QUEBEC - WRITING A FORMAL LETTER/EMAIL by Helder Prado https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/p9w23067iymjfbve Write a letter/email en-us 2021-03-29 22:05:41 UTC 2021-05-27 22:46:28 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Folder.png The swimming pool viniciuspavao1 https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/p9w23067iymjfbve/wish/1551904543 Dear Mr. Manager

            I am writing about our local swimming pool be closed in this summer, it is part of our city culture to get together there to hang out with friends and family. We need this space to pass through this season more comfortably.

            I think you as the administrator of the place can handle some situations to reduce the cost of maintaining the place. The people of this neighborhood can handle to help to maintain the pool open if they have the right incentive.

            What happened to this structure that was always crowded to shut down suddenly like this? There is something that I as a user can do to help about it?

            I think we can talk to some companies to make money on their advertising right here in the pool. I can talk to the community to make a fund raising with a social action. Maybe it is enough to keep the pool open this summer.

 

 

I look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,

Vinicius, user of the pool and neighborhood resident

I am writing about our Student Cafeteria be closed in our college. This space is important because the students can hang out and have lunch there. I know that you are having problems with the provider, but we can solve this problem.

I know a provider and he told me that we can buy his products for a small price. If you close a contract until tomorrow, he will give a discount in the first 6 months.

Do you think it is possible to do this? Do you think this can make the student cafeteria stay open?

I think that if you don't agree with this suggest, some students will leave college more often and you will loose the oportunity to gain from this agreement.

Yours Sincerely,
Emely]]> 2021-05-24 15:57:29 UTC https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/p9w23067iymjfbve/wish/1554247970 About closing the cafeterias juliadauriaantuniassi https://padlet.com/lablinguasprof01/p9w23067iymjfbve/wish/1555277362 Dear Mr. Carvalho,

I am writing to express my discontent with the closure of the UEL student cafeterias. As a result, thousands of students won’t be able to buy snacks, juices, coffees during the break between classes at the university.

As you may know, most students use cafeterias to buy their snacks and drinks, and even more so, to have a moment of leisure and interaction with other students. If all cafeterias are closed, students will be left without these much needed spaces.

Instead of closing all the cafeterias, could you consider reducing the number of them by half? This way, students would still have some options of places to buy their snacks and coffees at UEL, without the need to bring them from home or stop eating during the class period.

In addition, the fact of reducing the number of cafeterias may mean more investment in those that remain. Students will be able to have a wider variety of products at their disposal, which would satisfy both parties.

 I look forward to your reply.

 Yours sincerely,

 Julia, a student of State University of Londrina

I am writing in the name of the Students Council of Agricultural Sciences Center to express our sadness about the decision of closing Sebastião’s cafeteria. We understand the necessity of closing the commercial and any grocery activities on the campus in the middle of a pandemic issue. However, we disagree with your magnificent decision because Mr. Sebastião has just this cafeteria to get his income. It means that our lovely university could be contributing to the financial crisis we already have in our city and country by prohibiting the micro-business people we have on our campus.

We understand the delicate situation and we bring you a suggestion to your evaluation to avoid the sad consequences of this closing action. Is it possible that the junior company and professors of Applied Social Studies Center from law and accounting areas could help to write a term of responsibility for the micro-business people, who just have this activity to obtain their provision, that could clarify their hygienist duties and the absence of presential attendance? We believe that with this legal declaration, these people can stay working without high risks to our inner community.

We hope your magnificent understand our worry to maintain the health security of our whole lovely community and safeguard our welfare which includes physical, mental, and emotional equilibrium

I am writing this letter to express my disappointment at the 3rd season of Gravity Falls being canceled. As you know, your serie was a sucess and by not finishing it you are letting a lot of fans upset and annoyed. Many people have watched your show since the beggining and followed the history developing itself through the seasons. As a result, these fans, like me, want a real ending to complete the story.
   There are a lot of studios and directors that can help you finishing the hole story. Besides this, you have countless fans that will certainly like, watch and promote a final season.  
   In addition, I still have some questions about this topic. Why was the TV show considered ended in the 2nd season, even with the uncompleted story? Is it possible to the fans have a expectation in a future ending season or movie?
   To conclude, I understand your doubt that if it is going to be an ending the fans will like or not, however I can assure you that independent of the ending, the people will definitely like a completed story. I would recommend that, if it is really not possible to make a final season in the TV format, you could end the story in some short extra episodes or a book, perhaps. This may be a way to finish the serie and end the fan's expectation.

With sincere appreciation, 

Duncan Zancanella, fan of the cartoon Gravity Falls

    I am writing to express my  dissatisfaction with Anne with an E series being canceled. Only three seasons were made but they were not enough to conclude the characters journey. The series did a good job portraying various topics that are still relevant in a sensitive way,  such as: orphanhood, bullying, racism, feminism, freedom of speech, mistreatment of the native people. It gave the viewers important life lessons and I think the fans want a proper ending to the story.
    Furthermore, there is a question that I want to ask: why did the show end despite being so popular?
    I am sure that other tv networks may be interested in continuing the story and I can assure you that the fans will definitely watch and promote the show and will not let it fail.
    However, if it is not possible to do a series, you could do a film instead to finish the character's storylines. If money is a problem, fans would definitely help with a crowdfunding campaign for the movie. What all the viewers want is a satisfying ending.

Best regards,
Isabela

       We are writing this open letter as a way to express our deeply displeasure about the closing of Penguim's Cafeteria last Thursday (20). So, in consequense of that dozens of employees were fired and hundreds of students lost their favorite place on campus.
       As all the UEL community knows, Penguim's Cafeteria is the only cofee shop near CESA (Center for Applied Social Studies). And because of the closing all students of economics, administration and law have had to go to the RU (University restaurant)  to buy groceries and snacks since last week. As a result, the students  and professors are losing a big part of their classes break.
       You may notice that a place like Penguim is extremely important to us because it facilitates our routine and promotes an essencial social interection. Therefore, we kindly ask for the reopening of our traditional cafeteria. Or at least allow food trucks to settle on campus to bring a little ease, rest and distraction to CESA's regulars.

We look foward for a change.

Yours sincerely,
CESA's students

Dear Mr. Manager

I am writing this letter to talk about our gym, it's an explicit fact that the space has been closed since the pandemic began. I know the present moment is difficult, but it is possible to open the gym with safety measures (like, using masks, one family per hour…).

The gym is important to us, because doing exercises is a relevant thing to stay healthy, and may help us to relax and forget the problems about this pandemic. 

It’s important to remember the city hall released the use of these spaces.

Do you think is it possible to do this in our “home”?

We are writing this letter to express our dissatisfaction with the news that the college cafeteria will close. This place is where hundreds of students, professors and workers eat and socialize every day. Moreover, is the only cafeteria near to the library, a place where we spend a lot of time, and we are going to be very harmed if this place close.

As you may know, as students our life is very busy, and we spend a lot of time studying in the library. Because of that, we do not have time to go to our houses to lunch or dinner. So, this cafeteria is the place where we can eat well and fast, and then go back to study. Furthermore, a lot of us live or work far away to the college and the cafeteria closing will result in too much money and time spent to go eat and then go back to classes. 

Besides of studying the social life in the college is very important, principally to relax and to know new people. To know new people is to do network, and today this is really required in the demanding labor market. In relation to the labor market, I still have a question: How about the cafeteria employees? Will they be fired? Do you know that the unemployment rate is very high in our country? The function of the colleges is not just to prepare the students to the labor market, but to generate jobs too. 

Thus, because all of that, we want to suggest to sale the cafeteria to another person or to open a new place where we can eat and socialize. This will lead to less money and time spent by the students, professors, and workers, and to keep the job of the cafeteria employees.

We look forward to your reply.
 
Your sincerely,
Some College Students.

I'm writing to communicate and try to find a solution about the notice that Azul Cafeteria will be closed by you, and as a regular customer is my duty send this letter to you in name of all the daily customers.
    As you may know, a lot of students don't have time to eat in home, therefore they buy their breakfast in Azul. If you need a place for the new storage you can contact some companies that rent a properly spot
for that necessity, and it's very cheep.
There are four of then at less then one hundred meters from university.Will you consider not closing Azul? Instead, will try to find another place to do the storage or rent some place?
In case that rent a place or build in
somewhere else is impossible, we can try to move the cafeteria to another place, or even adapt to a food truck Cafeteria.

Yours sincerely,

I am writing this open letter to express my disappointment about the closing of the Student Cafeteria of our school. It was a really good important cafeteria because all of the students of Brazilian High School used to have their lunch there. 

As well, the profit of cafeteria for school will exist no longer more. The project "Cafeteria Resist" will begin. 

However, this project may not win all of the students. Unfortanelly because our cafeteria is so important to us. But I am afraid that the Coca-Cola empire that is going to open is stronger than our little Cafeteria. 

Hope for the best, 
regarts,

In am writing to represent the disappointment of the students of Biologic Science Centre (CCB) with the news about the closing of the Original Cafeteria in UEL. As a result many students won't have time to buy snacks and drinks between the classes.

As you may know, many students and employees  of other centres of UEL goes there too to have snacks, lunch and also socialize. We love your cafeteria, the food, including the meal that is served in the lunch and the pleasant space with hammocks and pallets.

We understand that it's difficult to maintain an establishment nowadays. However, I believe that many students and employees would like to help the cafeteria and because of this we suggest you to create a crowdfunding campaign or we could try to relocate the cafeteria to a cheaper place near to CCB. So would you consider not closing the Original Cafeteria?

We look forward to your reply.

Yours sincerely,
