Question

80 POINTS. You are going to write a letter in which you use a story to tell a friend about a problem you solved. To prepare, address these questions: What will your problem be? This is the focus of your story. How did the problem affect you? How did you solve the problem? How did you feel after you solved the problem?

Answer 1

• My problem will be a possible social phobia that I could be suffering from.
• The problem affects me because I feel that I am isolating myself from the world and I will end up being completely alone and sad.
• My problem was solved through therapy.
• After therapy I feel more comfortable socializing, although I do it slowly.

Step-by-step explanation:

Dear friend,

I am writing to inform you again about my situation. In case you didn't know, I was suffering from signs of a psychological problem and feared I was starting a social phobia. The biggest problem with this is that I feel like I'm purposely isolating myself. I don't know anyone in my city, there's nowhere I want to go, I feel alone and without friends. However, I can't find the disposition or desire to go out and try to make new friends. It makes me sad and worried, since I feel that my future will be a great loneliness and I will be alone forever, if I continue like this.

As a way of trying to reduce my problem and suffering, I am starting a psychological treatment with a therapist and although it is still difficult, I believe that my problem will be solved, little by little with the help of the therapist. Gradually I feel more comfortable in socializing, although I am walking with baby steps. However I believe that I will improve soon.

Answer 2

Letter Idea That I Made for an Automatic Irrigation System, via Arduino:

Dear (The Person The Letter Is For),

I have noticed that many of my plants die due to neglect. People (including me) don't water their plants. This problem effected me and most-likely lots of others very much because we have put in lots of my time and money into making a garden, just for it to fail. In fact, the Ancient Civilization of Egypt collapsed because the Egyptians were not able to properly maintain water levels in plants, leading the plants to wilt, a lack in water because of wasting the water on the plant, the Egyptians to die of dehydration, and the fall of Ancient Egypt. So I made an Arduino-based automatic irrigation system to help other like me and obviously myself maintain a healthy garden. This device will water my plants whenever they are dehydrated, and it will water in correct amounts, due to the soil moisture sensor in the setup. This solution worked, and I feel happy because the solution worked, it was very inexpensive, and it was super easy to make.

Sincerely,

(You)
