Class two:
In class two we are going to look at a skill the British people have mastered: the art of complaining politely! We will begin with a general discussion in groups about complaints, before looking at some fantastic language to use when complaining- this could be used verbally or in a written task. Students will work in pairs to complete two hotel role plays, in which a guest is complaining to hotel staff. To finish the class we will look at a letter of complaint and how to structure it appropriately.
Homework: Letter of Complaint
