5. He decided to take the job. However, the pay isn’t very good.
I have just returned from a weekend break at The Royal Malvern Hotel, and I am writing to express
my dissatisfaction with the food and service provided in your restaurant.
Firstly, there was very little variety in the food and sometimes no choice at all. Secondly, the service
was very slow most of the time and we had to wait half an hour between courses. And finally, when
we complained to the head waiter about these delay, he was very rude and the service didn’t
improve.
I sincerely hope that immediate actions will be taken to improve this situation, and I shall expect a
letter of apology and explanation for this very poor standard of service in a hotel with such a fine
reputation.
Yours faithfully

Activity 5.
Possible answer:
Samuel created an account on Questions.com. At first, he had fun and joke around
sending funny messages. However, he started to receive mean messages from an
anonymous person. Even though he told the bully to leave him alone, this thing still
kept going. He was too embarrassed to tell his parents and friends. Finally, it got to the
point where it became a nightmare. He decided to tell his baseball coach. The coach told
Samuel to screenshot the messages, save everything and delete his account. Eventually,
the cyberbully turned out to be one of his friends. His friend promised to never do that
again.
