Meanwhile, between then and the end of the century, the Red Sox played in only four

them all! Many called this the Curse of the Bambino, saying it was a 5
..................................................................... that selling
Babe Ruth had been a huge mistake and that the team was 6
..................................................................... to ever win
a championship again. They were wrong.
In 2004, after 86 years, the Red Sox finally made a 7
..................................................................... and won the World Series
at last. For the fans who had always loved their team 8

Subject: Complaint
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about my visit to your restaurant yesterday, Friday the 15th.
We booked
a table for six to celebrate a birthday but, unfortunately, the evening turned into a 1
...................................................
disappointment.
First of all, we were extremely unhappy with the menu choices. Your restaurant is
advertised as specialising in
Italian 2 ................................................... , so we were surprised when we found not one
pasta 3 ................................................... on the menu.
Secondly, when some of us ordered pizza, we were told that it would be served without
cheese, as
the restaurant had 4 ................................................... mozzarella. Again, we found this to
be surprising in an Italian restaurant,
which should have 5 ................................................... plenty of this staple ingredient.
I might have 6 ................................................... everything else if the food had been
good, but it wasn’t. Some of us took the
7 ................................................... and ordered capricciosa pizzas, without the cheese.
The crust was hardly baked and the
toppings were nearly 8 ................................................... . Furthermore, the “spicy” olive
and tomato salads were very
9 ................................................... . In fact, we found most of the food to be barely 10
................................................... .
Given that what was supposed to be a special occasion was so disappointing, I expect an
apology and some form
of compensation.
I look forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Ian Jefferson
