UNIT 7
Subject: Recommendation for Language Training Courses
Dear General Manager,
I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to recommend some language training courses
for our company. After careful consideration, I believe our company needs training in English,
French, and Chinese. These languages are essential for our business because we have many
clients and partners from countries where these languages are spoken.
To address this need, I suggest three different options for language training:
   1. In-House Training: We can hire professional language teachers to conduct classes at our
      office. This option allows flexibility in scheduling and can be tailored to our specific
      needs.
   2. Online Courses: There are many reputable online platforms offering language courses.
      This option provides convenience and accessibility for all employees.
   3. Language Institutes: We can partner with local language institutes to provide courses
      for our employees. This option offers structured and intensive training programs.
After evaluating these options, I recommend the In-House Training program. It provides
personalized and flexible learning experiences, which I believe will be most beneficial for our
team.
Thank you for considering my recommendations. I look forward to your feedback.

I am writing to tell you about problems with our recent order. We ordered 1000 crates of

some items inside were broken. This has caused a lot of trouble for us.
We have tried many times to talk to your team, but no one responded. We have had problems

To fix this, we need you to send new items for the damaged ones and look at our contract again

forced to stop working with you and find a new supplier. Please reply to this complaint quickly
