Перевод задания: Прочитайте часть письма, отправленного в языковой центр, и выберите наиболее подходящие фразы. Затем напишите подходящее начало письма.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing to complain about the course I attended at your language centre.

In addition to this, the course was an absolute waste of money. The books you supplied me with were in bad condition and many of them were written in. Some of the teachers had a low level of English and they hardly ever turned up on time for the lessons. If this wasn’t bad enough, there was no heating in any of the classrooms and I almost froze to death. I demand a full refund for this course.

Перевод:

Уважаемые господа!

Я пишу, чтобы пожаловаться на курс, который я посещал(а) в вашем языковом центре.

Кроме того, курс оказался совершенно пустой тратой денег. Книги, которые вы мне предоставили, были в плохом состоянии, и во многих из них были записи. Некоторые преподаватели плохо владели английским языком и почти никогда не приходили на занятия вовремя. Мало того, во всех классах не было отопления, и я чуть не замёрз(ла) насмерть. Я требую полного возврата денег за этот курс.
