2015年GCT英语会话训练：提出抱怨
遇到不满意的事情和对待需要投诉时，礼貌地说比较奏效。一般先要说Excuse me，sorry，再提出你的投诉，这样显得很有教养和礼貌，你的问题才会得到更圆满的解决。
比如，在商店里，收款员找错了钱，你可以说：
Excuse me, I think you′ve given me the wrong change
或者 Sorry, I think this change is wrong. I gave you $20, not $10.

在酒店里
房间的调温器坏了：
Excuse me, but there′s a problem with the heating in my room.
Sorry to bother you, but I think there′s something wrong with the
air-conditioning.
失窃了：
I′m afraid I have to make a complaint. Some money has gone missing from my
hotel room.
房间没有整理：
I′m afraid there′s a slight problem with my room – the bed hasn′t been
made.
当人们发现自己错了而道歉，一般都会说sorry，然后再提出把事情做好的解决办法。
比如对应上面对调温器的投诉：Excuse me, but there′s a problem with the heating. 或者
I′m sorry – I′ll get someone to check it for you. 或者 Sorry to hear that –
I′ll send someone up.
