Do actions speak louder than words?

We have been talking about that, and now it is your turn to write something about it.Think of a personal in your social network; it can be a family member, friend, colleague, and or someone else, and write a 250-word letter to him/her explaining your understanding of the saying Actions speak louder than words. Give a reason(s) why you chose this person to tell him/her that; remember to add an example to clarify your opinion.

Dear Marah

I missed you very much. I can’t forget your attitude when my daughter was sick. You made a lot. I was surprised when I received an email from one of the most famous doctor in Lebanon. You booked an appointment for my daughter to meet him after 3 days.

You picked us up in your car, driving for more than 1 hour until we arrived. We waited for a long time in the clinic. The doctor told us that my daughter’s health is good, but she has to take two medicines. After that we felt

comfortable, and we went to take some food. It was a long hard day.

 Now, I have an absolute conviction that actions speak louder than words. Sometimes you need to hear a kind words until you feel comfortable and trust towards the people, but in hard time actions will be more effective than words.

I wish you a nice time with your lovely family. They have a great role- model, their mother. I expect your kids will be as same as you :loyal, sympathetic, and lovely.

Hope see you soon

All the best

Dear Rania

I was so happy when I heard you are pregnant. You have an adorable girl Madnah, and I hope you will get a wonderful boy.

I remembered when I was pregnant, my mum told me that she dreamt that I born a nice girl. She was so happy because of her dream.

I realized later that she wishes me to be pregnant with a boy. It is an old myth said that if you dream that you have a girl, it mean that you will have a boy. Many myth our parents are still believe it. So please don’t care of these myths, it’s just unreal.

Hope you get a nice baby, and you will be ok

Best,

Mona

A: So, we’ll be seeing you at this Friday’s cocktail party? B: Oh, I didn’t tell you. We cancelled. A: That’s a surprise. How come? B: We didn’t know earlier, but the Jameses are going. A: And how’s that a problem? B: They just seem so snobbish, always trying to keep up appearances. A: Maybe they’re just nouveau riche and trying to adjust. B: I don’t know. They’re too much like FOBs, and they talk funny. A: Look who’s snobbish here. B: Hey, whose side are you on? A: Maybe we could reach out to them and see if we could help them become more socially integrated. B: Whatever! We just can’t stand elitists and hypocrites!

A: Let’s wrap up the conversation at the Strachans’ annual white-tie gala ok? B: Sorry, but we’ve decided to decline the invite. A: You didn’t! Really? B: We just didn’t want to have to talk to the Buchanans. A: Seriously? What seems to be the problem? B: They’re kind of standoffish in my book. A: I wouldn’t be so quick to judge. It is not hard to commit a faux pas of formal etiquette in a new country. B: I’d say so, in their case! A: Ooh, look who’s all about high culture now? B: Are you mocking me now? A: Why don’t you be nice for a change? B: Look who’s trying to be a saint!

A: You’ll be at the charity potluck this evening, won’t you? B: I don’t think so. We turned down the invitation. A: What? You didn’t. B: We had no choice once we found out that the Mendezes would be there. A: What’s your beef with them? B: They’re all about keeping up with the Joneses. A: Maybe they’re just trying to fit in. B: It’s obvious they’re splurging bigtime on bling in order to impress others. A: When did you become so cultured all of a sudden? B: Hey, I resent that! I was just being honest. A: People who live in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. B: Nice of you. A friend in need is a friend, indeed!
