I prefer buy here in this mall insted of going to the stores in the downtown, because here is easy, its no too big and you can find the stores fast and also if you are hungry you can go to buy something in the food floor.

Talking about sport clothes I preferd shopping there, in the pinck store.. which has a very good prices and quality

It is opens at 9am monday to friday, and at 10am at sunday, every day closes at 7pm.

A very good advantage is that this is an outlet, so you can have less amount for taxes and clothes in sale althoug it is alredy in discount.

I love to buy things in USA because if you dont like you can just return and get your money back and depens of the store you have a lot of time to do it. Nina.

The WhatsApp group has already been created by Dina so I will not create another one.

I also I am thoughtful. I like to give advice to people who need it.

1: I am kind, I like to show respect to everybody and make people feel comfortable.

2: I am optimistic, I always try to see the positive in all the situations of my life.

3: I am open mind, I always listened and respect different points of views, and I prefer to avoid problems.

        Italy

The stores are open Monday through Saturday 9am to 7:30pm. As you may know Italy is famous for their luxury boutiques, however there are also many great malls where you can find great deals. What really fascinating me is the markets where you can find all the products handmade. Italian markets are famous for people making deals. In Italy there is still the concept of paying cash, but of course you can use all forms of payment. Some special products making over there is Olive oil and Wine. Yes they have a tax which is getting around 20%, they also allow to refund and exchange clothes.

    My personality 

I'm similar to other interviewers. I Would describe myself as an open and honest person. I'm a hard working person. I'm not afraid of facing challenges. I'm approachable, friendly, I say hello when I see someone  and I am always willing to lend a helping hand. Being a good person helps society and everyone around us 

Epidemics are the most complex and dangerous issues in the world. For decades it's been  a big struggle for researchers and sciences. As we know recently we had a huge pandemic time Covid-19, with over 767 million cases worldwide.  It has  been very aggressive with a very large spread all over the world. I remember the moment when everything started. FIrst of all  the confusion and uncertainty that it could all be real. After that, the isolation and the fear. In those moments we were all  fragile and scared. I'd like to talk more about the system and sciences side. Epidemic viruses are very unpredictable, especially if they are mutated. Based on what we know, Covid was one of them. The health system was very efficient considering they did not have any data. The media has done an amazing job, punctuality they keep all of us well informed and aware of the danger faced. After 4 years we know that  Covid-19 is still a public health threat, however the situation is very comfortable and we can live our lives without major risks. As an individual I believe in science and people, no matter what happens in our lives we always have to face it with positivity and trust.

     Education is important to avoid troubles such as drugs, theft, violence and other dangers that can arise in society. Poverty and unemployment also increase. Lack of education causes few job opportunities which leads to looking for easy money. Despair and no alternatives can cause people to practice criminal activities. On the other hand, less educated society can contribute to intolerance and more prone to domestic and community violence. And all of this becomes stress that induces the abuse of drugs and illicit substances which causes even greater damage.For example, drug trafficking is a serious global problem because it often involves bribery, organized crime, violence, illegal money and public health problems. In conclusion, investing in education is not only about personal growth but also about creating a safe and successful society.

In this regard, I must say the folowing: The gerund is used to express an action in progress. Example "I´m reading a book right now"

1.- Poverty is not only the lack of money, in addition it can also limit opportunities and the possibility of a better future.

2.- A situation that we must stop immediately, or the destruction of the planet will be irreversible is global warming

3.- The quality of life and security of the population are affected because of drug trafficking demands in the world.

Global warming

Global warming is changing the earth’s life and bringing consequences, this problematic has increased from 1970 to now if we compare to the previous century. Two years ago, scientists said temperature will increase by 1.5ºC more until 2050 and it has predicted in 2030 during the summer season the ice at the North Pole will completely melt, so the sea water level will rise, and some countries will disappear. Droughts, hurricanes, decrease in agriculture, changes in behavior, extinction of some animals and illnesses are some of the terrible consequences that global warming causes on our planet. Also, the generation carbon of dioxide continues to increase due we are burning fossil fuels and electrical cars aren’t the solution because the production of lithium batteries form electrical car pollutes more than fuel cars. In conclusion, as humans we have to take this problem into account because it is in our hands to actively participate to stop its effects, if we want the next generations to inherit a world as we know it today or even better.

I recently purchased one coffee machine from your account by amazon.

The machine is very nice, works well, either doing normal coffee or using cups, the flavor is delicious, it can be made very faster, and it has a very good filter.

Everything was good except for one thing, I ordered this coffee Maker because I wanted to make coffee for at least 5 people, but it's just for 2 people or for 2 cups. It's very cute but looks like a toy, is very tiny.

It's annoying because when I ordered this the description of the product said it was for 8 cups and also it had discount for amazon prime, but I think this is the regular price for one coffee maker for 2 cups. I feel mocked to be honest.

If there is a possibility you send me the coffee maker for 8 cups for the same price would be great, otherwise I hope you understand my point and you be able to return my money to my account.

Cordially.

Nina.

To whom it may concern

I recently purchased a laptop (Hp 7-2547) from your store. 

It was with me one week ago, and it does not work properly.

The screen and operating system look great and are perfectly what I expected. However, this laptop's working unsatisfactory. The battery's draining quickly. Also, it looks old, such as a second hand. These problems are unacceptable.

Please send me a new laptop. If you are unable to replace this model, please return me the full amount. I paid for the laptop and shipping to my card.  

Sincerely,

Yesica Chacon.

I recently received the bill for April, and I have a question about my account balance.

I thought that the amount I need to pay this month includes my rent and the payment of the water bill for April. But the amount you sent me includes the payment of the water bills for two months (March and April). My having paid the water bill for March last month, I think the water bill for March was double calculated.

Can I ask your confirming for my account?

If you revise the amount correctly, I will finish my payment as soon as possible.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

I would appreciate it if you could respond promptly.

Wendy

To Whom It May Concern:

I am writing today because last week I bought a computer from your company, I paid $1000 but unfortunately your product doesn’t work well and is defective. I consider improper not to try your products before delivering to customers.

Also, I called many times yesterday and no one answered. This is unacceptable, you should have a customer service available for these situations ; you look very irresponsible company.  

To solve the problem, I would like you pick the computer up and return my money.

Sincerely,

Gisel

My name is Gabriela, I’m one of your tenants, I’m leaving in Purchase Street, apt 2R. One week ago I started to have  a water leak in my bathroom.

 I was constantly calling the office, However nobody answered the phone which is unacceptable and irresponsible.I’m very disappointed with your service, since I’m paying the rent on time and I have never caused problems.

I want you immediately to solve this problem, otherwise I have to take action against your company.

I hope you are keeping in consideration my request 

                    Respectfully yours tenant

 I am writing this letter to bring to your attention some issues that have affected my living situation in Via Castellana 40 Treviso, Italy. I have a problem with the bills arriving at the bank. I am now in the United States for work. 

This caused me considerable inconvenience and led to problems at the bank. It seems disrespectful to me that you tell me that I didn't pay the previous rent when I myself sent you copies of the invoices. However, now I'm sending them back to you this way so we're sorted. I thank you very much.

The fake news is misiformation that people think is true. A lot of fake news sites often advertise that their news isn’t real but people can believe in them .

The experts describe fake news like a type of propaganda.

The author ends the reading with two questions. He asks to us if we believe that fake news is causing misinformation or we believe that it’s only a trend. He ends asking to the reader which ways are the best to prevent fake news from trending. The answer that we can give is difficult because we don’t know too much about fake news, maybe we have to be less gullible.

Young people are less likely to see a fake news because they don’t use facebook as much their grandparents and parents and facebook users are more than twice are likely to see and share fake news
