How to read the years

1.997 = nineteen ninety seven (we read the year as separate chunks)

Going shopping
Mrs Smith is going shopping with her son. They are looking for a present for Mr Smith's birthday. Mrs
Smith wants to buy him a new camera and Tom wants to buy him a jumper.

They drive to the department store on the high street. Mrs Smith uses the escalator to go to the
Electrical Department on the third floor and Tom takes the stairs up to the Men's Clothing
Department on the first floor.

When she gets to the Electrical Department she finds that cameras are sold in the Photography
Department on the ground floor. She takes the elevator down and asks the sales assistant there for
some help. She doesn't know much about cameras and needs some advice. He recommends an
automatic camera by Olympus, but it is too expensive. She asks him if he has anything a little cheaper
and he tells her about a special offer on the Pentax range. It still seems expensive so she thanks the
assistant and decides to shop around first.

It is important to remember that responding to a complaint always has FOUR parts:


Apologize for the problem no matter if you created it or not no matter whether the issue is true or not.
What you are apologizing for is the fact that a customer is unhappy. Thats not good for business.

Ask for the specifics of the problem what happened or what went wrong.

Say that you will take action [and take it!], and

Check back with the customer later to make sure the problem was resolved to their satisfaction.

Review the three parts of responses below:

1. Apologizing:
Im sorry . . . Im sorry to hear that . . .
I apologize . . .
I apologize for the problem . . .
I apologize for the inconvenience . . .
My apologies . . .

2. Ask for Specifics


Please tell me exactly what the problem is!
Please tell me exactly what happened!

3. Take Action
I will send someone to take care of it.
We will send the correct order tomorrow.
Let me check with the shippers and see what happened.
I dont know what happened, but I will get back with you later today
Let me straighten this out and I will get back to you today with the
solution.

4. Check back after the situation has been corrected


Ms. Chen, did everything work out to your satisfaction?
Mr. Wozniak, I wanted to see if the problem has been resolved to your
satisfaction.
Did everything work out okay?
Did you get what you needed/wanted?
