You sister is a personal trainer. she wants you to her answer letters she received from some of her young clients. choose one of the letters and write 5 sentences giving them advice. you can make suggestions about diet, exercise, programs or things to avoid.
you must use affirmative and negative tú commands and the chapter 3 vocabulary to earn credit for this assignment.
letter #1: una joven está muy estresada, no puede concentrarse y se cae de sueño.
letter #2: una joven se siente fatal, estornuda mucho y se queja de un dolor en el pecho.

Letter #1: Una joven está muy estresada, no puede concentrarse y se cae de sueño.

This person feel very stressed, distracted, preocuppied, she is sleepy, etc. We can conclude that she has some big problem that is bothering her and that's why she doesn't sleep well, she probably neither eats properly, etc. Let's give her some advice.

1. No sientas pánico en las situaciones estresantes. (Don't panic in stressful situations.)

2. Respira profundo. (Breathe deeply.)

3. Come al menos 3 veces al día, aunque sea poco. (Eat at least 3 times a day, even though it is a little bit.)

4. Lee antes de dormir. (Read before going to sleep.)

5. No evites hablar con alguien que sepa ayudarte. (Don't avoid talking to someone who knows to how to help you.)

All the underlined verbs are examples of are affirmative (2, 3, 4, 5) and negative (1, 6) tú commands. If they are affirmative, we just take the -s from the second person singular:

(tú) lees - you read

lee - Read! (command)

If the command is negative, we have to use the subjunctive mode for the second person singular.

indicative: (tú) lees

subjunctive: leas

negative command: no leas (Don't read!)

You can now try to do the same with the second example.
