Sample dialogues

B: Good morning! How can I help yo

u?

A: I’m sorry to say that I’m very unh

appy about your service. I flew fro

m Chengdu to Hangzhou and it wa

s the worst flight of my life.

B: I’m sorry to hear that. Please tell m

e what happened and I’ll see what I

can do about it.

A: Well, first of all, your airline lost on

e of my bags. I asked for help, but t

he people at the airport were very

rude. I hate to have to say this, but I

think that they are unfriendly and i

mpolite. They just said that they cou

ldn’t do anything about it and that it

was my responsibility to look for the

bag.

B: Hmm, I agree that they didn’t do thei

r job. I will mention this to my boss s

o that he can talk to them. Did you fi

nd the bag?

A: Yes, I did, but it took more than thre

e hours. What’s worse, My plane was

two hours late.As a result I was late f

or an important meeting!

B: Well, sometimes flights are changed.

It can be because of the weather or

some other problems. We can’t be a

lways sure that the plane will take o

ff on time.

A: Why didn’t you tell me the truth?

When I book the ticket, I explained

that I had to get there on time and

you said it was no problem.

B: I’m sorry, we cannot control things

like the weather.

A: And the food on the plane was

terrible.
