GENERAL WRITING TASK 1
Two weeks ago you bought a radio from a local branch of a well-known chain shop. It did not work properly. The shop took it back and said they would repair it. You have waited a week and still, it is not ready. Write a letter to the shop to complain. In your letter –
– tell what has happened
– how you feel about it
– ask them to repair the radio very soon or supply you with a new radio
SAMPLE ANSWER
Dear Sir or Madam,
Last week I left a radio to be repaired but it is not ready yet. My name is Rakesh Soni and I am a regular customer of your store.
Let me explain the situation in detail. On 10th March I bought Revo Super Signal deluxe AM/FM radio with 1 year warranty from your Revo branded shop on Charni Road. Unfortunately, it malfunctioned as soon as I took it home. The sound quality is very poor and volume function is also not working well. In addition, the radio stops playing abruptly. The very next day, I reported this issue to your representative, and returned the product hoping that it would be either repaired or replaced within the next two days.
Almost one week has passed and I am yet to hear from you. As you know, it is not acceptable to wait for so long to get a radio repaired. You should have completed this job in two days. I like this model and I would like to keep it so I request you to either expedite the repair work or provide me a brand new replacement.
If neither of them is possible then I would like to ask for a full refund immediately or else I will be forced to take up this matter with your higher management.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully
