LETTERS HOME

This is the story of a Mexican boy called Francisco. Who moved to the US looking after the American Dream. When he arrived to New York, he was living in a Hostel and shared room with 10 other men. He still owed the expenses of his trip and he had to find a job. Fortunately Francisco met a man who helped him out and he started working at a market carrying boxes at night.

The first time he wrote home, he told his uncle about it all, and mentioned he got payed everyday when he knocked off at 6am. And that he would be sending them money as soon as he could do it.

 Francisco was happy for the snow since it was the first time on his life he'll see it, even though he wouldn't probably enjoy it working outdoors.

Later on, he told his uncle he could received letters at a restaurant where he used to go often, because the owner would keep them for him. 

Finally he started working at that same restaurant and was happy because he would be getting free meals and a warm place to be in. He was also happy knowing his little brother was getting good notes at school, but also because Francisco himself had started playing football at a club closed to the hostel and he would be moving soon to a flat with two friends.

On the next letter to his uncle, he wrote some good news about his luck and told them how his football team had won the championship through the finals and he was contacted by talent seekers who gave him a contract to become a professional football player.

Francisco was excited about it, and told his uncle they might even see him someday on tv, and that he would not only be able to send them money but to visit them as well.

APPLICATION LETTER  

OPEN SKIES 

Dear Miss White:

I’m writing to apply as a guide or instructor for your Open Skies Company. I included my CV with a photo as well.

I’m keen to get the job position since I got experience at adventurous activities as the ones you mention on the advertisement. You will see on my CV I am a professional cyclist, water sport player and a mountain climber.

I have already being trained on first-aid because of the activities I´ve developed in the past as a summer volunteer, teaching children and adults to develop their abilities on the sports mentioned before and as well as others like  snowboarding and surfing.   I would have no problem on using my skills as a first-aid trainer to support you if necessary.

Anxiously looking forward to work and grow in your company.

Sincerely

Lluvia López 

VALENTINES DAY

 

Daniela Serrano & Lluvia López

Valentine´s Day in Mexico is one of the most popular festivities of the year. On February 14th, we can see a lot of people buying  gifts, flowers and balloons .This day is very busy  for almost everyone because they give something special to their love ones as a  way to express their feelings. And many of them even  have a romantic dinner at an  expensive restaurant.

But how do people in other countries celebrate this day?

We interviewed five  foreign people from different countries about it. For most of them, to people in their countries Valentine´s Day is  pretty much what we have here in Mexico, although many of them have similar ideas about it, they all agreed with the fact that what really matters is Love. For this kind of people, gifts aren't actually as important as being with somebody special on that day and the whole year long. More than cards, chocolates, or flowers; phone calls, acts of affection, and time are way more meaningful than goods. They also referred Valentine´s Day as a commercial day because people just buy unnecessary things. In other words if you really want to show your affection to others , you can give a present every day with them without buying anything, but instead  sharing something cute made  by yourself such as: a love letter written by hand, with lot of heart drawings on the frame, or  If you are not shy, you could even  sing for that loved person. And this is another advice for girls: cooking a dessert  could be a good option to make anybody fall in love with you.

As you can see there are many simple ways to make  somebody smile and you don't really need to buy expensive gifts anyway. Above all,  It isn't  necessary to wait until February 14th since you have many days during the rest of the year to say that loved person “ I love you ”

So, why should we wait for Valentines day to show our love as it really is..?

Interviews 

This guy is from Germany, his 21 years old. At first he started talking to us in German but later he changed to English. He seemed to be just ok with Valentine’s Day due to he mentioned he would just do the typical things like have a dinner or buy flowers for his girlfriend.  

This is a couple. He said to him Valentine’s Day was a commercial day and he didn’t seemed to be a big Fan of it but about spending time with the people he cares for. She seemed more ok with the idea of giving something specially to his family. 

This two ladies were friends to each other. One of them came from England and the other from us. They had just arrived to Puebla and they seemed to be enjoying it. They seemed to be just ok with the idea of Valentine’s Day though they also preferred People´s Company.
