Evidence Giving Advice

Gary works for an NGO and enjoys his job, but his organization is implementing a new "home-office" system where he will have to work from home twice a week. Gary is uncomfortable with this change as he lives alone and enjoys the social interaction at the office. Amanda is a hairdresser and single mother of two sons. Her mother has always helped care for her sons, but is now sick and moving in with Amanda's brother. If her mother moves, Amanda will likely have to quit her job as she does not have anyone else to care for her children. Amanda is considering opening her own salon but is afraid it may not be successful.

Evidence: Giving advice

These people are facing changes in their life. Read their situations below:

I am Gary. I work for an ONG called White Hands. I


support projects in rural areas from my office. I really
enjoy my job. Now my organization is implementing a
new system called "home-office". Twice a week I will
have to stay home and work from my computer, or
telecommute. My boss says it will be a good change
as we will be able to work from home. I find it rather
awkward. I live alone and have nobody to talk with.
Besides, all my friends are at the office. I will really
miss the social interaction on those days. What if I
can't find a file and I need assistance from a co-
worker? What if I need to talk to my boss but he is
not online?

I don’t really feel comfortable with this new idea of telecommuting. I wish I could
come to the office every day I have done for the past 5 years.
My name is Amanda. I am a hairdresser. I work in a
beauty shop in the north of the city. I am a single
mother and have two beautiful sons. Mike is nine and
Steve is two. While I work, my mother takes care of
my sons. She has always supported me. But now my
mom is really sick. The doctor recommended her
moving to a quieter place. So, she is moving in with
my brother who lives in a small town. If my mother
moves, I will probably have to quit my job as I don’t
have anybody to take care of my kids. I wouldn’t leave
them with a stranger, especially the little one.

I have some savings and I have considered opening


my own beauty shop in my neighborhood so I can
be near my kids. But what if the business does not
turn out well? I could lose all my savings. I don’t
really know what to do. I am afraid of the change.
Select one of the cases and write a 150-word letter to Gary or Amanda. In your letter
offer support and advice for the person you choose to try to solve the specific
problem this person is facing.

● Include ideas and vocabulary related to flexibility and adaptability learned in


the study material. In the letter, underline the ideas included. Include at least 3 ideas.

● Use the idioms learned in the study material. Use at least 3 idioms.

Here is an example of an informal letter. Look at the parts your letter must have:

What a nice story you have to have faith that your mom will be better if she goes to
a quieter place and that will soon be with you again as you have always been you
are a very intelligent woman and I hope you can open your business Look The
positive side You will be more time with your children and p Meet a new challenge
Remember that changes always bring better things into our lives
