Dear Mr. or Mrs.
The propose of my letter is let you know that your article about the last event in Oldbury has many mistakes. I am one of the members who was arrested for participate in the last demonstration against the by-pass in our town. I just read your article about us, but I have noticed you did not write everything as it happened. I am not sure if you made a mistake or you just wrote your article with the propose to protect the by-pass. Well, let me remind you the article and tell you what you omitted on it.
As you said in your article, we did a demonstration last week where we were protesting against the building of the by-pass for our town. I want you to know what the reasons are for it, one of them as you pointed, is for the extinction of a rare species of snail, but it is also for the destruction of woodland. Second, in your report you estimated at least 200 people who met on the outskirts, but I think you forgot to put a zero because we were 2,000 people protesting.
Continuing with your disaster report, because I can not say anything better about it, you wrote that our protest was not peaceful and we were sitting on the road and chanted slogans at workers and police. Let me tell you that we were very silent at the moment of protest we do not like the other kind of protest. We are hard workers and many of us are residents from here.
I do not know which one was your source of information to do this article and I can notice you were not there. I am one of the person who participated in the entire demonstration until I was arrested and that happened at the end. I can be your main source of this matter. I would like you to interview me to fix this huge mistake against to us and moreover for our environment.
Yours faithfuly,
Jeannette Ulloa

TAKING THE CRIME IN OUR HANDS
As everybody knows crime has been increasing these years. There are believes that there is an intensification in the crime when the economy suffers a reduction the poverty increases and as a result we have crimes. But it is not the only reason for crime there are others like cyber crime, vandalism, murders, burglary, etc. Currently, this matter has become in a huge problem for the government and our society. Our duty is to give the fight against crime for our own welfare and protect our families.
We are able to combat the crime. Everything starts at home, so parents are the first people who instruct them to become in good people respecting the property of the others. We need to push people who make the law to change it, and we need to think that every criminal is different and as different they need other kind of penalty, and the latter should be rough.
As citizens we have the obligation to report if we are getting involve in a crime, for example: if there is a group who is breaking everything we can call the police, if we know that a member of our family is becoming in a criminal we should go with an specialist who can give us some advices about it and we can take the problem away. We need to stop to be a victim or passive people who never do nothing it is a community problem and all of the battles can be win if we are together.

Letter
Dear Helen,
I just receive your letter this week. It was a great news because I did not expect I could win a prize, because I have been thinking it has gone two weeks so did not win. Anyways, how i did not expected the prize I have not had arranged anything, so at least I need an entire month to organize myself and my documentation to go abroad and I think on July first could be a good date to travel.
Considering you asked me which kind of accomodation I would like. Well I prefer tents because I have had previous experience with those, I think it is going to fill my supplies there. So thanks for ask me.
About activities I would prefer swimming as first instance, I like to get relax in the water. I have been a good swimmer all my life because in my country there are a lot of rivers and lakes and in my holydays I always go to the countryside to camp and swim as my favorite activity. And my second option it is photography, I think you already have a notice about me I love nature and I love taking pictures to all of the places where I have been.
Before to go there, I would like to know how much Iwill spend there or how much I need because I do not want to be a cheap. About the clothes I know it is going to be summer or already it is but as you know the wheather is differnet in every place so I would prefer you to tell me about that.
Yours sincerely
Jeannette Ulloa

Informal Letter
Dear Christine,
Hi, how have you been? I've been busy these days I believe you are trying to know why I disappeared from the internet. Well, September is an important month for my country because we celebrate the first government meeting, it's like July 4th for you. In Chile we celebrate the whole month listening typical music, it's folklore, we decorate everywhere with Chilean flags, we dance Cueca, drink Chicha, or wine we make barbecues, empanadas as tradition. Cueca is the name of the dance, Chicha is the name of a typical drink, and empanada is similar to pasty pie it's delicious. So, how you can see, I went to many parties in these days we name them Fondas the parties of course. As I told you before we celebrate the entire month but there's a week when we go to Fondas, and fair to enjoy with the family. That’s why you didn't see me connect to the messenger. indeed, I met my family, I went to the fair with them we really had fun there. I hope you do not be worry about me I'm ok.
Regards,
Jeannette

Lost in the dark forest
This summer I went to the countryside with my boyfriend. We rented a house in the middle of the forest. At first everything was gorgeous, but I stood up and I started to look around, and I found a dreadful path. I had never seen something like that before. So, the next day we decided to explore it. We got inside the path when suddenly the forest became dark, frightening and odd things started happening in the deep forest. I could hear animals roaring and people screaming with a painful feeling, and then I felt a cold shivers on my back, I was holding up my boyfriend’s hand when he disappeared. I was lost, scared, and I did not know what to do. I stood up to calm down and looking for my boy when I saw split blood in everywhere……
