Discuss to esure learers uderstad all three. 4. Play the voic message the work as a group to idetify which of the three scearios described accurately reflects the recorded message. (Aswer: sceario 2) Listeig Text (20.1.1_Eg.mp3) Hi Raj this is Pedro from Felix Fie Furiture. We received our latest order from you today. Um, order 2562 for your referece. Have a look at the order. You ll see we ordered more stock o eight products from your Moder Elegace lie. The real problem is that this is t the first time. We had problems with last moth s order ad we had problems i February too. I m ot sure what to say. You kow we ve bee loyal cliets of yours for years, but these problems are costig us moey. The time we should be spedig assemblig, we re spedig callig our customers about delays. 2 Lesso Pla 20 Respodig to Complaits Cetre for Caadia Laguage Bechmarks, 2009 There s a problem. The two drawer frots we ordered arrived scratched, ad istead of gettig brass roud hadles ad ickel cube hadles we got ickel roud hadles ad brass cube hadles. (icreasigly upset toe) That s problems with three of the eight items i the order! That s almost half the order!!

3 Learig Activities You eed to give me a call right away. Right ow it s uh Moday at 11:00. I m here util 1:00, the I have a meetig. I should be back at my desk by 2:30 at the latest.

Ask learers to read the questios to themselves before you play the voic with the aswers. Play the voic as may times as required to get the details. Debrief resposes to the questios as a group, discussig learer resposes to questio 8. Activity 2: How to Respod to Complaits Part 1 1. Have learers work i groups of 3-4 to braistorm possible resposes for Raj. Ecourage learers to cosider what they might say i additio to providig a apology. 2. Debrief as a whole group. Make a list of learer resposes o the board i three ulabelled categories (you may eed a fourth category for greetigs). 3. Label the categories at the ed of the debriefig. For example: Apologies Explaatios ad Excuses Offers to improve the situatio I m really sorry about the mistakes. I m so sorry Pedro. We have had problems with our computers. We have ew staff. We will sed you the right products right away Although this wo t happe agai, I ca offer you a 10% discout I will persoally check your ext order Part 2 4.

Lead a discussio about icludig a offer to improve the situatio. Get learers to recogize that differet listeers may iterpret these offers differetly. For example, some may iterpret the offer of a discout as a geerous gesture, whereas others may iterpret the same offer as a attempt by the speaker to miimize the problem. Part Have learers work i pairs to practise leavig a message for Pedro i respose to his message. Learers should be ecouraged to provide costructive feedback o the resposes provided by their parters.

Braistorm as a class additioal situatios where you might eed to respod to a complait. For example: A classmate complais that your task is takig too log, delayig his or her ow work. A eighbour complais that you are playig music too loudly. A housemate complais that you take too log i the shower, leavig isufficiet water for themselves.
