Directions: For this part, you are allowed 30 minutes to write a short essay on the following situation. You should write at least 150 words but no more than 200 words.
Suppose you have spent a three-day holiday at a scenic spot, where the hotel service was not good, and the arrangement was not satisfying, and you would like to write a complaint letter to the management office to express your dissatisfaction and expectation.
審題立意
1. 導語解讀:要求考生根據提示的語言場景寫一封投訴信,投訴你入住的某一賓館服務不好,同時也寫出你的期望。
2. 文章立意:投訴信要注重語氣,要把問題說清楚,但不要把問題說得過于尖銳使矛盾激化而得不到很好的解決。因此,寫投訴信時要注意:一是將問題細節(jié)說清楚,二是表明期望問題以何種方式得以解決,如改善質量、賠償?shù)取?/p>
寫作思路
1. 第一段簡要說明入住的地點、時間和寫投訴信的目的。
2. 第二段投訴空調和噪音兩方面的問題。
3. 第三段誠懇地提出期望。
參考范文
Dear manager, 1
I feel sorry to trouble you but I am afraid I have to make a complaint about your hotel service. I spent a three-day holiday in your city and had a very dissatisfying stay in room 2198 of your hotel from the 1st to the 3rd of October. 2
For one thing, the air-conditioner doesn’t work. During the deep night, I felt very cold. Next day I told the staff about the air-conditioner but she said it was not cold enough to use it. 3 For another, the noise was extremely loud at night and I asked to change my room but I was told that there was not a vacant room in the hotel. Therefore, I had a terrible stay at your hotel. 3
I expect better service of your hotel. I strongly demand that you implement strict management and improve the service. Otherwise, you’ll see fewer and fewer customers in your hotel. 4 If you could take the matter into consideration and solve it at your earliest convenience, I shall appreciate it very much. 5
Yours sincerely, 6

尊敬的經理:
很抱歉打擾你,不過我恐怕不得不投訴你們酒店的服務。我在貴市度假三天,從十月一日到三日住宿在你們賓館2198房間,這三天令我十分不滿。
首先,你們的空調是壞的。在深夜,我覺得十分寒冷。第二天我告訴工作人員關于空調的事,但是她說還沒冷到用空調的地步。其次,晚上噪音很大,我要求更換房間但是被告知已經沒有空房。因此,我在你們賓館住得很糟糕。
我希望你們能提供更好的服務。我強烈要求你們嚴格加強管理并且提升服務。否則,你們會看到越來越少的顧客光顧你們的賓館。如果你能及時考慮此事并且第一時間加以解決,我將對此深表感激。
此致
邁克

句法點評
1. I strongly demand that you implement strict management and improve the service.
此句用了投訴信中常用的句式I strongly demand that,表示強烈要求某事得以解決。
2. If you could take the matter into consideration and solve it at your earliest convenience, I shall appreciate it very much.
此句是寄希望于問題得到解決的客套話語,語氣委婉,同時又表達了感激之意。
