A LETTER TO A FRIEND
RECENT
ENVELOPE NATURALLY
SO - SO
nowy, osatni koperta
naturalnie
tak sobie, taki sobie
Dear Mary,
Thank you for your letter. I am sorry to hear that you have not been very well
recently. I hope you will get better soon. When you do get better, I would like you to
come and see me, as I have something rather special to show you.
Yours sincerely,
Joan
Instead of "Dear Mary", Joan might have written "Dear Miss Smith" (or Dear
Ms Smith). It naturally depends on how well Joan knows Mary Smith and how
close their friendship is. On the envelope Joan would write Mary's name and
address:
Miss Mary Smith,
129 Wellington Rd.,
Leeds,
Yorkshire /
The title "Miss" is used for single women, and "Mrs." for married women, whilst
"Ms" is used when it is not known if the woman is married or single, or for
women who do not think such married or single titles should be used, as they are
not used for men. The title "Mr." does not show if a man is married or not.

QUARREL

EXAMINE
REASON (v)
kłótnia
egzaminować, zbadać wyciągać wnioski, rozumować
To discuss something usually means that we wish to examine a particular subject
In a discussion people may perhaps disagree with each other, but the discussion
seldom becomes unpleasant.
When we argue with someone, it means that we don't agree with what they
say, and often the argument can become a little unpleasant
A quarrel, on the other hand, is definitely unpleasant, and can finish with both
sides shouting at each other.
Therefore, we could say that two people could begin by quietly discussing a
subject, the discussion could then develop into an argument, and the argument
could finish in a quarrel./
WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN "TO DISCUSS, TO ARGUE" AND "TO
QUARREL" ? The difference ... to discuss means we wish to examine ... to argue
means we don't agree ... a quarrel is definitely unpleasant...
WHY DO PEOPLE ARGUE ? People argue because some people always disagree with
everything other people say. It is often in their nature to do so.
Other people like to give their opinion on every single
matter. Others like to learn by argument... etc.
