Subject: Consideration in examples for "Writing an effective email" class. Greetings, Ravee, in order to be more clear and comprehensive in the class topics I would like to request you to consider another examples for writing an email to be more in deep about how to write a professional and a casual emails. Best regards, Ivan.
Good afternoon, teacher Ravee,
I’ve been studying English for over a year, and I want to start applying my knowledge and see how much I have improved.
The thing is… I don’t know how to get in touch with native speakers to have a conversation without leaving my country, I tried a website in which many people who are learning other languages can talk to you in order to receive feedback, but I haven’t been able to talk to almost anyone, I try sending a message, but they don’t reply, or we usually have like a conversation for 2 minutes and I don’t get the chance to actually have a productive conversation, one in which I can improve and assess my language.
So, I would like to ask you if you know some effective way that could allow me to talk to native speakers and finally apply my knowledge. Thank you so much for your time, and I look forward to hearing your suggestions.
Best regards, Julian

Hi Ravee, I hope you are doing great.
Even though I like your lessons and the way you teach, I keep on procrastinating and wasting time.
I feel like I have already an advanced level and that stops me from learning more.

Subject line: How LLMS change the ways for produce effective emails?
Salutation: Greetings
Main body: I am Roberto, a student of Platzi. I just watched the class regarding formal writting of the Advanced Writing Course, and I was asking myself, considering that course was made on 2022, how much change the relevance or the workflow for writing on english for no native speakers on the LLMS era.
I saw that one of the most common case of use of Chat GPT and other LLMS is precisely writing. So, I think that one of the ways we can take advantage of this technology is to use the basics, as the cultural angle, the structure and some context and use it as a prompt for write more effective emails.
I am curious to know your point of view of this.
Closing: Warm regards,
Roberto.
I am taking this course on 2024, when Chat GPT and others LLMS are having a big spotlight in terms of use for writing. How this change the writing skill nowadays?
