1. CLB5R Read letters to an advice columnist in the newspaper to decide whether you agree with the advice given.
     1. Do you agree with the advice given here?

•  I didn't agree with Aunt Aggie's advice.

     2. Email Aunt Aggie what you think about her advice. Summarize in a sentence the situation, and comment on her attitude towards Josephine. What did you like or dislike about it, specifically? Do you think her advice was smart? Or helpful to everybody in general?

• Dear Aunt Aggie, I didn't like your advice. Smoking in Canada is banned in workplaces and other public spaces. Smoke-free laws are public policies. So it is an absolute right for Josephine. Passive smoking is harmful to other people's health. Second-hand smoke causes disease, disability, and death. Your advice was not helpful to Josephine. 

     3. Ask yourself: Did you identify specific factual details and implied meanings; purpose of the message; reader/writer relationship; mood and attitude of the writer; and context, register and style?

• I think The writer didn't want to help Josephine.  Maybe she smoked too.
