(show the complaints on the powerpoint.) please read them together.key words: complaints: it wont open the zip broke it wont work indoors the sound is distorted the alarm doesnt work the heel fell off the headphones dont work its not waterproof the picture is bad the colour faded after one wash it loses about five minutes every hour it doesnt keep drinks hot or cold.after reading the complaint, ask students to match the products with the key words: complaintst: now please work in groups and match the products (1-7) with the key words: complaints.t: please imagine you bought one of the products and something went wrong with it. make notes about these things. what went wrong with the product? what false claims did the advertisement make? what happened when you took it back to the shop? you may work in groups and organize your notes into four or five paragraphs. then use your plan to write the letter. you may refer to writing help 2 on page 98. after finishing the letter, dont forget to check your essay. when you write a formal letter of complaint: the structure of a complaint letter should be organized in order to explain exactly what is wrong. the first paragraph should contain essential information such as: what was the product / service ordered / expected, why you were dissatisfied and how you were affected. the second paragraph should state what is wanted of the individual, company or organization. the third paragraph is the “be nice” paragraph. this is where you thank them for their time. the content of a complaint letter should have a calm and courteous tone. be sure that the letter doesnt sound opinionated, aggressive, argumentative or whiny. if you write in a way that frustrates or angers the reader, the letter will not be as affective and the individual(s) at fault will be less likely to comply with your demands. less offensive expressions will get the message across just as well and the objective of the letter will be accomplished. writing a letter of complaint is also about the importance of standing up for yourself. instead of putting up with peoples mistakes, a letter helps to confront them. confronting them will help the individual(s) to realize their mistake(s) and perhaps they will change the way they conduct their business. they will most likely be thankful to you for helping them improve their company for future customers.as you can see, structure, content, and standing up for yourself are all essential to consider when writing a letter of complaint. once you are familiar with these three elements, the easier it will be to express your disappointments in writing. simply keep the following three in mind. (show the following on the powerpoint.)1) start your letter with a clear paragraph showing your reason for writing.2) divide the body of your letter into paragraphs by using the appropriate linking words and expressions.3) make sure you say what actions you expect to be taken about your complaint, such as an apology or compensation.now you are given 10 minutes to write the letter.students are given enough time to write the letter. after they finish the letter, ask several students to read their letters to the class. or show their letters on the projector, correct the mistakes with the whole class if there is any. if time is limited, students may finish writing the report out of class.step v homework1. do ex 4 on page 75.2. finish the letter of complaint.samplessample 1 1130 patterson drive sarasota, florida 34234 march 10, 2007 delias435 hudson streetnew york, new york 10014dear sir/madam,on september 20, i ordered (by phone) a pair of brown leather peace mules for $36.99, which includes $4.99 for shipping and handling. when they were delivered to my home, the package was wet and the leather shoes were ruined.i am returning the shoes. i realize the shipping and handling fee is non-refundable, but i would like the original amount of $32.00 to be refunded.thank you for your attention to this matter.sincerely, laurel dowswellsample 21234 maukamakai streethonolulu, hi 96813 march 10, 2007broadway store111 main street, big citydearsir/madam,just one month ago, on febr
