you saw a private message from a host family.
Dear au pair,
I am sorry to inform you that we won’t be able to keep your £70/week salary due to
recent financial problems. For this reason we have found ourselves forced to reduce
it a 10%.
We feel so sorry about it and will appreciate your comprehension.
Kind regards,
Jane

Hello Sara,
What do you think about the decrease of 10% of my working salary? I can’t believe they are going to
lower my salary and work the same hours. If you ask me, the family should offer me fewer hours of
work if they plan to pay less. I just signing up and already a decrease of my salary.

¡Sigue así! :D
your feelings about the change and suggesting possible alternatives. Write about 120-

I am writing in relation with the previous e-mail and I want to show you my disagreement about the
decrease of 10% of my working salary to take effect from next week.
I have been working with you for three weeks and I feel It is unacceptable to decrease my salary so
soon after signing up. I think you should rethink the my salary decrease If I am not doing my job very
well.
I look forward to hearing back from you If my recommendation is acceptable if not, I will look at other
job offers.
Yours faithfully.
Juan
