VIDEO GAMES

Video Games
Video games are fascinating for many people, because they are exiting, funny and a real challenge to play. A lot of people spend hours in front of the TV an really enjoy playing for a long time. They also like to play new games with new challenges such as collecting enough video games to form a bookcase.
Righ now teenagers use their free time with the video games, they speak about this in the school, besides after the class they usually met in any house to play video games all afternoon, so they forget their homework and responsibilities. I think, that is the principal problem with video games, it could be an addiction and create big problems.

Letter to the President



San Jose, October 26 2010
Ms Laura Chinchilla
President
Costa Rica

Dear Ms President

I want to wish you success in this government. Nowadays the country has many problems such as poverty, education and the most important crime, drug trafficking.
Drug trafficking it’s destroying families, youngers and society as a whole.

I know that this is not easy, but I think that Costa Rica has many good people, who would help combat  crime and  rescue our country,  But it´s very important do something now , otherwise  our beloved Costa Rica will be as Colombia or Mexico , where drugs dominate and life is terrible for all people in this countries.

I really hope that you can change the example of the last presidents that left you a  legacy with many problems today.

Kinds regard and wish you luck


Pedro Parra Valverde



Netiquette

Paragraph number 4

 Costumer Services and Etiquette
 When you work with people and they need many services, the most important thing to think about is the etiquette besides a polite treatment.
From the first until the last client you must be very polite in treating all costumers, if you don’t want some complaining about you.
So the three rules of gold are the following
·        You must always give the client a welcome such as to say Hello Mr. o Miss ……, I am ………, How can I help you? What do you need?
·        When you make a mistake one important rule is, to say “Sorry” your time and inconvenience for the client.
·        And finally before he leaves “thank you for coming” and  invite him to return to the bank.
If you know and remember these rules you are on an excellent way to treating others and give a good costumer service.
