Choose one of the situations. For the situation you choose, write a letter to "Dear Annie" explaining your situation. Ask her for advice about how your situation could have been prevented or how it can be prevented in the future.
1. You forgot to lock your car and as a result, your books were stolen from the back seat. How could you have avoided having your books stolen?
2. You were absent from class on Monday when the teacher told the class there would be a test on Tuesday. How could you have avoided failing the test?
3. Your dog always barks late at night. As a result, your neighbor has threatened to kill the dog. What will save your dog's life?
4. You were out having a good time. On your way home, a policeman gave you a ticket for speeding. How could you have avoided getting a speeding ticket?
5. Although you know that you are not a very good cook, you prepared dinner for all of your friends. As a result, all of your friends got sick and had to be taken to the hospital. How could this situation have been avoided?
6. While you were playing, you left a little ball on the stairway. When your mother came down the stairs, she fell and broke her leg. How could this have been avoided?
7. Every time you go shopping, you go at 5:00 when the store is busiest. As a result, you always have to stand in a long check-out line. How can you avoid standing in a long line the next time you go to the store?
Example:
Dear Annie,
Help! A terrible thing has just happened to me! Yesterday after my classes, I went to the mall to go shopping. I forgot to lock my car, and as a result, my books were stolen from the back seat. I have a test this Friday, but now I can't study because I don't have my book, I am very upset. Could you tell me how I could have prevented this terrible situation?
Sincerely yours,
Going to fail in Buffalo
Part B
You write an advice column in the paper and sign yourself "Dear Annie." You have received a letter that describes a situation and asks your advice on how the situation could have been prevented/avoided or how it can be prevented/ avoided in the future. Write a response, using the appropriate conditional constructions. If you are asked about how a situation could have been avoided, use the untrue in the past conditional. If you are asked about how a situation can be avoided, use the present/future conditional. You may also use other conditional constructions in your response.
Example:
Dear "Going to Fail,"
If you had remembered to lock your car in the first place, your books wouldn't have been stolen and you wouldn't be in this terrible situation! Perhaps in the future you should keep your books in the trunk of your car. That way, if you forget to lock your car again, your books won't be stolen and you won’t fail any more tests.
Yours truly,
Annie
PS. If you tell your teacher about your situation, I'm sure he/she‘ll help you find a book to study with.
