Complaint email about a terrible holiday

ANA CARMEN SANCHEZ PENA

Here you have some work, guys!

This link is a model sample of an article that answers the writing task posed on page 63 Open World:  Article: Terrible Holidays

What I would like you to write is a Complaint email. It will not be taken as compulsory work or part of your final mark. Take into account,  nevertheless, that there will not be much time left to go on as planned with the school year when we resume the lessons. There may be things in the syllabus we will not have time to see, including certain writing formats, so the more you do now, if you can, the better.

The links below are a chart of the Complaint layout (already seen in class) and an example of an email of complaint that you might be interested in reading:

Giselle

The most influential of all Romantic ballets, ‘Giselle’ was a huge success on its premiere in Paris in 1841, and has remained at the centre of classical repertory ever since. Choreographer Peter Wright’s haunting production for the Royal Ballet has received more than 550 performances since it had its opening night in 1985.
Watch this video of rehearsals for the 2015 production of Wright’s ‘Giselle’, with former Royal Ballet Principal Guest Artist Carlos Acosta in a memorable performance of Prince Albrecht and mesmerising Royal Ballet Prima Ballerina Natalia Osipova in the role of the young peasant girl betrayed by her lover.

Watch the video and do the gap-filling exercise below (pdf).
