Estimada señorita Estela Pérez: Desafortunadamente no podemos ofrecerle el trabajo de enfermera que usted solicitó. Nosotros somos muy estrictos con la puntualidad y usted llegó media hora tarde a la entrevista de trabajo. Le aconsejamos que revise su currículum vitae, ya que una hoja escrita a mano no es suficiente para demostrar sus habilidades y experiencia. Hay expertos que pueden ayudarla a mejorarlo. Además le sugerimos que apague su teléfono antes de entrar a la entrevista. La persona encargada tiene mucho trabajo y no puede perder tiempo esperando mientras usted habla con su madre. Finalmente, le recordamos que tenemos un código de vestimenta de trabajo. Pantalones cortos, camiseta y sandalias serían más apropiados para la playa.

Pensé regalarle un vestido pero ella siempre se tiene que probar muchos vestidos antes de encontrar uno que le guste. ¿Alguien me puede ayudar? Pedro: Podrías regalarle bombones de chocolate. A todas las mujeres les gustan los chocolates. Marcela: Quiero felicitarte porque tienes una relación muy linda con tu madre. Yo te aconsejo que le escribas una carta y le digas cuanto la amas. Cintia: Le podrías comprar algo más práctico como una blusa o un pantalón. Pero escribirle una carta como sugiere Marcela también es una buena idea.
