Writing assignment 5: an article

What can ordinary people do to help in the fight against crime?



Crime is a current topic in today's world, every day in the news appear physical violence or psychological violence and nobody take the challenge seriously to change of this situation.


There are a lot of alternatives to do somthing to change this crime problem but is importan that ordinary people work to help in the fight against crime.

When I was a child my neighbours worked together against crime they used simple things for example when a child went out to played he had to used a whistle in his neck and if somebody unknow appear the child had to blow the whistle and all the neighbours went out to helped, sometimes simple things are exelent alternatives to help.

If the ordinary people, the police or the goberment don't do anything, who can do it? so if you want a change we have to start for us

Dear Helen,

I'm writing you to thanks in response of yur latter, the new that you gave me is fantastic.
I would like to travel on July because on this month I would be ready with all the documentation I need to travel.

Concerning to the accommodation at camp California, I would prefer tents rather than log cabins. I love the nature and this is a chance to do something different and spend all the time outside, cooking mashmallow on a bonfire, sounds better for me.

Well about the activities I choose are photography and swimming. I always take pictures on my free time at the mountains, animals, and so on, nature in general I just love it. I also choose swimming because I like that and I enjoy it a lot and obiously because is good for my body.

I would like to know about the cost of the food, four meals a day is not enough for me, so I would appreciate if you send me the values or some special discounts. Also I would like to know if I have to bring the clothe or you are going to lend me some.

that's all for now

Yours sincerely,

Melissa Rodríguez
