Cover Letter


Dear Miss Cequeña,
            
First of all I would like to thank you for being patient with us especially with our behavior. Thank you for guiding us in our lessons and helping us revise our essays to make it more fruitful and as your student I have learned a lot from you. I can apply it in and out of the classroom. Thank you for all the things that you have taught us. Thanks for making us that we are taken care of, and we treat you as our second mom in school.
            
           My essays are my pieces of evidence that I have achieved something in Englcom Reading and Writing class. My learning is another, because without Englcom Reading and Writing Class I wouldn’t be able to correct my mistakes when I am writing essays and articles. I learned how to be an effective communicator through my essays because I am able to apply proper grammar rules. I find it difficult sometimes to be a critical and creative thinker, because our tasks is only allowed to be done inside the classroom and we have limited time to think what we are going to write in are essays and articles. I am planning to have new ways on how to cope up with these problems. I am planning to adjust quickly to the system so that my work will be more effective. I want to study what our professor taught us and practice them at home even though we are not told to do so.
            
The things that I am most proud of is the one that miss Cequeña taught us, she taught us how to site credible sources and how to manage our time so that we can do the desired task on time and with great quality. I am most proud of the life lessons that our professor taught us because we can apply them every day. We really need these life lessons until we grow old and it is very important in the future and we need to practice them every day and be serious with it. I am very proud to be a student of Miss Cequeña because she is a teacher that cares about her students and treat her as her children and guide them in the right path so that they will have a good future ahead of them. I am very proud that I am independent now when I write essays and artivles and I can find credible sources that is very reliable.
           
       I learned lots of things in this course and I am very thankful for having this course in my flowchart because I believe that this subject is very important because it is very useful when we write letters to express ourselves and we will write our resume for our jobs in the future. I am very thankful for having Miss Cequeña as our professor because she is very patient with us even though we are noisy at times and we take for granted the subject she is there to guide us always and mentor us in everything that we do. I believe that is the most important thing to do if you are a professor. Thanks Miss! J

Pizza Hut vs Yellowcab

Pizza is one of the best foods that I want to eat. The two best Pizza Restaurants for me are Pizza Hut and Yellowcab. These two pizza companies both serve world - class pizza, pasta and even chicken. They are both high - class restaurants but I believe that both restaurants differ on their taste and the variety of food that they serve. 


I will compare the two companies and here are the differences between the two companies. Yellowcab's pizza is oilier than the pizza of Pizza Hut. Pizza Hut offers varieties of food especially in the kind of pizza that they serve. Pizza Hut has a pizza with cheese or a sausage on their crust. But Yellowcab doesn't offer that kind of pizza. Yellowcab is a local pizza company while Pizza Hut is an international Pizza company. Pizza Hut offers an on time delivery, when it's late, it's free service while Yellowcab does not. On the other hand, Yellowcab offers bigger pizza than Pizza Hut's.



But for me, Pizza Hut is better than Yellowcab because of some reasons. One reason is that Pizza Hut is cheaper than Yellowcab and much healthier because Yellowcab's pizza is oilier than Pizza Hut's. You can try both pizza company and tell which one is better. But one thing is sure they both satisfy our need and they both taste great.
