Complaining (WEEK 11):


How to complain in formal contexts? 

I have found a web page where the meaning of some phrasal verbs is explained:

FIESTA BLACKOUT ROLLER SHADE 

Dear Mr. Hampton,

I am writing to complain about the faulty installation of the above blackout shade to my bedroom window. Mr. Brand from your company came to my house to fit the shade on Monday, 29 March. That same evening, I discovered the mechanism was not working and that it was impossible either to raise or to lower the shade. 

I phoned your company the following morning, and Mr. Brand returned three days later to repair the shade. However, although the shade worked for the first few days after his visit, it then jammed once more. When I phoned again on 6 April to report this fault, I was told that no one would be available to visit me for two weeks. 

As I regularly work nights, and this shade is the only means of blocking out daylight, it is vital that it is functioning properly so that I can sleep during the day. I, therefore, would appreciate it if you would ensure that someone returns to replace the shade by the end of the week.

Sincerely yours, 

Ben Johnson.  

  • WHAT HAVE YOU DONE THIS WEEK TO IMPROVE YOUR ENGLISH?

Two days ago I saw the movie "Suicide Squad" in English with subtitles also in English. And as the exams are approaching, I've been doing English grammar exercises. Here are some web pages that are very helpful:
