Angela´s Writing Project 2: Complaint Letter

Atlanta Buildings

Calle 125 No. 33-42

Bogotá, Colombia

19 Sep 2010

Mr. Julio Medina
Administrator
Atlanta Buildings
Calle 125 No. 33-42
Bogotá, Colombia

Dear Mr. Medina,

My name is Teresa Higgings; I have lived in Atlanta Buildings for 10 years now, and have never had a problems with any of my neighbour. Last week, on October 16th, Thursday, my having-good relationships with neighbors changed.

Our neighbour, Mr. Andrés González, apartment 302, was throwing a birthday party, which, I acknowledge, is one of the things you´re entitled to do in your own apartment. However, city regulations for community living state housing decibels should not be higher to 70, as it may disturb neighbours. We have kindly asked Mr. González to lower the volume of his stereo but we have repeatedly been ignored.

Being a weekday, and taking into account I work from home, my work performance has been greatly affected by his repeated parties because I have not been able to concentrate. To make matters worse, my sleep patterns have suffered a drastic change, which has also resulted in health problems.

Can I kindly ask you to summon Mr. González to show some consideration and respect for his neighbours? Would it be possible to establish any kind of sanction for neighbours who disturb others?

If Mr. González keeps disturbing the peaceful life we were living I am afraid I will need to resort to stronger actions.

Looking forward to your support as administrator,

Kind regards,

Teresa Higgings
Apartment 304

Written by Ángela Forero as a sample for her students.

Make Up Class 1

Dear Monday-Friday students,

We will NOT be able to make up for our Monday class tomorrow. We will make up for it NEXT Wednesday in Studium at 7 and at 10.

UP

¨Read until the end.....
you'll laugh....

This two-letter word in English has more meanings than any other two-letter word, and that word is 'UP.'

It is listed in the dictionary as an [adv], [prep], [adj], [n] or [v].

It's easy to understand UP, meaning toward the sky or at the top of the list,
but when we awaken in the morning, why do we wake UP?
At a meeting, why does a topic come UP?
Why do we speak UP, and why are the officers UP for
election and why is it UP to the secretary to write UP a report?
We call UP our friends,
brighten UP a room, polish UP the silver, warm UP the leftovers and
clean UP the kitchen.
We lock UP the house and fix UP the old car.
At other times this little word has real special meaning.
People stir UP trouble, line UP for tickets, work UP an appetite, and think UP excuses.

To be dressed is one thing but to be dressed UP is special.

And this UP is confusing: A drain must be opened UP because it is stopped UP.

We open UP a store in the morning, but we close it UP at night. We seem to be pretty mixed UP about UP !

To be knowledgeable about the proper uses of UP, look UP the word UP in the dictionary.. In a desk-sized dictionary; it takes UP almost 1/4 of the page and can add UP to about thirty definitions.

If you are UP to it, you might try building UP a list of the many ways UP is used. It will take UP a lot of your time, but if you don't give UP, you may wind UP with a hundred or more.

When it threatens to rain, we say it is clouding UP . When the sun comes out
we say it is clearing UP. When it rains, it soaks UP the earth.
When it does not rain for awhile, things dry UP. One could go on & on, but I'll wrap it UP, for now ........my time is UP !
Oh....one more thing:
What is the first thing you do in the morning & the last thing you do at night?
U
P!

Did that one crack you UP?
Don't screw UP.
Send this on to everyone you look UP in your address book..or not...it's UP to you.

Now I'll shut UP¨

Angela´s Project 1: Descriptive Essay

This semester I intend to produce the same writings and project assignments I ask my students to work on. Therefore, I will be posting my own written production, which you´re all invited to comment on. Our class´ first stage of the project is to write about a festival; this time writing about it as if we had been there. Here is my try:

Cologne: Multicolored Festivity to Warm the Frozen Heart

Kölle Allaf! This unencrypted message to some of us, Spanish speakers, welcomed me to the most incredible carnival ever. Freezing temperatures and the sounds of a language I barely understand did not prevent me from feeling the warmth of the people speaking it. Do accompany me through the streets of Cologne in Germany.

At 11 minutes past 11 on November 11th every year, Cologne streets are dressed with the most amazing lively tones to defy winter colors. Picture this: you standing in the middle of Cologne´s main street, you are definitely cold, freezing cold, not alone though, a human swarm greeting each other and exchanging both smiles and long thin cylindrical glasses filled with a bright straw yellow-hue liquid (that is right! beer!). Later, at a bar, golden after golden vial, which you can kindly reject by covering them with a beermat, are placed in front of you.

Out in the streets again there is no time for grieving, there is only time to be amused. Green, red, yellow, a full array of dancing ballons float to match the masquerade of multicolored festivity-goers who populate the already busy streets to welcome the masters of the event: here he comes; peacock-tail crowned; chain around his neck; a girdle with glitzy stones; a sceptre, which represents fertility, in his hand: the prince, who, in turn, is accompanied by his fellowman, the farmer, to finally let me awe in surprise as I see a graceful feminine figure, "thre Lieblichkeit," who is no longer a gracious being to me as she approaches to let me realize she is a he, which, my nice German host explains, is the way the virgin (one of the carnival´s main characters) is represented every year.

It is time for us to go back home; Cologne Carnival is not any closer to an end: cheering crowds will continue singing kölsch chants I will not be able to understand soon but which will forever make my heart feel alive and my love for Germany and their friendly people sprout.

By Ángela Forero Aponte (who has never been to the Cologne Carnival but wanted to do this writing exercise for her students).

*** Adjectives have been highlighted in orange.
*** Defining and non-defining clauses have been highlighted in purple.
