Written task 


Dear Jamie Shea


First of all im writting you this letter to demand you to quit your job. Why? Because what you are doing is totally unethical. Using your authority and language to create false facts to generate a less evil idea of war is as i said it before totally unethical. Stop using your language to disorting the truth. As a NATO spokesman the least we can expect is this kind of issues. Please stop using this biased language to persuade other people for a cause you invented. I now you are not a bad intentioned man but your descisions are generating a huge caos, thats why this massive use of euphemisms must stop now, thats why im demanding you to leave your charge and quit your job.

English activity: Compare and contrast letters

http://www.thinkib.net/englishalanglit/page/9671/8-writing-tips


To Avoid the word 'it' as the subject of a sentence:
The word it is removed in this case and also changed for the word being, then is finished this part of the letter with to me.So in this case this changes also help to reduce the repetition of certain words.

Use clauses, such as who, where or which:
The word where was changed by the word and, also the use of comas is added in the beginning.

Use right verb tense :
As the verb tense changes it gives the idea that is tried to soy the writer instead of something that the writer thought it is now understander as something he thinks of.

Watch out for wordy sentences:
The number of words is reduced , in which it still gives the same message. 

Never start a sentence with but:
In the letter the words but and job are removed, because both words are too repeated.

Don’t have too many clauses at the beginning of a sentence:
The number of clauses in the letter are just a few, changing the position most of the words. The change is in the beginning of the letter.

Parallel structures:
Is changed in such a way that it fits in the language of a work area, by changing the words person by colleague and use the word I just once, making the text more fluid.

Use active verbs instead of passive verbs:
The word I is added at the beginning, making it more active, as if anyone would give value to the organisation.
