Tom
Sometimes we need to complain.
But how can we do this politely and in a British way?
First, we can begin would like to to say what we want.
Hi i would like to speak to the manager. Yes, I'd like to complain.
We can say I am unhappy about plus a noun phrase.
Yes, I am unhappy about my late delivery.
We can also add very or really to make this stronger.
Yeah, I'm really unhappy about this.
We can also say it's unacceptable that plus a clause.
Yeah, it's unacceptable that my delivery is late.
Remember, don't lose your temper.
This means don't become too angry - it's rude to lose your temper.
This is good advice - we can say this to people who are angry with us:
Alright! Don't lose your temper.
- Being polite: giving opinions and talking about mistakes
- Rules for silent 'e' (part 2)
- Modifying comparative adjectives
