Friday's Assignment, November 28

Task 1:

Lon: What’s this? 

Abigail: It’s a  memo about a safety inspection scheduled for next week. 

Lon: A safety inspection? How are we ever going to pass a safety inspection? 

Abigail: What do you mean? This isn't an unsafe workplace. We've had a good record. None of our employees have had on the job injuries this year and we've never had a fatality I don’t understand why you’re so worried. 

Lon: From what I've heard, the inspectors don’t just look at injury rates. They look for the smallest hazard that may be remotely dangerous  If we get cited, we may be shut down . 

Abigail: With all due respect, I don’t think that’s how it works. Yes, the inspector will look at our work environment and our gear  and machinery to make sure there are no hazards or toxic substances. 

Lon: That’s what I’m worried about. 

Abigail: But, if they find a violation, we’ll get a chance to fix the problem. They won’t shut us down without giving us a chance to comply  with their safety standards. 

Lon: I sure hope you’re right. 

Abigail: Me, too. We’ll know after next week’s inspection.

Dear Lucinda,

On August 25, 2009, I bought a floor lamp in your store. Unfortunately, I was not able to use it because of it did not work properly. Every time I switched it on, it switched off by itself after about 30 minutes. I took the lamp back to the store but the salesgirl refused to give me my money back. I had a telephone conversation with you about it and you confirmed that your store’s policy is to exchange faulty merchandise rather than refund the money. Unfortunately, the lamp that I want is no longer available at your store. Given these circumstances, I would like to request that you refund my money.

I want to hear from you soon.

Cheers,

Marisa Romer

Compare the weather of Iran and Canada

Compare the weather in my previous (Iran) country and in Canada

We know that one of  the important point for choose a country for livings is the weather.

Iranian has four season in a year and length of each season is about three months.You can see each season in nature. Average of the temperature is -10c to 40c.
Canada has four season same of Iran but the length of seasons are different . For example length of spring, summer and fall are 2 months for each one and  also Canada has long winter. The average of temperature are 30c to -40c.

Totally choose a country because of his weather depend to your temperament. Some people prefer cold weather (like me) and some of them like warmer weather.

Women's Right to Vote

In Canada's early day, voting was considered as a privilege not a right. Only rich men and women with their own properties could vote. Most of women could not vote. After confederation in 1867, all women were excluded. In 1880 and 1914 Women's suffrage was considered as an impossible thing. In 1911, James Whitney said that women's suffrage was a matter of revolution which only worked out with goals and laws. For these reasons, women must not attend to vote.Therefore, women's suffrage movement needs a long way but it was growing.Since 1914, many women activities worked for women's suffrage in Canada. In 1915, one women from Manitoba were the first to vote.She was Nellie McClure. In the same year, women from Saskatchewan and Alberta got the rights to vote. However, women could only vote in 5 provincial lectures but not in federal lectures.During the great war, women played essential roles in Canada. In 1917, two new laws.   Military nurse became the first to get the right to vote in federal lectures. Then, wife, mother, sisters, daughters of soldiers, and some serving uniform got the right. Finally In 1918, all the women in Canada got the right to vote. In 1920, women in Canada who is over 21 could vote but not all women were included.

I would like to help your district achieve this vision by contributing my skills and experience to creating an active community of learners who are well prepared for living and learning in today's world. My experience with young learners at Ghafari School and the time I spent teaching in the Esfahan City School District have helped me to develop strong classroom management skills and an appreciation of diversity that will be of particular value in this teaching position.

Thank you again for taking the time to interview me today. After our meeting I am even more enthusiastic about this potential opportunity. Please contact me if you have any additional questions. I look forward to speaking with you again soon.
