ResponderBorrarHi Milena,
I hope you're well. I’m struggling with a recent layoff. Could you suggest ways to stay positive and productive? I guess I should see this as an opportunity for new beginnings.
Can we meet at our favorite coffee shop on Main Street? It's two blocks down from the library, next to the bakery.
Thanks for your help!

Hi Byron,
I hope you’re well. I’ve been going through a tough time lately—my project at work didn’t go as planned, and I’m feeling quite stressed. On the bright side, it’s taught me a lot about resilience. Could you meet me at the café on "Coffee Factory" this Saturday? We could discuss some ways I might handle this better. Your advice would really help.
Thanks so much!
Best,
Luis Constante.
Hi Pedro,
ResponderBorrarI hope you're well. I’m facing a tough situation at work; I feel overwhelmed and stressed by the increasing workload. I’m being offered another position with a lower salary. Can you give me some advice on what to do?

Thanks for your help!

ResponderBorrarHi Evelyn, I hope you are doing well. I need your advice on how to handle a difficult situation. One of my friends, Carolina, has a bad temper and gets angry at everything. I am not sure how to deal with her. Could you suggest what I should do? Maybe I should try to talk to her calmly? Or do you think it would be better to end this friendship?
I think it is a good idea to talk about this in person. I will meet you tomorrow at 3:00 p.m. at Quicentro. It is a shopping center that is near La Carolina Park.
Hello Tomas
ResponderBorrarI hope everything is fine there.. I've been feeling a little down lately due to some personal problems. I think I should go out and have some fun. Can we go to Lorena's party this Saturday? Maybe socializing and having a little fun can help me feel better. I would also like to tell you the situation and give me some advice. What do you think?
Sincerely, Melissa Atiencia

ResponderBorrarHi, friend.
I hope you are doing well. I am in the last week of exams at university, I have a lot of studying to do and I have been having frequent headaches. What should I do? Maybe I should go to the doctor or buy some medicine for the headache. I had better just relax and not worry so much about the exams. I have good grades, so I am sure I will pass the semester.
Meet me at our usual cafe near the park. It is just a 5-minute walk from the main entrance, next to the bakery.
Thanks for your help! See you.

Hello dear Manuelle
How are you doing? I hope you are doing well. I am writing to ask for your advice. I have been feeling very sad these days and need to talk to someone. Maybe you will have some advice so I will feel better in the future.
Can we go to Gelatomix to talk and eat ice cream on Sunday?
Well, I am waiting for your answer.
With much love,
Dayana.

ResponderBorrarHi Steveen.
I hope you are doing well and happy.
Currently, I went through a difficult time in university and I would like to share what happened to me and I would like you to give me some advice. Despite the bad times I have always been strong. Would you like to meet at an ice cream parlor so we can talk? It is on five corners near the "TransForestal" taxi rank. I will wait for you at 6 pm. Your words and advice would help me a lot through what I am going through.
Thanks for being there.

ResponderBorrarI am going through a terrible situation.
I did not start proficiency in English on time, for this reason now I have to pass the last level of English as soon as possible because the degree process is approaching.
I am very stressed by this situation, could you give me some advice to improve my mood?
I need your help, should I wait for the next degree process of my major or should I keep hoping to graduate the current semester?
Surely I will be better with your advice.
Could we meet tomorrow?
If so, I will be in the faculty library at 10:00 a.m.
Hello Jose
ResponderBorrarI want to tell you what happened to me this week. I argued with my coworker about a shared job and since that day I have not felt well. I want you to recommend what I can do to stabilize our friendship.
It is a friendship of years and she is my co-worker. I would like to tell you everything over tea or coffee and also chat about the work situations in which I have been through with her. I would also like to invite her to lunch. I feel that I have been at fault and I would like to apologize.

ResponderBorrarHello friend, how are you? My problem is that I can't sleep at night. I'm stressed because I don't know if I will pass my research test. It's very stressful and I am very worried. Tomorrow, they will give me the results, and I need some advice on how to sleep. Should I call my doctor? or should i take something? I appreciate you advice, as you are my friend, and your support means a lot to me. I hope you are well and can help me.

ResponderBorrarHello maría. I'm writing to you because I need advice.
I'm taking college exams and I don't have time to go to the doctor. Lately I feel very sick. I haven't eaten well either. I am very worried and stressed. I want to go to the doctor but I don't have time. That's my problem. I don't know what to do. My sister tells me you should rest for a semester.
What should I do?
Take care. I look forward to your advice.

ResponderBorrarHello Mishel!
How are you? I wish that all in your life is good.
These days, I have had problems with my neighbor. First, my neighbor has a dog and his dog bark all the night. These days, I haven't made sleep as well. I should talk with my neighbor but he arrives to his house when I don’t stay in my home. I have talked with others neighbors for this situation and I have received advice such as I would use ear plugs in the evening. What I should to do?
Thanks, for your advices
See you soon.
