.
I have a suggestion about the people drive with more people that the law allows: you should force the people for assist to different conferences for this people take aware the danger that they cause with more people in motorcycle.
I think that this strategy is very interesting for all the own and this plan prevent more accidents.
Thank you for you attention
