Hey everyone, are you doing great this week? I hope so!
We have a video activity this week. For this activity you need to remember a scene from the movie: “The Bridget Jone’s Diary” where the secretary writes an email to her boss. You watched in your last class with Talita.
In groups, you have decided if the email was appropriate or not based on that situation. Then, you will write a paragraph talking about what you have discussed in your group and what conclusions you have reached. Post your paragraph here.
This activity is due June 24, 2013.
Have a great week!
Camila :)
The Bridget Jone's email wasn't appropriate because some matter isn't appropriate in work. However I understand that email was a way of answering the same way as that email received by the boss. Her boss sent a inappropriate email first.
ResponderExcluirIf we think about the relationship between the boss and the employee, the email is not appropriate because it is necessary to use a formal language in this situation. But, the first email (that it was of the boss)gave reasons for employee continue a informal answer.

ResponderExcluirIt's always recommended to use formal language to send e-mails with professional content. However, he was probably flirting with her and he used that weird joke to seduce her. I didn't watch the movie so I'm not hundred percent sure that I'm right. Anyway, he can be sued by her and that e-mail can be a prove, so I think it wasn't a good idea to send her that e-mail. In the point of view of her, it's dangerous to answer that e-mail in that way if she is worried about lose her job.
