The task is to write a letter of complaint (approx. 200 words) Dear Sir! I am writing to you to complain about the fund-raising film screening you arranged last Saturday. There are several reasons why I am disappointed with it. Firstly, the film started later than it was announced, and it lasted over three hours. As a result, I and my cousin missed our train home. Secondly, the break was not long enough to buy ice-cream owning to the long queue and only one seller. Also, I found that 9 pounds were a too high price for the seats that were too small and low to keep a comfortable position for such long sitting still. However, the most important problem is that the film is totally inappropriate for a young audience! In fact, it is a far cry from a 'family comedy' as you billed it! The plot is too complex for young ones and the jokes are adult for them, as well. But the more important point is that the movie contains many scary scenes! My seven-year-old cousin was extremely frightened by some of them, and so were many children in the hall! Also, the child has had nightmares since she watched the film. I hope that, in future, you choose movies to show more carefully to prevent these kinds of situations. Otherwise, I will not attend your fund-raising events anymore. Yours faithfully Anna Gorlova

Trying to practice the idiomes Hi there! I'm studying some new idioms. To learn them better I've composed a sentence with each of thexe expressions. Please, have a look at them and correct me if I used them in the wrong context. Thank you! 1. Our car had broken down on the way to the airport, but it was really a blessing in disguise. Scrolling the news while waiting for a car-service tow truck we found out that the plane crashed in the air. 2. They promised the moon to the people who bought the company's stock! But the firm went belly up soon. (by the way, "to go belly up" - is it a slang, or just informal?) 3. - Have you known that Mary's got married? -I couldn't care less. After what she did she's not my friend anymore. 4. All the tickets were sold out in an hour. Everyone and his brother wanted to see the performance. 5. He always has such a foxy expression on his face, that when I speak to him I can't help feeling he's pulling my leg! 6. - Did you know that our famous morality activist Kate was blamed for drug dealing? - No way, no way! 7. -How are you? - I'm under the weather after my holiday marathone to bars.
