Email to a newspaper about a factory To: [email protected] Subject: The new factory in Sutton Coldfield Dear Sir, I am writing in reference to the new car factory in West Midlands. I want to share my opinion with you and all readers. The factory is being built by a French company called Renault S. A. in Sutton Coldfield industrial park. The multinational automobile manufacture made an investment of six millions pounds to produce the new model Kangoo II generating five thousand jobs, which will improve the economy in the county and will reduce the unemployment figure. However, our area is already one of the most polluted, not even the country else of whole Europe. If we increase the gas emission, we will be an active part of the global warming, which is against our ethics and everyone in the nation who has made to grow up a philosophy of social ecology through non-governmental environmental organization, universities, schools, etc. In addition, a huge number of residents in the area are applying for a position in the company while other neighbours, who live close to the industrial estate, have already made a formal complaint to the council showing their discontented. Should you need any further information, please do not hesitate to contact me. Yours faithfully Diego

A Quick Quiz

Here I have three questions for all of you:

1. A bat and a ball cost £1.10 in total. The bat costs £1.00 more than the ball. How much does the ball cost?

2. If it takes five machines five minutes to make five widgets, how long would it take 100 machines to make 100 widgets?

3. In a lake, there is a patch of lily pads. Every day, the patch doubles in size. If it takes 48 days for the patch to cover the entire lake, how long would it take for the patch to cover half of the lake?

Enjoy it! :D

Letter of complaint 1: York's market 22 Brown Street York Y22 5ZT 14th March 2018 The Mayor Council of York 16 Long Avenue York Y45 6TN Dear Sir, I am writing to complain about the new plan to the old and lovely York’s market and build in there a HSBC branch and a shopping centre. I believe that your urban planning does not consider the future consequences of this action for the local business, forgetting all the effort which have been done by every local baker, farmer, fishmonger and butcher for years with their blood, toil, tears and sweat to keep it working it and increasing the tourism. In addition, sellers and neighbours made it bigger and bigger every year since nineties. The market always has offered the best quality in fruits, vegetables, free-range eggs from the most famous farms of Yorkshire and a hugest variety of pastries and pies in whole country. However, I understand the difficult moments we are passing through in our local economy for that reason I suggest to arrange a meeting with the different associations in the town, because if we work together, I am sure, we will find a solution. I would be very interested in knowing your comments regarding the above complaint. I look forward to hearing from you Yours faithfully Diego

Christmas: Postcard´s Time Yesterday I saw in the work that I had two letters with my name. When I opened this I saw two postcard with Christmas decorations with this message "Wishing you a very merry Christmas and a Happy New Year" from people that I have seen one time in my life. Then, I check the names of the other letters... Almost all of them had the same calligraphy. If everybody received a postcard with the same message, what value have this? Maybe it have enough value to calm the conscience of its writer or even this is personal nothing, it is only a part more of the consumerism culture of this country.

Ladybirds In my room ladybirds appear dead everyday. They lose their old intense colour which becomes brown… a pale and dirty brown. These also appear shrunk like if they would be suffering a unimaginable pain while dying. But in notwithstanding when I look them I still can feel their beauty from the past.
