  Dialogue 1


  W: Could I see the manager please? I have a complaint to make.


  M: Yes, I’m the manager here. What can I do for you, Madam?


  W: Did you have the room checked before we move in?


  M: Which room are you in?


  W: 1808. The toilet doesn’t work properly; the water doesn’t run in the shower.


  M: I’m awfully 4 sorry to hear that. I’ll turn to it right away.


  (After checking)


  M: I do apologize. We’ll change your room to 2002.

  M: It’s my pleasure, Madam.


  Dialogue 2

  M: Um, this steak, I asked for to be medium rare 5.


  W: Medium rare, that’s right, sir. I remember your order.


  M: Well, I’m afraid it isn’t. It’s a bit too well done and rather tough. Would you mind changing?

  M: That’s terrible. But if they wouldn’t change them, I know what I would do.


  Dialogue 4


  M: Oh, the food here really is bad. My soup was cold and meat, ur…it was like leather.


  W: Yes. And they don’t give you very much either. I’m still hungry.


  M: I’m sure this one is especially bad. And the word is so unpleasant 6.


  W: Don’t do this! Don’t do that! You mustn’t do this! You can’t do that!


  M: Well, I’m going to write a letter of complaint.


  W: And we’ll all help you.


  Dialogue 5


  W: Good morning.


  M: Good morning. Can I help you?


  W: Yes. It’s about this boots I bought here the other day.


  M: What seems to be the trouble?


  W: Well, they cut into my feet and rather painful. I was wondering if you could change them for me.


  M: Um. That’s a bit difficult. No one ever complained before, you know. I’ll tell you what. I can try stretching them for you if you like. I think you’ll find that would be satisfactory 2.


  I have no complaint at all. But the world is a little bit tough to me. I was born in a poor family with 6 elder sisters and 2 little brothers. I didn’t receive any good education, and you could imagine what my husband’s education is like. He usually calls rude names to me and I choose to pretend 7 to be deaf. Our daughter, she is really a little lovely thing. But she is always crying and looks as if to say, ‘go away, I don’t like you.’ I am a woman, a small woman. It is universally acknowledged 8 that I have no complaint at all.
