Texto A

To blog or not to blog?

Only a few years ago, a “web log” was a little-known way of keeping an online diary. At that time, “blogs” (as they quickly became known) were only for serious computer geeks or obsessives. The blogging craze exploded very soon: almost everyone read blogs, or was a blogger. In fact, it was estimated that ten new blogs were started

somewhere in the world every minute. Today, blogs are seen as important and influential sources of news and opinion. Nowadays, so many people read blogs, that it has even been suggested that some blogs may have been powerful enough to influence the result of Obama’s presidential election.

Blogs are very easy to set up – all you need is a computer, an internet connection and the desire to write something. The difference between a blog and a traditional internet site is that a blog is one page consisting mostly of text (with perhaps a few pictures), and –very important– space for people to respond to what you write. There are blogs about politics, music, film, sport, books – any subject you can imagine has its enthusiasts typing away and giving their opinions to fellow enthusiasts or anyone else who cares to read their opinions.

So many people read blogs now that the world of blog writers and blog readers has its own name – the “blogosphere”. But how influential, or important, is this blogosphere really? One problem with blogs is that many people who read and write them seem only to communicate with each other. When people talk about the influence of the blogosphere, they do not take into account the millions of people around the world who are not bloggers, never read blogs, and don’t even have access to a computer, let alone a good internet connection. It seems that the blogosphere exists only to influence itself, or that its influence is limited to what is actually quite a small community. Blogs seem to promise a virtual democracy – in which anyone can say anything they like, and have their opinions heard – but who is actually listening to these opinions? There is still little hard evidence that blogs have influenced people in the way that traditional mass media (television and newspapers) have the ability to do.

Tarea 1.–

Choose the best definition for the words in bold.

1. The blogosphere is...a. another planet.b. a place where bloggers live.c. the virtual blogging community.

2. A craze is...a. a type of software that bloggers use.b. when a lot of people get excited about something.c. a slang name for a computer expert.

Say whether the following statements are true or false according to the information given in the text. Write the evidence from the text that justifies your answer.

3. Blogs directly affected the outcome of the US election in 2008.

4. The main difference between blogs and ordinary web pages is that people can send their own ideas, comments and opinions to blogs.



5. According to the article, bloggers do not reach many people around the world.

Texto B

There are different ways of complaining: face to face, by phone, by email or by letter. In order to conclude which way is the most effective, you should consider the advantages and disadvantages of each.

Imagine you have bought a faulty item from a shop and you take it back to complain. You go directly to the shop assistant and tell them your problem. They say they cannot help you, which makes you so angry that you even start insulting the poor shop assistant. This reaction will not help you get any compensation, or

even a refund. If you go directly to the first person you see within the shop or organisation you are complaining about, you may be wasting your time as they may be powerless to take any action or provide you with a solution. So the important lesson to be learnt is to make sure firstly that you are speaking to the relevant person, the one who has the authority to make decisions.

Perhaps you don’t have time to actually go and see the relevant authority in person so you decide to make a phone call. The problem with complaining by phone is that you may be passed around from department to department, making you more and more angry until you finally give up. The same applies to emails too, which can also be deleted, or even manipulated.

This leaves us with the traditional letter. When we first make a complaint the usual response is a request to write a letter: “Can you put that down in writing please?”

The advantages of writing a letter of complaint are that:

• Written records are still very important, e.g. in legal matters as opposed to a fax or email.

• You have complete control over what is being said, and you can present evidence.

• You are able to keep copies of anything sent in writing.

Once you decide that a letter is the best way of complaint, make sure that your letter...

• ...states what went wrong exactly, when it happened and what was said or done. It is very useful for your complaint if you provide concrete evidence, with documentation, for example a receipt, where possible. Make sure you keep copies of all correspondence, including relevant documentation. Photographic or video evidence can be very beneficial for your case.

• ... states what you expect from your complaint.

• ... states a time limit for when you expect a reply.

• ... is addressed to the relevant person.



This will be more likely to ensure that you will achieve a satisfactory outcome from your complaint.
