Dear Anna,

Thank you for your e-mail, I really appreciate that you have put some thought into the logo subject as
this proves the fact that you truly care about the company's image. However, from my person point of
view I do not think that communication through e-mail is the most efficient way to consider and decide
an important query as the response is not immediately and the message can easily get misinterpreted.

I would love to discuss more about the choices that we have regarding to the logo and I think that the
more cooperative the team was, the more likely we would be to achieve our best version. I have the
feeling that none of the options presented are good enough for the professionalism that we have been
working so hard to accomplish. Could you please take another look at rebranding and take into
consideration the possibility to be re-designed something new based on the option C style?

I know that you have some well-thought-out opinions on the subject. Are you open to discussing them
let’s say tomorrow after lunch time?
Please let me know if you are available in order to set up a meeting. You can replay on this e-mail or feel
free to give me a call anytime.

Thank you,

Bob.
A very welcome to you all. and today's talk is about a challenge that i successfully overtcame
A few years ago I was unable to swim. I loved being in the water as it was extremely relaxing but i felt
stuck doing the some thing - staying so close to the beach. i was afraid of drowing but at the some time
i wanted to experience how it was to float on the water and to feel weightless.
this fear has its origin in my childhood. My house is on the bank of the river and once we were having a
barbeque. My parents were playing volleyball, while me and my sister went for a walk across the river. I
tried to reach a tree branch, but I felt into the deep water. Luckily, my sister rescued me and saved my
life. Ever since then, I had been endeavoring to win my fear, but weren’t for that fact that my husband
encouraged me to give it another try, I would not know at this right moment how to swim.

I must admit that I had struggled with the whole process of learning and I was annoyed with myself that
this skill just didn’t come naturally. because I was discouraged by the fact that I didn’t suddenly start
swimming, I couldn’t see my small progress that really counted and helped me to achieve my goal. Step
by step I built the confidence that I needed to win my phobia and it felt so good. It’s great fun swimming
across the sea or the pool, and not being restricted at only shallow water. Swimming gives me a sense of
peace and I am grateful to be able to feel that every time I go in the water.
The priceless lesson that I have taken from this experience is ,,Don’t rush to make progress, a step
forward, no matter how small is a step in the right direction. Good thinks take time.

I totally agree with this statement, as the internet plays a double role in our lives. Firstly, it bring people
together but at the same time it makes them to communicate less. I am so grateful to the online
networking, because weren’t for the fact that it exists, I would not been able to keep touch with my
family, which is far away from me. What I really like about the social media, is that I can call or send
messages to my mother whenever I feel like I need her advice or just I need to be heard by someone. In
spite of the fact that I have not seen my friends for approximately two years, due to the pandemic
situation, we managed to stay connected thanks to the internet.
However, the internet has the power to change the people’s attitude towards the relationship between
them, and this change is not necessary positive. The closer people were, the more likely would be to not
talk to each other. We are so concerned by looking perfect in our virtual life, that we forget to take care
more of the people that are next to us.
This happened to me a few years ago, when I was too worry about how I was looked by society and my
husband’s opinion did not matter anymore. I posted every day on my Facebook account, until I realized
that I was losing my family. I was totally into the

In order (not) to + infinitive


So (that) / in order (that) + statement
1. What form- 1, parent, children all people, 2 persoanl willing
2. 2, several identities

The personal brand is a continue process being built and developed throughout the individual’s life.
However, it well known that its root starts in the childhood where kids are too young to understand the
word. Having said that, the people who surrounded them in the earlies years of living, have the most
significant impact on forming their identity. Often, the parents play a crucial part of this process as they
are those who give their offspring the name, which is one part of how they are viewed by society.
Secondly, people may alter who they are, either deliberately or unconsciously, by interacting with
different kinds of personalities. In this way, they pick up the characteristics that they associate the most
with and try to act and behave in a similar way.
I believe that everyone has only one identity but acts differently depending on the situation they are. In
other words, they keep the some values, ability, aspirations and believes but some certain life
experience may shift the way they interpret the word. As a result, the conceptions might be changed
partially or entirely but the individual will still have only one identity. Moreover, it is claim that people
change their identity at different stages from childhood through adulthood.

The article is called ,,Balance and fairness”. It is said that media organizations
often used these words. The article said that these organization claimed that
the news are reported without showing favoritism or making judgments. It is
believed that balance meant not giving one side more importance.
There is an example done for use. It is taken a report about abortion in U.S..
and it is claimed that we can consider that there is a balance when in a report
would be given equal time to both supporters of abortion and those opposed to
the operation.
However, it is expected that journalists must verify the facts because it is
presumed that making any statements to support the case could
perpetuate fake news and leave the reader or viewer without solid
information.

1.Absolutely, I always daydream when I have to
learn smt or to clean the house. Even at work
when it the busiest time of the day I can not
stop myself from daydreaming. My mind
wanders through thoughts and chooses to
solve an existen problem from my life. On
Monday while I was trying to keep up with an
flow of e-mails I started to thing of our
Christams holiday that starts on Friday and
from one to another I figured out what gift I
can buy for mu husband. Is a problem-solver
and a tool to stay positive in the present
Most of your daydreaming focuses on things that might happen in the future. We plan ahead, we think about
outcomes of decisions, we think about what we might do at the weekend, what we might do next week,"
says Irish. But you also think about your life in the more distant future, considering whom you might marry or
where you might live

2. Absolutely, help us to and to stay healthy. After I had my tyroid removed the doctor told me that the main
cause that contributed to the growing of that knot was that I am too sensitive and I have to take easier the
life. I do not have to worry about every single small problem. Additionally, when we laugh our immune
system become stronger as the brain realizes dophmanine .and other substances. While feeling
stressed or afraid can cause your heart to race that can conduct to a eart
attac. The mind can also affect other functions such as digestion,
circulation. but I do not think that with our mind we can do other thing like
growing the musculs.
3.Yes, recently I put my mind into an exam that I had last week now the thought that I have to retake
because more than sure I failed, is going throw my mind. even though I worked hard because I bore in my
mind that nothing comes without dedication and effort I messed it up. Next time I will be more relaxed and
positive about the outcome and for sure I will do better.

4.Usually, I try to weight the situation and to question myself about everything that surrounds me. I tend to
believe that I am not a narrow-mind and I am willing to step to accept soelse belief if is well explained.

5.Well statistic speaking people usually miss


work because of
 Common when the season changes,
 injuries like back pain and it can happened if
they perform a manual job .
 Stress mental occur when an employee lost
some, parent don have time to sleep enough

6.Have an open discussion with an employee who calls in sick too much and ask why it
is happening. Be compassionate and understanding, as they may be dealing with a
chronic health issue or have to take care of an ill family member. However, employees
also sometimes take sick days when they are not sick. Knowing why an employee is
taking sick leave will help you address the issue with them. If is celar that person is not
willing to work and just attend when they feel in the mood, I would ask them to provide
medical evidence at the third time when they called in sick.
7. Problems like lack of communication, cooperation, productivity, confidence

-Your employees might find themselves puzzled when they play “Puzzling.” For this activity, you
will need to divide your team into smaller groups and come prepared with a different jigsaw puzzle
for each group. Before giving each its puzzle, mix a few pieces into the boxes that will be given to
other groups.

As each group labors to be the first team to finish its puzzle, its members will eventually realize
some key pieces are missing. When the other groups come to the same realization, they’ll need to
identify which group or groups have the pieces they need and figure out a way to get them.

The ensuing inter-group bartering may include things like loaning a member to another group. It
may also include bribes like buying lunch. Whatever tactics are used, your employees are sure to
have a good, collective laugh as they engage their powers of persuasion, teamwork, and
problem solving—and there’s nothing puzzling about that, is there?
8. Without a doubt, it is definitely a necessity for people working together to be able to actually
work WELL. However, assigning people to be part of a team doesn’t necessarily mean that
they are already thinking like one solid unit; if every individual is new to a team, then it’s an
extraordinary challenge for them to start learning to like and trust one another.  Simply letting
everyone be and hoping they will sort problems out by themselves is by far the worst
approach, Teamwork is not something that can be quickly developed or enforced; it takes time
for a real team to be created. Spend some time getting to know how your team operates and
eam building activities
you will get an idea how you can better foster teamwork.

require members to work together to accomplish something. Is the


best way to bring people togheter at the same table.
9. I do not always tell people what bothers me beacause I can be driven by emotion and not my
critical thinking and I can hurt people even though is not this my intention. So before I tell
someone how I fell I analize the ways through I can deliver the message, sometime I do not
tell them at all and this kills me because I fell accomplished of the negative feelings. After I
questions,
have taken smth off my chest I feel relief and peaceful. This is set me free
from the assumptions, expectation and is easier to get back to the
routine of your single life.
10. Everyone has a different approach to the stress and we cope different with it.
While for so meditation can work, for someone else this is a waste of time and
energy and just walking will set them free.
Additionally, those that do not have time for meditation can do deep breathing
exercises. Those that are into sport can try to relax their muscles or the classic
example for listeninc to music I think tit works for everyone.

11. Well actually bc I live in the city center is very difficult to cope with the noise
pollution bc every night, before I fall asleep I hear the car horns and the nose
from motorbikes. additionally every day I am woken up by the truck that collects
the garbadge and I have a feeling that they amplify the sound bc they are gelous
that we are still sleeping.
It make my blood boil.
it really irritates me and get under my skin

I even thought to to to the council and make a


complain bc s just unbearable .
12.

13. Visionary  person with original ideas about what the future will or could be like.
dont fit or fulfil in an expected social norm. different always has been consider as
weird and unatend and what people can not undersand they can not accept. If is
beyond the normality is blamed and that person is experiencing bulling from society .
as well, some people argue that we have to live the present not to predict the future
and is wrong to now what is going to happen.
14. I would like to think that we all are equal and we all have the some opportunities. I
would like to have a word wher money do not have any value and all people work for
the general well-being.
15. you agree with them and have the same opinions and views. it depends of the
conversation and what I want to achivre from there. First, I think if is worth going there.
Step one is deciding whether that conversation is even worth having, If
it’s an argument with your spouse over whether one of you is going
to accept a job offer that will require the family to move, you will need to
have that talk, and I try to stay on my position and to bring reasonable
arguments that will stand by my cause. But if it’s a matter of asking a
friend why she believes smoking should be banned (and you very much
disagree), it’s worth asking yourself first why you want to have that
conversation. Do you want to learn why your friend feels the way she
does? Do you want to change her mind? If this dicustion is going to hurt
their feeling or see me in another way, I just agree with them or just say
that I do not have an opinion( NEUTRAL) In this case I question myself
what is more important, to be right or to keep my friends
16. my boss, she is a young smart woman. I admire her because she alwasys
 looks fora win-win situations.
 She cares about doing the right thing.
 Even though sometimes is tough, nobody blames her as she does thins in
the right way
 . She is open mind as she can easily do things differently in order to change
or improve the way how things work in the company.
 She made us fell part of soething big so she motivated us to be more
productive and to feel that we have a meaningful work.
 She knows how to put hersellf in other's shoes, and she practice it regularly.
So they listen, understand, and comprehend others around.
