1. Write. Write a message to a person who you want to ask for forgiveness. Remind him of what you did and explain why you behaved that way. Try to use the pluperfect to narrate the events and the future to express your hopes regarding the relationship.
Possible answer.
Una vez en el trabajo estábamos discutiendo ideas para un proyecto, una compañera dio una idea muy buena y yo la complementé. Cuando tocó discutirla con los jefes, asumieron que la idea era completamente mía y yo no los corregí a tiempo, así que todo el mundo asumió que la idea era solamente mía y me terminé llevando todo el crédito.
Espero que María no pensara que fue mi intención quedarme con el crédito cuando originalmente fue su idea, y que si volvemos a estar en contacto no me resienta por eso.
Once at work, we were discussing ideas for a project, a colleague gave a good idea, and I added to it. When we had to discuss it with the bosses, they assumed that the idea was completely mine and I did not correct them in time, so everyone assumed that the idea was only mine, and I ended up taking all the credit.
I hope Maria didn’t think I intended to keep the credit when it was her idea and that if we get back in touch, she won’t resent me for it.

Una vez cuando estaba en la escuela traté mal a una compañera porque alguien más me había dicho que ella había hablado mal de mí, luego me di cuenta de que la persona había mentido, y esa compañera no había hablado mal de mi. Afortunadamente mi compañera logró entender que todo había sido un malentendido.

1. Before writing. Think of a current case of human rights violation that interests you. Write down the most important information about the case: The place, the aggressors, the victims, the right that is denied, the causes of injustice, and its consequences.
Possible answer.
Un caso reciente que podría tomarse como violación de derechos humanos, es el uso de la fuerza excesiva en las protestas en Colombia en los últimos años. Las víctimas en su mayoría son jóvenes estudiantes que exigen mejoras en el sistema educativo y más oportunidades justas para vivir.
Estos abusos son en su mayoría por parte del ESMAD, que es el escuadrón antidisturbios de la policía, y es justificado por las autoridades y el mismo gobierno, lo que ha traído mayor resistencia de la gente en las protestas, y mayor agresividad en las mismas.
Al permitir estos excesos de fuerza durante marchas pacíficas, el gobierno envía un mensaje que podría interpretarse como que si alguien no está de acuerdo con las medidas que quieren imponer y deciden mostrar su descontento, entonces serán agredidos y sus derechos básicos no serán garantizados.
(A recent case that could be taken as a violation of human rights is the use of excessive force in protests in Colombia in recent years. The victims are mostly young students demanding improvements in the educational system and more fair opportunities to live.
These abuses are mostly by ESMAD, which is the police anti-riot squad and is justified by the authorities and the government itself, which has brought greater resistance from the people in the protests, and greater aggressiveness in them.
By allowing these excesses of force during peaceful protests, the government sends a message that could be interpreted as that if someone does not agree with the measures they want to impose and they decide to show their discontent, then they will be attacked and their basic rights will not be guaranteed.)
