Hi David, it's me, Juan. I write this email because i need your help. I hope you're doing well. I've been going through a difficult time lately. I lost my job how teacher in the University Central of Ecuador, in this Collage it's been hard to stay positive. Could you give me some advice on how to handle this? I think I might be able to learn new skills during this break, which could be a good thing. Maybe we could meet at the café on 5th Street this weekend to chat about it. Let me know if that works for you. Thanks in advance!

Good night, Anita
ResponderBorrarI am writing to you because of the meeting that I could not attend, due to my state of health, since I feel unable to speak in public, because I am hoarse
In addition, I have thought that we will change it to Tuesday and it could be in the assembly hall, as many people will attend and, in this way, we can be more comfortable
Thank you very much for everything. I look forward to your response.
Cordial greetings

ResponderBorrarHi Oliver. How are you?
You know, I have a problem that is giving me a headache and I would like some advice. At my Faculty they are requesting a last minute requirement, right in my last semester. I need to do community work, but I'm working and I don't have time. Community work is mandatory and I don't know how to solve it. What do you advice me to do?
Write to me as soon as possible, I am very scared with this situation.
A hug.
Hi Oliver, How are you? I have a problem that’s been causing me a lot of stress, and I’d really appreciate your advice. My faculty just informed me of a last-minute requirement in my final semester.

The community service is mandatory, and I’m not sure how to handle this.What would you advise me to do? Please write back as soon as possible—I’m really worried about this situation.

Hello Juanfer, I'm Danny, I'm telling you that I'm going through a difficult situation. I'm close to graduating and I haven't finished English yet. Do you think I should send a request to the career department so that they can send the paperwork for the degree? You, who have already gone through this situation, could help me with the application requirements and if you could meet us at the stone and go leave the application together, you who get along better with the secretary. I await your response
ResponderBorrarHello Juanfer, I hope you’re doing well. This is Danny. I’m reaching out because I’m in a bit of a tough situation. I’m close to graduating, but I haven’t completed my English requirement yet. Do you think I should submit a request to the career department to begin the paperwork for my degree? Since you’ve already gone through this process, I was hoping you could help me with the application requirements. Also, if you’re available, maybe we could meet at "the stone" and submit the application together? You have a better rapport with the secretary, so I think it would help.
BorrarLooking forward to your response.

I am writting you because I have a new problem with the laptop that you borrow me. Could you tell me how I should sync with my phone? I want to keep some videos.
Also, I'd like to know if in your free time you can assist me with a virtual meeting for organizating some folders that you haven't deleted yet.

I tell you that I have a problem with my pet. My dog got sick and I think you could help me because you study veterinary medicine. Yesterday, I was eating a chocolate cake and I gave some to my dog. This situation makes me very sad and worried, I shouldn't have fed him that.
I would like to see you so you can help me with that problem.
We can meet tomorrow at the Magdalena station that is in front of the "El Coral" supermarket. I will be there at 10am, and then go home.
See you soon Kevin.

ResponderBorrarGood night Angie! How are you?
I’m writing this email because I feel so bad with a problem that I have. Can you help me? You can tell me your ideas about it.
First, I tried to buy my English online book with my debit card. The online page of the bookstore notified me that the pay doesn’t exist so I decided to call my bank and tell them about the debit of the money from my bank account. It was twenty dollars.
Now, the bookstore manager tells me that the problems is in my bank and the bank manager tells me that the problems is in the bookstore. Neither of they wants to return the money that I lost.
What should I do? Should I try to resolve with my bank? Who should I go to?
I need to meet up with you. I think it is better at our favorite restaurant at 7 pm on Saturday. The restaurant is located in the north of Quito. On clemente Yerovi Street.
Thank you for your time. I hope to see you soon.

ResponderBorrarHello, Ricardo. I am writing you because I have experienced some events that have made me reflect. I am going to take a vacation. Why? Because I feel exhausted from work. I need to find my passion. Being in the city is stressing me out. Here, time is like a leaky faucet. For that reason, I am going to visit my family in the Amazon. First, I will visit the rural areas of Ávila Hiruno, and I will also go to enjoy the river. I would love to fish, you know how we loved that. Do you think it would be a good idea to stay permanently? I also have professional opportunities there, or is it nostalgia that is driving me to make the trip?
I will wait for your answer, dear friend.
