Dear Sir/Madam,

I recently ordered some jeans from your catalogue. When it arrived I found that one leg was short enough and the other was torn. I have tried speaking to one of your representatives about this, but no one answers the phone. For this reason, I have decided writing an email.

Over the years I have spent much money with your company. Generally, your goods is excellent quality and I have had a few problems. However, I have been very disappointed by this latest purchase. I would like either a refund or a replacement.

I hope hearing from you soon.

Yours faithfully,

Ann Grey

Найдите и исправьте восемь ошибок.

Ответ:

1. Original: "When it arrived I found..."
Correction: "When they arrived I found..."
Reason: "Jeans" is a plural noun, so the pronoun referring to it should be "they", not "it".
Русский перевод: "Джинсы" — существительное во множественном числе, поэтому местоимение, относящееся к нему, должно быть "они", а не "оно".

2. Original: "...one leg was short enough..."
Correction: "...one leg was too short..."
Reason: "Short enough" implies sufficiency, but in a complaint, "too short" indicates a problem.
Русский перевод: "Достаточно короткий" подразумевает достаточность, но в жалобе "слишком короткий" указывает на проблему.

3. Original: "...no one answers the phone."
Correction: "...no one has answered the phone."
Reason: The present perfect tense ("has answered") is more appropriate here to describe the result of past attempts to speak to a representative.
Русский перевод: Настоящее совершенное время ("has answered") здесь более уместно для описания результата прошлых попыток поговорить с представителем.

4. Original: "...decided writing an email."
Correction: "...decided to write an email."
Reason: The verb "decide" is typically followed by an infinitive (to + verb).
Русский перевод: Глагол "решить" обычно следует за инфинитивом (to + глагол).

5. Original: "...your goods is excellent quality..."
Correction: "...your goods are excellent quality..."
Reason: "Goods" (in the sense of merchandise) is a plural noun, so it requires the plural verb "are".
Русский перевод: "Товары" (в смысле продукции) — существительное во множественном числе, поэтому требует глагола множественного числа "являются".

6. Original: "...your goods are excellent quality..."
Correction: "...your goods are of excellent quality..."
Reason: The idiomatic expression for describing quality is "of excellent quality".
Русский перевод: Идиоматическое выражение для описания качества — "отличного качества".

7. Original: "I have spent much money..."
Correction: "I have spent a lot of money..."
Reason: In positive statements, "a lot of" is generally preferred over "much" when referring to a large quantity.
Русский перевод: В утвердительных предложениях "много" (a lot of) обычно предпочтительнее, чем "много" (much), когда речь идет о большом количестве.

8. Original: "...excellent quality and I have had a few problems."
Correction: "...excellent quality, but I have had a few problems."
Reason: "But" is a more appropriate conjunction than "and" to introduce a contrasting idea (excellent quality vs. having problems).
Русский перевод: "Но" является более подходящим союзом, чем "и", для введения контрастной идеи (отличное качество против наличия проблем).
