4 Dear (1.) Mr Smith,
I am writing to complain about (2.) the accommodation that
your company provides.
According to your website, (3.) the apartments are all modern
and sunny. In fact, (4.) the apartment I stayed in was built in
the 1970s and dark. The floors in the kitchen and bathroom
were broken and dirty. In addition to this, (5.) the washing
machine was not working.
I was also very disappointed (6.) to find that the apartment
was a long way from the beach, and not “a ten-minute walk”
as specified in the brochure.
I had to move to another apartment, which took me time
and cost me money. I paid over $300 as a deposit on your
apartment, and now I expect to receive a full refund. (7.)
I would also like (8.) you to change the information on your
website and in your brochures.
I look forward to receiving a satisfactory reply. (9.)
Yours sincerely, (10.)

2 A man sent himself in a wooden box from New York to
Dallas because he thought it was the cheapest way to fly.
Charles McKinley, 25, missed his family but thought the flight
home would be too expensive. A friend told him it would
be cheaper to go as cargo. In fact, the cost of sending the
wooden box was higher than an economy class seat.
After a 15-hour journey in which McKinley had no food or
water, the box was delivered to his parents’ home. McKinley
surprised everybody by jumping out of the box. The delivery
man called the police immediately, and McKinley was arrested.
