Dear reservation manager:

I was researching and browsing through the internet for a place to stay for a week in. I came along your resort and it really caught my attention because of the facilities that you have in your resort and it looks like a really nice place to stay and relax during Christmas.

I was wondering if it is possible to have a room with three beds and has a view of the open sea. I will be coming with my wife and my two kids so it would be nice if we also had a good place to stay with each other maybe like a game room or a big living room. I would also want to know until how long is your gym and basketball court open because I have work during the morning so I am mostly free during the evening.

It would really help me to have your reply within the next few days so that I can decide on my choices, it would also be good if you can send information like parties that we can attend in your resort to further enjoy the holiday.

Here is my number if you need more information 0866029030. I haope to get your reply soon , thank you for your time.

Sincerely,

Dear Mr.  Anthony and Dr. Roxy,

We will be having the interhouse basketball team soon so we should have a solution to the slippery court to prevent players from slipping and getting injured. Most of the people who play basketball say thath the basketball court is very slippery.

I hope we can improve the condition of the basketball court, or at least try to think of a solution to protect our students.

 I hope we can bring this topic up in the next meeting as soon as possible. If it is possible maybe we can try adding some solution so that the court could be better played in. If there are other soltions please notify me about these suggestions and we can discuss for the better solution.

Thank you for your time in reading this letter and thank you for your kind gratitude in helping us out. Any additional information I should know please contact me at 0866029030.

Sincerely,

Persuasive Essay: Evaluating Ads

The professional's choice... Direct to your door, adidas advertises their new product of football shoes in black and yellow editions. The purpose for adidas is to compete with other brand and to let the people know that there is a new product in the market. The adidas ad displays black and yellow soothing colors because the product that adidas are black and yellow. the ad also displays the two different shoes named Predator X and Adipure III and the black and yellow background shoes shows some kind of texture. The background is also not that bright which really shows the texture and kind of shoe it is. The pierces of both shoes are also displayed in the ad, the composition is also the good font which is easy to read and the color yellow is also appealing to the eyes and the background color black and yellow appeals to our eyes. This ad proves to the people that it is really approved by the professionals because it displays one of the names of the famous players; it also proves that pro-direct is the world's largest online soccer store.

I think this ad focused more on the products they are selling rather than the company themselves who are selling the product. The soothing color of the page provides attraction to the reader, which than makes the reader notice the product that the company is selling. If the reader’s attention was really grabbed and he/ she did not just browse through the magazine he or she may have also noticed the name and the price at which the product is being sold.

This ad also uses easy to read fonts and fonts with big sizes to attract the attention of the reader, the ad also uses phrases like “the world’s largest”, “the professionals choice” which really grab the reader’s attention. In the end the advertisement is trustable and you can buy the product from them.

To add more to their compelling ideas of advertising the ad also includes the persuading technique ethos and also Avante Garde. They used ethos because they mentioned one of the most famous football players and they are advertising his shoe. The ad also uses the persuading technique Avante Garde because in the ad the company pro-direct is selling shoes, therefore the ad is telling the reader that “you can be the first to have this shoes, order from us and we will deliver it direct to your home.

The advertisement also uses the persuading technique bandwagon and slogan. In the ad I found out they are like telling their reader’s that “have one and be like everyone else with this product.” Another persuading technique is slogan, in their ad they put catchy phrases at the top and bottom of the ad so that the first and last thing you will read is their slogan which is “the professional’s choice…Direct to your door.”

Now for the negative point that I found in this essay is the confusion for the football player’s name. I know that football Is a worldwide known sport but I don’t think everybody knows who Kaka is, so to make the ad more understandable, they should add pictures of him using the shoes so the add can be more convincing and persuasive.

In conclusion I think the ad is an average ad, if you tell me to rate it from 0-10 I would give the ad about 7. I gave only 7 out of 10 because I don’t think this ad will be effective in Asia because the products being sold in the ad is too expensive, but for the people who use pounds they might actually take a bit out of it. To convince reader’s even more try putting other persuading techniques the one which will really convince them to buy, maybe using bribery like adding a free football for every purchase of shoes.

Spending too Much

You’re in your white house lying down on your water bed, you stomach rumbles you ring the bell beside you and the next thing you know a butler in a suit is delivering you favorite food to your bed. Ever imagined living like this? Well, in this essay the problem it will be talking about is spending too much, and I will also talk about the solution for that. Causes of spending too much is when one wants to fit in with other people and wants to buy all the new things. The effects of this may sometimes depress one for example, one is in a hurry to buy something one really wanted then after receiving it one finds out that it is not the exact thing that he/ she wanted. One of the best ways to solve this problem is to have determination, obedience and I will be also be talking about the 7 day challenge to stop spending a lot.

So you want to stop spending much and start saving more? There are many solutions to this problem but with all of those solutions there are also a lot of temptations to spend the money that you have. Things that will temp you to spend a lot are things like sale, credit cards, and cash in your wallet, most of the things you see. According to banknote.com (2010) by Laura Bruce (2007) it states that you have to find your own weakness in spending money. When you found your weakness that is when the limitations l will start. You have to start with having determination, obedience and a notebook.

This money diet consists of three main steps that will help one reach their goal in saving money. Step one, on the notebook you have to write on the notebook you everyday spending or let’s call them your needs. Examples of needs are food, transportation (if you have no car), load on your phone, allowance etc. when one knows all your spending calculate them and that will be the money one should spend on your calculations. One’s calculations could be daily, weekly, or monthly.
Once one has done step one then you move to step two which is like making allowance for yourself and one is not allowed to spend more than that amount of money. When you do this step be honest and don’t underestimate or overestimate yourself. The allowance that you should give yourself should be reasonable.

After the first two steps one will be ready to test whether or not one can do it. Step three’s objective is to have side money at the end of the day, week or month. If one had to go to the ATM it’s ok, just work on how not to do it next time.
One of my friends has a way of saving money. Students receive allowance daily, weekly or monthly, when one receives their allowance immediately put aside money. The side money should be at least 50% or more of one’s allowance, one is not allowed to spend their side money. So I suggest that you put it in your piggy bank or someplace where it’s hard to get. I put this method in the essay because I have tried it and I am one of the people who benefited from it.

The solution mentioned in this essay has benefited a lot of people. After the 7 day challenge most of the people who tried it were successful according to banknote.com (2010). In the second solution which is according to a close friend of mine, most of the friends who followed this method received 500-1000 baht in a half week, so it is a good way to save money. I suggest that one follows either one of these methods and you will benefit from it, and if the teenagers learn these methods early it would be good for them so they will easily gain money and think before buying so that money would not be wasted.
