-Jane: Oh, I see! Have you had a look at our profile as a host family? Would you like to work for us?

YOU: I have just had a look at your profile as a host family and I would like to say that you are a nice family. For

2. Now, write an email to the host family who sent you that private message, explaining your

feelings about the change and suggesting possible alternatives. Write about 120-150 words. You
have 20 minutes.

Dear host family,

I am Rocío Herrero, a valued member of the PERFECT AU PAIR service. I am writing to follow up on your
previous email regarding the change in my salary. Apparently, the service has decided to reduce my salary a
10%.
Honestly, I was looking forward to expressing my satisfaction about this reason. In fact, I feel really
disappointed and annoyed with the service.
Hence, I would like to suggest you some ideas:
If my salary will change, I have to work less hours because I am going to receive a lower salary than the
previous one.
Finally, the salary can’t be changed because when I joined to service, the service said me that the salaries
wouldn’t change.
Thank you for your attention. I would appreciate a resolution to this issue as soon as possible.
Yours Faithfully,
Rocío Herrero.
