I would argue that body language is really a language. The definition of language is a typically human ability to communicate through complex systems. How one's body "speaks" is certainly a complex form of communication. Our body's communicate through shape and proximity, if we feel uncomfortable, we make ourselves smaller and closed in for comfort and safety. We also physically step back away from dangerous or uncomfortable situations because of our instincts of fight-or-flight. If we are engaged, we lean in and are open in our positioning. If we are romantically inclined to someone, we will positions ourselves as close as possible to the person and make ourselves open, even our feet will point to them. Other people can view our body and see how we are truly reacting. While we may be verbally speaking one thing, our body actually "says" the truth.

Think of a problem in your community, city, or state (traffic, pollution, crime, graffiti, homelessness, poverty, etc.). Write t
drek231 [11]

The correct answer to this question is the following.

My topic is Poverty.

My e-mail to a friend telling him about the problem and what you think should be done about it is the following.

Hi Peter,

I was taking the bus to campus and at the bus stop, some indigent people were asking for money. The worst part of it was that they were not seniors, intoxicated youngsters were asking for money.

I can't believe it, Peter, poverty is hitting hard in our community and the entire nation. We used to see seniors, but now, is common to see young people with a lack of opportunities.

Hope we can discuss this issue tomorrow in the social studies class.

Bye Bro!

The e-mail to my teacher would be this.

Mi Mr. Smith,

I have been talking with my fellow students about the issue of poverty in America. It seems the problem is getting worse. I have been noticing many young people in the streets, in parks, outside public buildings, asking for money.

Don't you think this would be an important issue for a discussion in class?

I would like to ask you. respectfully, to allow some time in class to address this problem and we would love to have your input.

Thank you, Mr. Smith, I know you will help us to proceed correctly.

The formal letter to send to my senator would be this.

Senator White,

On behalf of my classmates, I formally address you because we are very concerned with the growth of poverty in our community. A problem we have seen is growing in major American cities.

We, as the future of America, can't imagine how that future will be if we do not put an end to this issue. Every day, unemployment numbers rise, the cost of living increases, and companies lay off workers.

It is time to establish urgent solutions to create jobs and support quality education in America.

We want you to consider the following valid options:

1.- Notorious support for industries to reactivate the economy in our community.

2.- Reduction of taxes to increase the creation of new jobs.

3.- Create new legislation to foreign investment so multinational companies can establish in our region.

4.- State, regional, and national touristic promotion to invite people to visit our state and enjoy the many attractions we have here.

Thank you very much for your attention, and hope you can have an answer to our issues.

Sincerely yours,
