Evidence Giving

Learning activity 2
Evidence: Giving advice
These people are facing changes in their life. Read their situations below:
I am Gary. I work for an ONG called White Hands. I

support projects in rural areas from my office. I
really enjoy my job. Now my organization is
implementing a new system called "home-office".
Twice a week I will have to stay home and work
from my computer, or telecommute. My boss says
it will be a good change as we will be able to work
from home. I find it rather awkward. I live alone
and have nobody to talk with. Besides, all my
friends are at the office. I will really miss the social
interaction on those days. What if I can't find a file
Fuente: SENA and I need assistance from a co-worker? What if I
need to talk to my boss but he is not online?
I dont really feel comfortable with this new idea of telecommuting. I wish I
could come to the office every day I have done for the past 5 years.
My name is Amanda. I am a hairdresser. I work in a beauty shop in the north of
the city. I am a single mother and have two beautiful sons. Mike is nine and
Steve is two. While I work, my mother takes care of my sons. She has always
supported me. But now my mom is really sick. The doctor recommended her
moving to a quieter place. So, she is moving in with my brother who lives in a
small town. If my mother moves, I will probably have to quit my job as I dont
have anybody to take care of my kids. I wouldnt leave them with a stranger,
especially the little one.
I have some savings and I have considered

opening my own beauty shop in my
neighborhood so I can be near my kids. But Fuente: SENA
what if the business does not turn out well? I
could lose all my savings. I dont really know Fuente: SENA
what to do. I am afraid of the change.
Select one of the cases and write a 150-word letter to Gary or Amanda. In your
letter offer support and advice for the person you choose to try to solve the specific
problem this person is facing.

Include ideas and vocabulary related to flexibility and adaptability learned in the

ideas.

Dear Amanda
My name is Tatiana, I am a member of the SENA community. I read your story

and I want to give you some advice about your situation.
In my personal opinion I think it is a good idea to put your own business in your
neighborhood since you will have the flexibility to be closer to your children and
not neglect them, also keep in mind how much competition is the business you
are going to place in the area that you are, that is, how many companies of the
same class there are, I ask you to ensure more of how many companies there
are and the profitability will be the same, but if there is no you could place yours
and generate greater profits than you currently have and could help her mother
with her medications and give her children better opportunities to live.
Sincerely
Tatiana Herrera.

use when writing your letter. Good luck!
