Writing: A letter to an advice columnist

Read these letters to an advice columnist then imagine you want some advice about a problem. Write a short letter to an advice columnist. Think of an interesting way to sign it.

Example:

Dear Fix-it Fred,

I have a problem and I need your advice. What do you suggest for losing weight? My friends say I look fine, but I don't think so. I've tried several diets, but they just don't work for me. I'm desperate! Can you please help?

Not Slim Jim

Dear Fix-it Fred,

Several months ago, I moved to another town to start college. I call my boyfriend back home every weekend. Now he says the distance is too great and we should break up. I want to stay together. What do you suggest?

I think you shouldn't desperate for this. If your friends say that you look fine, maybe you could be exaggerating. Lost weigh don't may be a fast decision. I suggest you should ask to a doctor befor you begin a diet. for that it is balanced.

Also is important to change the bad meal habits, and begin a continue program of fisic activity; to conserve not only the line, but especially the healt.

I think that it is a too difficult problem. First you can try to talk with he, and to explain that although you want to be with him, you don't can.

Maybe if you call him in week days and he to you. And if you try to visit him in weekends, or he to you; the relation can go on

Finally if he isn't disposed to confront the situation, the best alternative is break up it. because you should continue your college, and if he does not support you, it doesn't has sense.

I hope it helps you.

Dear Willi,

When did you start feeling this headache?

I suggest you track back and try to determine the real cause of your headache. Once you identify the causation, you should attack the root of the problem, not the symptoms.

Come and see me, and we can talk about it.

Regards,

Libardo

Try a massage too.

Dear Fix-it Libardo

Several years ago ,I had an accident and I had a column problem, now I feel a lot of ache frequently.

I went to the doctor and he suggested some therapies but I can't always go, because a have a time problem or other things. I need a solution because this problem is progressing.

Can you please help?.

Dear Maria Alma,

I suggest you go to the acupuncturist. They offer non-traditional medical therapies which could really help you with your problem.

I can recommend someone to you, if you wish.

Take care,

Libardo
