culture of other countries and know a little more about them. I love learning this because I like.

This month I’m going to be very occupied, so I don’t care but the next month I would have two meetings, one

Hi Cristina,
I’m really brassed off about the Multicultural Course. I have just received an email which says that next
month’s meeting has been cancelled too. Then, I don’t know when we’ll have it. We might suggest that they
do realize the meetings in April or online. What do you think about this proposal?

Juan
 Now,write an email to the course's manager,showing your disagreement with the
situation and asking for solutions. Write about 120-150 words. You have 20 minutes.

Dear Sir or Madam,

I am writing in relation with the previous e-mail and I want to show you my disagreement about the
cancelled meetings to take effect from next months.

I signed up for the course three weeks ago and I feel it is unacceptable to meeting has been
cancelled so soon after signing up.

I would like to suggest two alternatives:

1. The first alternative is that I disagree because I have joined here because you offer us meetings
every month but it is not true.
2. The second alternative is that may I suggest possible alternatives like doing online meeting or
two meeting in April.

In addition, I would like to have further information about when the next meetings will be held.

I look forward to hearing back from you if my recommendations is acceptable if not, I will look at
other course offers.

Thank you for your attention.

Yours faithfully,

Juan.
