Dear sir,
I am writing to give details of my dissatisfaction with my stay at the New Hotel, Los Christianos, which
I booked with your company for my family and me.
My central (complain) ____________________ is that the hotel fell far short of the description
in the brochure. We had booked two double suites. Although the rooms were billed as (of four stars)
______________________accommodation, they were very cramped, and the furnishings were worn
and dirty. In addition, the shower in my room (not work) ______________________. The hotel’s
grounds, described in the brochure as “pleasant, tranquil, and (space) ______________________,”
were in fact bordered on two sides by a very busy main road. The swimming pool was closed the entire
week for repairs. When we spoke to your representative, she promised (try)_____________________
to get the shower fixed, but this took an (unacceptable)______________________long time to
happen—three days from when we first (complain)________________________.

Okay, everyone. I want to review the first two days of our travel itinerary for the trip.
Okay, yeah, please take out the paper that I handed out earlier. Okay. Uh. First of all,
we have been very fortunate to have been able to purchase discount tickets
to cover most of the transportation costs and scheduling (scheduled) activities. And I
want to also thank the, uh, group of parents who, uh, worked very hard in order to, uh,
raise funding, uh, through different businesses in the community. I really appreciate
that.
Uh, let's see. Okay, everyone should meet at the airport at 6:00 a.m. This will give you
time to check in and get through security. Our plane departs at 9:00.
Uh, our plane arrives in New York at 3:00 p.m, and we will take a bus from the airport to
the hotel. We've been able to get great rates on this hotel because we're staying on a
weekday instead of the weekend.
In the morning, for any of you who like to get exercise, we will be meeting in the lobby
around 6:00 a.m. to go jogging around Central Park for about 45 minutes, and we'll get
back to the hotel about the time when the restaurant opens, so you'll have enough time
to grab a quick breakfast before we leave the hotel at 8:00. We'll be taking a ferry ride
to Ellis Island and then to Liberty Island to visit the Statue of Liberty. I mean, this is
something that you really can't miss, and later, we will go to Times Square where you
will be able to have lunch on your own for about an hour from about 1 to 2.
Later in the afternoon, you have the choice of visiting the Empire State Building or the
Metropolitan Museum of Art. Either one of these is . . . are great*, and we have some
great, uh, group discounts. Uh, we will meet back at the hotel at 6:00 p.m., and we'll
have dinner at a very nice Italian restaurant downtown, and then we'll catch an exciting
broadway musical around 8:30 p.m.
Uh, any questions?
