一、投诉信
Directions:
You have recently returned from a trip. However, you were dissatisfied with the service you received at the hotel where you were visiting.
Write a letter to the manager of the hotel. Give details of when you stayed, explain why you were unhappy with the service and say what you’d like to be done about it.
范文
Dear Sir or Madam,
I write to express my dissatisfaction with the service I received while staying at your hotel during my vacation between the 2nd and 11st of April this year.
Although your hotel is rated as a five-star one, I found that the rooms were not cleaned on a daily basis, and that my bed was made up only every three days. In addition, the food in the restaurant was similarly disappointing. Not only was it extremely overpriced, but the quality was very poor. I was therefore forced to have to eat out in the local restaurants.
I trust you will take my complaints seriously, and make every effort to improve your service in the future. I would greatly appreciate a discount on my bill (receipt enclosed). I look forward to a favorable reply at your earliest convenience.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

尊敬的先生或女士:
今年4月2日至11日的假期期间我曾住在贵饭店。我写信是为了表达对于贵饭店服务的不满。
尽管贵饭店被评为五星级饭店,但我发现客房并非每天都有人打扫,我的床每三天才被整理一次。此外,餐厅的食物也同样令人失望。不但价格过高,而且质量很差。因此我被迫外出在当地饭店就餐。
我相信您会认真对待我的投诉,并会在将来尽力改善饭店的服务。您若给我的账单打个折扣(附上收据),我将非常感谢。期待您得便时尽早给我圆满的答复。
您真诚的,
李明

范文
To Whom It May Concern,
As a student at our university, I should first commend you for the additional computers that you have recently added to the computer rooms. I am writing to you to request that the Internet be installed in the dormitories.
As you know, the Internet has become an increasingly important tool at university. Not only do professors require students to use it for research, but much communication is done between professors and students through email as well. In addition, some professors are beginning to post their lecture notes online for students to review in their spare time.
While there are a few computer labs with Internet access throughout campus, with over 20,000 students living in the dorms, there is a great need for more Internet access areas. Thank you for your time.
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

致有关人士:
作为本校的一名大学生,我首先很赞赏您最近为机房另外配置电脑的行动。我写信给您恳请在宿舍里安装互联网。
想必您也知道,互联网已经变成大学生活中很重要的一种工具。不仅教授们要求学生们使用网络进行科研调查,而且教授和学生间的很多沟通也是通过电子邮件完成的。此外,有些教授开始将自己的课堂讲义传到网上,供学生们在业余时间复习。
整个学校配备网络的机房数量不多,而住宿学生达两万多名,所以学生对更多网络的接入有很大的需求。谢谢您抽时间阅读我的邮件。
您真诚的,
李明
