based on their comments.On the 25th April,they attended a two-day computer course in creating PowerPoint presentations.However,on the first day the trainer arrived 30 minutes late,which was followed by a further delay due to a room change.As a result of this nearly 90 minutes was missed.In addition to this,my staff inform me that the approach of the trainer was to let participants discover solutions to problems rather than being told what to do.Despite having been very satisfied with your services in the past I may have to reconsider sending staff in the future.I would be grateful to hear any comments you have to make either by phone or in writing.I look forward to hearing from you.Yours sincerelyMrs A HeneageHuman Resources

a letter to the hotel manager.Write 120-140 words using appropriate linking words or expressions.Swap letters with your partner.Now you are the manager.Write a reply to the letter.Respond to each complaint,again using appropriate linking words or phrases.Possible answersDear Sir or Madam,Following my recent experience of your hotel,I have decided to send you some feedback in the hope that you can improve your service.I arrived at reception at 6am on 7th November to find there was no record of my booking.As a result of this I waited 45 minutes.The following day,my two clients and I were delayed due to the meeting room being doubled-booked.Eventually we were given another smaller room.Finally,towels were not changed overnight.Room service explained that this was because of the hotels“environmentally friendly”policy.While I agree with the sentiment of this policy,I dont think that changing at least one towel is unreasonable.Despite having been very satisfied with your service in the past I may have to reconsider using your hotel in the future.I would be grateful to hear any comments you have to make in writing.Yours faithfullyDear MThank you for your recent letter regarding your stay at our hotel.I regret that the experience did not achieve your normal expectations.I have now spoken to the staff involved and as a result I am in a position to comment.Unfortunately,our online booking system has been undergoing some changes and this may have affected both your booking of a room and the meeting rooms.I apologise for any delays but please note that all our meeting rooms are equipped with the same level of services.With regard to the policy on towels,the hotel feels that it must play its part in working towards helping the environment and so we have recently considered a number of ways in which to achieve this.However,your comments on towels will be raised at our next meeting on this policy.Following your letter therefore,I wish to apologise for any inconvenience caused.I would like to offer you a free two-day voucher which can be used at this hotel in the future.We look forward to your next visit and any further feedback you have.Best regardsYours sincerelyL/O/G/OThank you!Thank you!
