Условие.

5 Work in pairs. For each situation, choose the best form of compensation. Give reasons.

a financial compensation

b a replacement

c a refund

d an official apology

1 Some workmen have been fitting new windows. The work has lasted much longer than you expected, and this has caused a lot of disruption to your family's life.

2 You bought a theatre ticket to see a play. One of the actors became ill, so the play was cancelled just ten minutes before it was supposed to begin.

3 You bought a Discman. When you opened the box you found that the earphones were faulty.

4 You have just finished a project at college. A letter arrives from the college Principal which wrongly accuses you of cheating. You can prove this is untrue.

Mind the trap!

Compensation is uncountable.

I expect compensation. NOT I expect a compensation.

Решение.

Решение 2.

Работайте в парах. Для каждой ситуации выберите наилучшую форму компенсации. Объясните свой выбор.

Ответ:

1. I would choose a financial compensation because the long delay caused a lot of inconvenience for my family. / Я бы выбрал финансовую компенсацию, потому что длительная задержка доставила много неудобств моей семье.

2. I would ask for a refund. Since the play was cancelled, I should get my money back because I didn't get to see it. / Я бы попросил возврат денег. Так как спектакль отменили, я должен получить свои деньги обратно, потому что я его не увидел.

3. I would want a replacement. The earphones were broken when I bought them, so I need a new pair that works. / Я бы хотел замену. Наушники были сломаны, когда я их купил, поэтому мне нужна новая пара, которая работает.

4. I would demand an official apology. Being wrongly accused of cheating is a serious accusation that hurts my reputation. An apology from the Principal would clear my name. / Я бы потребовал официальных извинений. Несправедливое обвинение в списывании — это серьезное обвинение, которое вредит моей репутации. Извинения от директора очистили бы мое имя.
