4 Ways to Complain in a Restaurant in English Do you know how to complain in a restaurant if something goes wrong? What if your food is cold? What if it's taking a long time for your food to come out of the kitchen? What if the waitress brings you a dish that you did not order? You have to complain! But in order to do that, you need the right words and phrases. In today's article, I will give you four scenarios and a few ways to complain in each situation. Scenario #1: Your food is cold "I'm sorry to bother you, but the food is quite cold."" Scenario #2: You got the wrong order "I'm sorry, but this isn't what I ordered""Hi, is this the ____ that I ordered?"" Scenario #3: The food is taking too long "I am so sorry to bother you, but we have somewhere to be. Scenario #4: You don't like or can't eat your meal "Sorry, but I ordered a mild version of this dish and this is quite spicy.""

Shakespeare our way - elevernas tolkningar - Mia Smith Som jag redan beskrivit har mina elever i år 8 och 9 fått lära känna Shakespeare i allmänhet och Romeo & Julia i synnerhet inom ramen för engelskundervisningen, upplägget har jag beskrivit i följande blogginlägg: och Mycket av upplägget är klassiska uppgifter, men den avslutande utmaningen är den som utmärker projektet, och den där eleverna fått möjlighet att ta ut svängarna lite extra. Många av dem har gjort detta med bravur och jag vill visa upp några exempel på hur de valt att tolka uppgiften. De exempel jag visar upp är inte nödvändigtvis de bästa eller mest unika, men de representerar olika varianter av tolkningar och påvisar en bredd. Eleverna går i år 8 och 9 på Vallhamra skola och har alla givit mig sitt godkännande att publicera deras verk. Uppgiften gick ut på att välja en del av berättelsen om Romeo & Julia och göra en egen tolkning. Chattar i sociala medier Vlog
