Damaged Goods

 Imagine that you bought something online, but when the item arrived, there was something wrong with it.

Write a letter of complaint. Use 120-140 words.

You might follow this plan:
P1: introduce your reason for writing (I am writing to complain about...). Give some background information: when and where you ordered the item, and how you paid for the order.
P2: write your first complaint to the company (My first complaint is...) and the negative consequence (I am afraid that...; Unfortunately, ...) 
P3: write your other complaints (In addition to this...; Furthermore, ...) and the negative consequence
P4: offer a solution (I would like to request that...; I would be grateful if you could...)
P5: express hope that your problem will be resolved

The following  phrases might help you:
- to express dissatisfaction: I am disappointed because...
- to end the letter: I look forward to hearing from you; Thank you in advance.

Don't forget to start your letter with 'Dear Sir or Madam', and sign it off with 'Yours faithfully'!

• What is the story about? Who are the characters? What are they like? What do they do?
• What is the aim of the game?

The Passive Voice

When we want to show that the action is more important than the person who carries it out, aka the agent, we use the passive voice.

As you already know, we need the verb to be in the appropriate tense (present simple: am/is/are, past simple: was/were, present perfect: has/have been, future simple: will be) and the past participle of the main verb to form the passive.
