    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
    and I need assistance from a co-worker? What if I
    Fuente: SENA
    need to talk to my boss but he is not online?

    I don’t 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 don’t have anybody to
    take care of my kids. I wouldn’t leave them with a
    stranger, especially the little one. Fuente: SENA

    I have some savings and I have considered Fuente: SENA


    opening my own beauty shop in my neighborhood
    so I can be near my kids. But what if the business does not turn out well? I
    could lose all my savings. I don’t really know 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.

    Aspects to consider:

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


    the study material. In the letter, underline the ideas included. Include at least
    3 ideas.

     Use the idioms learned in the study material. Use at least 3 idioms.

     Use connectors and punctuation.

    Here is an example of an informal letter. Look at the parts your letter must have:

    November 12, 2014 Date

    Greetings Gary,

    My name is Liceth, I am from Colombia and I read about your situation on your work, I want
    to give you some about advice about it if you don't mind.

    In my personal opinion I think the home-office is a good way to work, I know it will be
    awkward because you had always work in your office but with the time you will get used to
    it and you will see the positive side of your new situation. You can manage your schedules in
    a more convenient way and you can use that time in a positive way, I think you will have
    more time to do another things that you like, you can do some sport, go to gym but if you're
    at the office all day maybe you will not have time to do it.

    As a conclusion I think soon you will be confortable working from your home, with the time
    you will get used to it, you need to be more open mind and then the things will be more
    easy for you.

    Sincerely,

    Liceth Rueda
