Subject: Hi!

Dear Mr. Mallory,

I am writing to tell you my deep disappointment for my experience at Lingua Nova English summer school in the first two weeks of July. I had been thoroughly looking forward to learning English and learning about culture in the UK, but I am afraid that my time at your summer school failed to live up to my expectations.

Your brochure states that the student accommodation is situated "in the heart of Edinburgh". This is misleading as my accommodation was, in fact, situated a good fifty minutes bus ride from the city center in what I can only describe as a less than picturesque part of the suburbs.

In addition, the activity programme did not reflect the fact that we were located in one of Europe's most interesting and historical cities: one evening activity consisted of a walk to a nearby park, another was a trip to a narrow street which was not usually used by cars. Finally, on our one trip into the city center our "guide" readily admitted that she was not from Edinburgh, and had in fact never visited the city before. I had been eagerly expecting a guided tour of Scotland's treasures. In fact, I was left in the city center with no map and told to "check things out" while your employee went shopping in Princes Street.

This was a long awaited trip and cost me over two years' hard work and saving. Although I do have positive memories of my trip (my English teachers were knowledgeable and inspiring), the accommodation and activity programme were wholly unsatisfactory.

I would like to get my money back for the accommodation and would really appreciate a reply within the next two weeks.

Yours sincerely,

Jovan Gagic

Answer 1

【答案】

【1】C

【2】B

【3】A

【解析】

試題分析：本文講的是主人公報(bào)名了一個(gè)英國(guó)的暑期假日學(xué)校，但是去了之后發(fā)現(xiàn)環(huán)境很差，與介紹人描述的絲毫不符，為了向其表達(dá)不滿(mǎn)，寫(xiě)了這封郵件。

【1】C 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。郵件第一句I am writing to tell you my deep disappointment for my experience at Lingua Nova English summer school in the first two weeks of July.闡述寫(xiě)信是為了表達(dá)自己對(duì)experience 的deep disappointment，與C 選項(xiàng)的敘述相符。

【2】B 細(xì)節(jié)理解題。本題定位到文章的第三段Finally, on our one trip into the city center our "guide" readily admitted that she was not from Edinburgh, and had in fact never visited the city before.從下文可知，作者在城市里no map and told to “checking things out”可知，導(dǎo)游不合格，與第二個(gè)選項(xiàng)描述相符。

【3】A 推理判斷題。由文章最后一段可知，作者想向Mallory 要回住宿費(fèi)用，并且全文都在說(shuō)作者在英國(guó)的情況與之前介紹不符，所以是想讓介紹人感到愧疚。
