Part 4: Express your disappoint feeling and suggestions:

4.1 To your friends:
Eg: Taken 2 books instead of 4 books ang the $5 overdue fees. Feelings and
suggestion?Hi
Hi Jenny,
I’m annoyed about the new rules in the library. Are they kidding me? 2 books
aren’t enough for a fast reader like me and the $5 overdue fees are ridiculous!
Why don’t we charge us to be members? This would keep the number of
members down, wouldn’t it?
I’m going to write to them soon. Wish me luck!
Cheer, Ha.

*Formal Emails:
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with​ new regulations of the library. I
would understand that your library has limited financial resources, but the
changes are ​unwarranted​ and I feel very disappointed.
Firstly, two books are not ​sufficient​ for fast reader like myself. Now I need to
visit the library twice per week instead of once. It is difficult for me because I
am very busy at work.
Secondly, the $5 overdue penalty fees seem extremely harsh. For people who do
not have much money like me, I feel so ​depressed​ and I wonder if I could be a
member anymore.
For these reasons, may I suggest some alternative solutions for you? If members
could charge the modest fees, the number of members would decrease and you
will have income to purchase more books. Thank you for your attention to this
matter.
I look forward to hearing from you,
Regards,
Trinh Thuy Ha

Hi Jenny,
I’m sure you’ve seen the latest email. So disappointing and out of the blue, isn’t
it? I feel deeply depressed when I read that notice. What do you think about
using another pool for our club? I know that there are many other pools near the
sports hall.
I’m going to write to them soon. Wish me luck!
Cheer, Ha.

Dear Sir Freddy Kruger,

I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the closing of the pool and sport
halls. I would understand you are planning to repair some old things but the
changes are unwarranted and I feel deeply depressed.
Firstly, I have prepared a lots to join the competition next month but now I was
noticed so that I do not have anywhere to practice squash. It is really terrible for
me.
Secondly, I was not received any notice about the time when the pool and sport
halls will be opened. I still wonder because I need to play squash every day.
For those reasons, may I suggest some alternative solutions to your problem?
Personally, I think it is possible to use another pools because there are many
pools near the sports hall. Thank you for your attention to this matter.
I look forward to hearing from you soon,
Your faithfully,

Eg 4:​ ​You are a member of the Bookworm book club.

*The book club has told you that they have decided to stop giving members
one free
book per month. There will be no free books starting from next month.
*The book club has also told you that your order from last month will be
delivered six
weeks later than expected.
Part 1: Write an email to your friend. Tell your friend how you feel about
the news from the book
club. Tell your friend what you think the book club should do.

Hi Jenny,
I’m sure you’ve seen the latest news from the Bookworm book club. So
disappointing and out of the blue, isn’t it? I feel really mad when I heard that
notices and they didn’t give us any reasons why they did it. They must give me
all the moneys which I paid.
I’m going to write to them soon. Wish me luck!
Cheer, Ha.
Part 2: Write an email to the Bookworm book club Customer Services
Manager, explain your feelings about the situation and tell the Customer
Services Manager what you would like the book club to do.
Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my dissatisfaction with the new regulations of the club
and the service I received. I would understand your club has your own reasons,
by the way, the changes are unwarranted and I feel deeply depressed.
Firstly, one book per month is sufficient for a slow reader like me. Moreover, if
I were a new member of the club, I would need one month trial to ensure the
qualities of the books.
Secondly, I ordered books 5 weeks ago and I am really waiting for it. But I
didn’t receive any information about my order was delayed.
For these reasons, may I suggest some alternative solutions to your problem? In
my opinion, you should organize one meeting to explain the changes in the club.
I also require you to repay me all the money which I purchased.
Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to hearing from you
soon.
Yours faithfully,
Trinh Thuy Ha

more information about your house.
I would like to ask how much money I pay per month. Because I will live with
three friends, it would be grateful if your house could have three bedrooms. If
your house has sufficient facilities, it will be suitable for us in order to we do
not need to buy other things. In addition, I have a huge love for planting
flowers, therefore I expect a little garden is wonderful.
