A complaint letter (2006 exam task)
Dear Thailand Getaway
I am writing to you because your fancy trip wasn't any good. All the promised attractions were either out of order or queued by a hundred donkeys.
"Relax on beautiful sandy beaches... " What the hell? I didn't see anything that reminded me sand on that beach and I couldn't walk there unless I stepped on somebody. It was like a nazi consentration camp after a barbeque.
Snorkelling? What am I, a dolphin? I need proper equipment to breathe under water. People will drown, you idiots, if you won't bring them equipment to get oxygen. And the elephants. There were so many people that I couldn't even see the big bastard.
Even the simplest thing - cycling. You idiots have bikes that will kill people the moment they start riding them. I almost got hit by an elephant, because the brakes didn't work. Yes! A f***ing elephant!! I couldn't see one if I was looking for it, and almost got killed by it.
Get your shit together and make things work. Oh, and I want my money back or I will sue your ass.
