Please compare Letter A with Letter B, and comment on both of them. Then, revise your favorite one for effectiveness. Add any information if necessary. Letter A Dear Mr Hope Thank you for your order of 19 March, but I’m afraid you’ve got it wrong. The giraffes cost $10.00 not $0.9, so do you still want them or not? Perhaps you could let us know as soon as possible, as you are holding up the order. Yours sincerely Sara Letter B Dear Mr Hope Thank you very much for your Order, number 346, which we received this morning. At the moment we are unable to supply the goods as there seems to be a discrepancy over the price of the giraffes. Our quotation 1345 states the cost per giraffe to be $1.0, where you state $0.9 on your Order. Our Quotation is the correct price and we wonder if you would be kind enough to telephone us, at your convenience, to clarify this matter. We look forward to hearing from you. Yours sincerely Sara
听力原文:M: Hello.
W: Hello, John. This is Florence Richardson. I'm sorry to phone you at this hour, hat I'm experiencing a sticky issue, and I can't think of anyone to get advice from besides you.
M: What's up?
W: Well, I moved to my present apartment a couple months ago and now I'm thinking of deferring my studies and planning to return to my parents' place next month. Today, I gave notice to my landlord but he said he's unable to give my deposit back since I have to stay a minimum of six months.
M: Are you giving him a-month-in-advance notice to move?
W: Yes, that's exactly what I did today. In the tenancy agreement, that's the timeframe. requested to notify the landlord.
M: Yes, that's the usual practice. Well, in the tenancy agreement, did it state that there's a minimum of six months stay or the deposit would be forfeited?
W: Not that I could remember.
M: Well, I have never heard of it either. It could be the landlord is trying to intimidate you. Perhaps you should pull your contract out and have a word with him.
W: Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking of.
M: If the contract does not state the time frame, then he shouldn't impose it himself.
W: You are right, John. You just confirmed my reasoning.
M: Look, Sarah, I'll go with you to see the landlord tomorrow and if he still insists on forfeiting your deposit, we'll go to the small claim court to get your money back.
W: Thanks, John, I really appreciate that.
