What I mean is, the words used in the emails went beyond of a properly student-teacher relationship, (no comma)since, it is possible to see that the students talk to the teacher as a friend (1st case), moreover, they have a lot of confidence with her because they explain personal details that a teacher should not know (2nd case). Therefore, those emails are the counter side of giving reasons and talking with teachers.]]> 2022-08-27 15:02:30 UTC https://padlet.com/uniandes/ln30n9okw6c5npus/wish/2273426234 Luisa Castro lfcastrom11 https://padlet.com/uniandes/ln30n9okw6c5npus/wish/2274989948 In my view, none of those e-mails are appropriate. Firstly, the language and tone used in the first one is inadequate, even rude. Our teachers are not our friends. Since we are in an academic context, our relationship with the educators must be polite and respectful. In addition, although the second e-mail is honest about his situation, I think he could be more formal in his writing. All in all, before sending an e-mail(comma) we must prepare the content carefully.]]> 2022-08-29 16:22:58 UTC https://padlet.com/uniandes/ln30n9okw6c5npus/wish/2274989948 Mariana Corredor https://padlet.com/uniandes/ln30n9okw6c5npus/wish/2279156289 I would say those emails don’t look appropriate and are disrespectful with the teacher because(it/that) is not the way how we should talk to them.
Starting by the point of the composition, which is not the best in both cases, making the emails lack of seriousness even though they have an “excuse” explaining why the students couldn’t attend classes so as a recommendation, I think that would be better not using some informal words or omit others that aren't necessary and just give a formal and elaborated explanation with a better language. 
All in all, we should consider the way we write and communicate with our teachers not only in emails but in real life and every moment. ]]> 2022-09-01 11:55:38 UTC https://padlet.com/uniandes/ln30n9okw6c5npus/wish/2279156289 Andres Torres https://padlet.com/uniandes/ln30n9okw6c5npus/wish/2279734189 According to the first email, it is written in english. (this idea is not clear).  The arguments that he gave to us are inappropriate in the way of how he speaks to a professor. Also (comma)he has gamattic (grammar problems)issues on (in)the email like the abbreviation of words when they can not be used in a formal situation. 
(In the) The second email, we witnessed that he is in the area near the university, So he can go to the medical center of the university to check his illness and dont (not)be exposed to (a)dangerous one. In addition (comma)he has to be more direct when it comes to being an excuse for an absence.

So, having that clear if you write with few details is (a)better option than being as specific as (and) weird. Secondly, It´s important to understand who you are writing for, (to)I mean, it´s not your friend, it´s the teacher, you can not be s informal as you are normaly.

However, I defend the idea that teachers are at the same level of students, so to me, skip (skipping)some “bureaucratic” formalities is not a big deal.  In short, people should be careful, direct, and respectful writing academic emails, avoiding personal affairs, nonetheless, using a strictly academical and formal language isn´t essential for writing emails.

First, the subject of the message could be more formal and specific explaining the reason of the email. In this case we could use a subject that would say “excuse for not attending class”. Second, the words used in the email are not the best for the situation, as a result, the message loses all formality and trust. In conclusion (comma)these messages may be more appropriate if we are careful with the words we use and understanding the formality to who it is addressed.]]> 2022-09-02 15:34:30 UTC https://padlet.com/uniandes/ln30n9okw6c5npus/wish/2280874584 David Zimmerman https://padlet.com/uniandes/ln30n9okw6c5npus/wish/2281218661 From my standpoint, I don´t think the way these emails are wrtitten (written)is the way you should aproach to a teacher, the text looks very inappropiate (inappropriate) and if so, it can be seen as disrespectful. To add, they lack of necessary information such as the name of the person who wrote the email. We can see that in the way these emails lacks of important information, they also explained more than they should with some  personal details that the teacher should´t (shouldn't) know. To conclude, this is not the way you should write an email with important purposes and even the way you should adress (address a)to a teacher .]]> 2022-09-02 23:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/uniandes/ln30n9okw6c5npus/wish/2281218661 Verónica Marin https://padlet.com/uniandes/ln30n9okw6c5npus/wish/2281291143 From my stand point , i (I)believe this is a badly (poorly)written email , considerando (Spanish????)you are aproaching (approaching) a teacher , therefore , you might have to adress (address)them in a more formal and respectful way . It was indeed correct that the student expressed that he was going through sonething(something) , nevertheless , he could have comunicated (communicated)this in a more specific and academic way . If you have a problem , you should tell your teacher , nonetheless , always remembering to respecto (respect)certain boundaries that one must take into account.
This email coud (could) be appropiate ,(approrpiate) but for someone else , not when speaking to a tecaher (teacher) in a academic context .]]> 2022-09-03 02:21:23 UTC https://padlet.com/uniandes/ln30n9okw6c5npus/wish/2281291143 Leidy Lozano llozanof4 https://padlet.com/uniandes/ln30n9okw6c5npus/wish/2281334507 From my point of view, neither of these paragraphs are appropriate for an academic context. While teachers are equals to us, we must address them with certain formality given that we don´t know how they will react to our approach, using formal and neutral expressions is the safest option to go with. In conclusion, talking to teachers with honesty is a good practice, however (comma)we must be careful with the way we do it, trying to keep it neutral, respectful, and direct if possible.]]> 2022-09-03 04:20:47 UTC https://padlet.com/uniandes/ln30n9okw6c5npus/wish/2281334507
