This is a letter where I am complain for a bad service
Dear Sirs COSTA HOTEL
I am writing this letter to express my displeasure at the poor service I received yesterday, July 1, 2014 in COSTA HOTEL, according to ABC-12345 reservation number. For me, this would be one night of comfort in a five star hotel, listed as one of the best hotels in the city. However, this was one of the worst experiences I've had in hotels in this category.
When I entered to my room I realize that the air conditioning does not work and the room was dirty. I spoke with the staff to ask to be moved from room and they told me they had no rooms available and that the maintenance staff would solve my problem. Finally, they were able to repair the air conditioner at 1 am and to clean my room, not caring that I had an international flight the next day and I needed to be at the airport at 4 am and I couldn't sleep or rest as was my goal.
I would like a full refund of the cost of the room as soon as possible, otherwise, I'll talk to my lawyers and I'll complain about you publicly. I look forward to your prompt reply or my lawyer's called.
Please, help me to learn English :)

Composition about some reality
Desafío” is a Colombia reality show produced since 2004. One of things more important is that competition develops at sites near to the sea and in different cities of the world like, Colombia, Panama, Dominican Republic, El Salvador, Senegal and Morocco. Any Colombian citizen can participate is this show. Each year they select those who will be at the show through a casting that will test his strength, speed, skill, balance, strategies, values, commitment, teamwork, leadership, etc. The reality is focused on survival of the 24 participants, divided into 3 teams of 8 people, which are grouped according to their age, generation or geographic region. Principally, these people should try to survive in conditions of scarcity of food, water, often outdoors without sleep in beds, and then participate in group and individual battles, eliminating a participant weekly. Finally, the Colombian public decides the ultimate winner through their vote sent a text message according to their personality, values, collaboration with their team, sincerity and physical conditions. It is one of the few reality shows I like because they have real competitions

I was driving back home
A day after leaving work, came back to my house driving a pickup truck. In a corner near my home, I stopped with the red light traffic light. One man waved his hand to take in the van. I said no, of course! However, the man climbed into the back and sat on the edge of the corner. I looked the man in the mirror and had a bottle of beer and was drunk. Oh, my God! Do not know what to do. I thought ..... And if I go to change the route. Immediately I turned on "U", and as I braked the man could get off. Apparently he did not like the change of plans.

Part 2 - Let me know the mistakes
In addition, Edward de Bono, maltese psychologist at the University of Oxford, in his book The Six Thinking Hats, says that colors have a great power in the life of people and how they face problems. He groups the colors into three antagonistic pairs: white - red, black - yellow and green - blue. Each color represents a way of thinking and has the power to deal with problems: objectivism - intuition, pessimism - optimism and creativity - control, respectively. In short, the power of color is not only limited to fashion or decoration, but extends to the human personality and way of thinking.
Concluding, I think that colors can mark people’s life, it´s a perception issue; the most common example is the belief that boys have to wear blue and girls, pink. However, individual attraction to the color is intrinsic to each person and the most important is to know how to take advantage of the results of all these investigations to get more benefits to the use of colors in our personal life, in our relationships, in our work and in our businesses. Supporting this, we can quote Joseph Albers when he says: "Any color perception is an illusion ... We do not see the colors as they really are. In our perception, can be converted to each other so that two different colors look the same, for example, or two identical colors, different; or opaque one looks like transparent and concrete forms become unrecognizable”.
