d. Read Raoul’s letter of complaint to the restaurant. Underline the five phrases that have incorrect facts.
To the Manager:
Sam’s Seafood and Steak House
Dear Sir,
I am writing to complain about the terrible evening I spent last night at your restaurant.
Firstly, the restaurant was very crowded and noisy and we had to wait nearly two hours for a table. Secondly, there wasn’t even a tablecloth on our table! Thirdly, the service was disgusting and the waiter not only brought us the wrong food, but my girlfriend’s steak was burned and my shrimps were very bitter. This was our first date and our evening was ruined.
I hope you take this complaint seriously and compensate me for the meal. My girlfriend and I are both suffering from bad stomachaches and we had to cancel our trip abroad.
Sincerely, Raoul Trump
