Topic 3
An: Good morning, customer service. How can I help you ?
Bap: I’m a guest of room 207. I’m phoning to complain about the hotel’s service.
An: Oh I’m sorry to hear that. Can you explain the problem to me ?
Bap: Well, the first problem is about housekeeping; when I got my room, there were some
pieces of paper on the floor next to the door. Then, I wasn’t able to watch the TV last night
because I couldn’t find the remote.
An: I’m very sorry. Our aim to give excellent customer service to all our customer and I’m so
sorry we let you down
Bap: Well, I’m very annoyed; but there’s one more things; I’m in the room which is next to
the elevator
An: Oh yes. I remember . Is there anything else wrong ?
Bap: Last night, I couldn’t sleep because I kept hearing loud talking nearby, not only that, the
sound of the elevator moving is also annoying me. Why did the staff keep moving furniture
all day ? The noise of all these things is very disturbing me.
An: I understand, but yesterday the staff of the hotel didn’t move the furniture, maybe there
were just moving the luggage for guest. If you feel annoyed; we can change a room for you
Bap: That’s great. Thanks for your help
An: I’m really sorry about all these things; please wait for the manager to come and guide
you
Bap: Ok. Thanks
Topic 4
An: Hi vy. Sorry I’m late. The traffic was terrible
Bap: It’s ok. Don’t worry about that. I just arrived about 5 minutes ago
An: Why do you look so sad? Did something happen ?
Bap: I didn’t get good English marks for my periodic test. I made a lot of mistakes.
An: Oh, I’m sorry to hear that. That’s bad news. I know how you feel. But you
know ,everyone has had bad scores like that, so try not to worry.
Bap: Even though I tried a lot, I still got bad grades, while my friends all got good grades. It
made me feel self-conscious and think I was stupid and not as good as everyone else.
An: Don’t think that. Stay positive. Maybe you haven’t really studied properly. I’ll tell you a
few ways to improve quickly. Cheer up. It’s not the end of the world
Bap: Really? I often forget vocabulary quickly.Especially when I listen, I don't understand
what words people are talking about, but when I read, I know the meaning of those
words.Can you help me how to improve this ?
An: Well, I think you need to increase your vocabulary, listen and copy dictation. See what I
mean?
Bap: Sorry, I don’t get you. Can you explain more specifically?
An: Nothing. What I’m trying to say is you can listen to music and read books to improve
your English. Especially use sticky notes in the house. Why don’t you try watching TV in
English and movies with bilingual subtitles ? It’ll help you a lot in improving your listening
and vocabulary
Bap: Thanks, An. That sounds like a great idea ! I really appreciate your help.

meeting new friends. But after studying together for a semester, I felt much better.
