PC-case issues Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to you to complain about a PC-case that I bought recently in one of your shops. It does not work as advertised, so I'd like to return it. I ordered SuperSilent-9000 PC case on 4th of September 2017 in the shop in Longest Street, 49 and paid in advance. A week after that, on 11th of September, I came into the shop to receive it. The case seemed fine, so I took it and drove home. I assembled the computer into the case, turned it on and noticed a noise coming from the case. It turned out that it was a dust filter at the bottom of the case. It must fit closely, but it doesn't. I was very suprised to hear noise from the case which model name contains the word "silent". I called to the shop to complain about the case and return it, but the shop employee said that they wouldn't take it back because the noise is made by HDD, not the case. As you might have guessed, I am not satisfied with that answer. I insist on returning my money for the case or fixing the dust filter issue. Otherwise I will be forced to write a complaint to Consumer Commission. I am looking forward to hearing from you. Yours faithfully, Mr. Agafonov.

Problems with hot water Dear Madam, I am writing to let you know that I am unhappy with my living conditions. I and my flatmates don't have hot water for three days which makes it really uncomfortable for us to live in the apartment. I hope you consider my situation favorably. Let me explain my situation. The trouble started three days ago on Friday. I came home and tried to take a shower but there was no hot water, so I had to use cold one. I asked your workmen to fix the problem, they came to us next morning, but they weren't able to do anything about it. I think that it is unacceptable to pay that amount of money without being and to wash in the morning, take a shower, and do the dishes, after all. Would you kindly talk to workmen so that they could repair the tubes? I would much prefer to be able to wash my face using hot water from the tap instead of using a kettle to boil some water every morning. As an alternative solution, I don't mind moving into another apartment as long as it has no problems with water. Thank you for your consideration. Yours faithfully, Gennadii.

My hobby My hobby is origami. Origami is an art of paper folding. When I was at junior school, my teacher showed students how to fold a sheet of paper to make a figure like a parrot or a crane. I really liked it and I asked the teacher how to make any other figure. She told me to get a book about origami in the library. The book contained a lot of instuctions of how to make different figures. I got the book and made every figure in it. Then I thought that it was too easy for me, so I asked my parents to buy me another book about origami. There were a lot more complex figures therein, but I have made all of it's figures and I enjoyed it a lot. After that I was bored and stopped making figures for some time. Later, when I was at high school, I got an access to the internet, so I searched for new, more complicated figures. I found an instruction of how to make a pegasus. I spent a lot of time to make it but I was unable to finish it because notebook paper that I used was too thick. I tried to find thinner paper, but what I discovered was that I have to make it on my own from aluminium foil and very thin paper. It was too hard for me so I gave up. The pegasus is the last figure that I've ever made.

Day 1 Today I got up at about 9am. The alarm clock rang twice before I woke up. I made myself some eggs and a cup of tea. I read the news on the internet while I was eating my breakfast. I brushed my teeth, washed my face and dressed up for work. After that, I put on my headphones, put my phone and a charger into my bag, left the house and went to the bus stop. I waited a couple of minutes before my bus arrived. I decided to went on that bus to another bus stop to take another bus because I didn't want to wait for direct route bus. So I did. I arrived to work at about 11am. I met my boss at the door and said hello. After work I went to the bus stop nearby the office. Then, I got on a first suitable bus and went to the bus stop on Abc street. Then, I walked home for ten minutes. When I got home, I made dinner, ate it, and went to bed. The end.

About myself My name is Agafonov Gennadii. I live in Ulyanovsk, Russia. I have lived in Ulyanovsk my entire life since I was born here in 1991. I have been interesten in tech and computers since I was 10, when I was given my first computer. It was old and slow, but I could play some videogames on it. I coulndn't play any modern games on it, so I was depressed. And then my classmate gave me a tutorial about HTML so I could make a webpage. Then I found a book about BASIC, which is a programming language, in my grandfather's library and I learned it as my first programming language. Then, when I was at high school, I suddenly met a guy who was studying Computer Science. He gave me a book about Delphi, which is also a programming language. Then he told me that I should go to university to study Computer Science too, so I followed his advice. I finished university in 2014 and after that I got a job at IT consulting company, where I worked for 2 years. Then, I got a job offer from another IT company so I quit my job at the first company and got a job at another and I still work there.
