WRITTING Assignment 2 "The advantages and disadvantages of living in the city or countryside"

I am going to start pointing out the advantages and disadvantages of living in the city or countryside. One of the major advantages of living in the city are the number of jobs available and the commute to those jobs together with the convenience of public transportation because the citizens have better transport facilities than the people in the countryside have. Villagers need to drive a car to get some canned food because shops are far away from their homes but they always get fresh vegetables and fresh fruits.

Living in the city is fun because there is always something of excitement going on and there are many places in which you can meet with your friends. However, in the countryside you have more friends since It is small, they live in unity and peace and the air is fresh, full of geen hills so the scenery is so calm and beautiful though in the city it is noisy and busy, leading to a bit of stress.

Therefore when you live in the city you keep up with new developments in your profession as well as there are more opportunities for people to progress in their lives and they have more chances for making money.

Coosing where to live depends on your personal preferences, status in life, marital status, and your goals in life.

Do you prefer living in the city or country?

I am a city mouse so I do prefer living in the city because I was born in the city town so It is by custom to like a crowded city where everybody is in a hurry. The good thing about it is that I have lot more opportunities living here, concernig health, work, entartainment, choosing among a variety of different places without looking at the same people wherever I go.

Assignment 1: Letter of Complaint (Thursday, August 13, 2009)

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing this letter to complain about my shopping trip to Boulogne an nearby hypermarket which was a complete disaster because everything indicated in your brochure was not what was given to anyone on the tour.

On the one hand, we were only two hours in the hypermarket and the time was not enough to buy all the items we wanted due the crowds who were that day there, and we had to join long queues at checkouts..what was very unpleasant for me. Then, we spent just one hour in Boulogne and It did not give us time to eat in those charming restaurants because they were closed eventhough we did not visit the antique shops in which I was very interested to know.

To make matters worse, the conditions which we found ourselves in the coach were first of all unprofessional and the quality of it was disgusting, the toilet was filthy upon boarding it and the air conditioning was not working properly so it was so hot and on top of this there were not cold drinks at all.

As you see, I am very disappointed with the shopping trip and I am asking for at the very least a full refund so not even the arrival time was respected by Brighton Marina Coaches.

Yours fathfully

k. Carrasco

A day of quizzes August 11, 2009

I think of being a shopaholic is a major problem because they often buy unnecesary things, items or gadgets without existing a basic need to get them so in my opinion they do this action of buying unconsciously, if my advice will be of any help I ´ll tell them do not go window-shopping, do another activity instead of that one and if you go out...leave your credit cards, money and others at home so you are not getting into debt again.
