Read the following letter and mark the letter A, B, C, or D on your answer sheet to indicate the

Dear Sir,
Last Tuesday evening, I went with two friends to your restaurant for my 18 th birthday. I’d booked the
table for eight o’clock and we arrived about ten minutes late, but that was not a problem. The waiter,
who was very polite, showed us to our table and we studied the menu. I ordered a fish pie and my
friends ordered some salads. However, after about fifteen minutes, the waiter informed us that there
was no more fish pie. He apologized and suggested ordering something else. I looked at the menu again
and decided to have the same as my friends – a salad.
When the food came, it was very good. After we’d finished, we decided to order some desserts. The
waiter said that, unfortunately, it was too late. There wasn’t enough time for us to order desserts. He
said he was very sorry but our table was reserved by another group at nine thirty and we would have to
leave.
We paid the bill and left feeling very disappointed. It spoilt my birthday. Nobody told us when we
arrived that there was a time limit. It was very unsatisfactory and I doubt that we’ll go to your
restaurant again.
Yours faithfully,
Martin Cary
