Unit 2, Writing 3A


I am writing about a business English course I recently took at your school. I studied on an intensive two-week course, but I learnt very little.


Your advertisement says that the business English classes are small. I expected to study in a group of between six and eight students, but I was in a large class of 16. It was difficult for the teacher to give time to everyone.


During my stay, there were three different teachers. Nobody explained why, and none of the teachers seemed to have experience teaching business.


Your advertisement promises that the Course Book and Workbook are provided, but this was not true. I received my Course Book on the Monday of the second week so could only use it for a week. I never got the Workbook.

You claim that your school is modern and in a central location. In fact, the building is old and the classrooms are not suitable. The technology is out of date. The building is 5km from the city centre, and I needed to catch a bus to get there from where I was staying.

I hope you understand why I am unhappy with the service your school provided. In total I paid 1,200 euros for the course and I would like you to refund 50% of that. I look forward to hearing from you.


Unit 2, Exam Practice, Writing B Dear Sir/Madam,


I am writing to complain about the driving lessons that I recently took with your driving school. There are a number of reasons why I am not happy.


Firstly, I had three different instructors, so it was difficult to build any kind of relationship with the person teaching me. Secondly, the lessons were supposed to be for one hour, but the instructors frequently ended lessons five minutes early.


In my opinion, the instructors were not very good either. They spent most of the time explaining what I should do, and did not give me the time I needed to practice.


Finally, I was unhappy that your cars were not very modern and sometimes not clean inside. They were not what I expected from a professional driving school.


I hope you understand why I am unhappy with the service your school provided. In total I paid 500 euros for the lessons and I would like you to refund 50% of that. I look forward to hearing from you.


Yours faithfully, Terry Black
