WEEK 27: COMPLAINING (Pilar Victoria Martínez)

Imagen
Some other phrasal verbs are: beat down, get up, give away, back into, set about, be away, count down, etc. By searching of the internet, I have found a complaint letter in which many expressions to complain appears: Dear Sir/Madam:  I am writing to express my strong dissatisfaction  at the disgraceful treatment I received at the Walford Branco of Stimpson’s Electronics yesterday afternoon. Firstly, the product I was given  was not the model I had asked for . The new X-401 calculator was demonstrated to me by the sales assistant, and I agreed to buy it. However, on unpacking my purchase, I saw that I had been given the smaller X-201 model instead. Furthermore, this calculator was much cheaper than the model I requested and paid for. It did not have many of the features I needed and was much more basic than the one I was shown to begin with. To make matters worse,   I was deeply offended by the behaviour of the sales a...

WEEK 28: CONNECTING WORDS (Pilar Victoria Martínez)

By browsing the net, I have found this text and underlined the formal expressions in it: T he inequity in the distribution of wealth in Australia is yet another indicator of Australia's lack of egalitarianism . In 1995, 20% of the Australian population owned 72.2% of Australia's wealth with the top 50% owning 92.1% (Raskall, 1998: 287). Such a significant skew in the distribution of wealth indicates that, at least in terms of economics, there is an established class system in Australia. McGregor (1988) argues that Australian society can be categorised into three levels: the Upper, Middle and Working classes. In addition, it has been shown that most Australians continue to remain in the class into which they were born (McGregor, 1988: 156) despite arguments about the ease of social mobility in Australian society (Fitzpatrick, 1994). The issue of class and its inherent inequity , however, is further compounded by factors such as race and gender within and across t...

WEEK 29: INTELLIGENCE (Pilar Victoria Martínez)

I have found this text about the results of an experiment and underlined the examples related to reported results: The following observations were made as a result of experiments conducted by Casey Hospital with respect to four types of E.Coli bacterial strains. The graph illustrates that 5mg./ml. of Chloramphenicol stopped the growth of two strains of E. Coli; EC 1 and EC 3. It also illustrates that the 5 mg/ml of Chloramphenicol had little to no effect on the EC 2 strain of E. Coli and had a minimal effect on EC 4 strain of E. Coli as the colony sizes were near maximum of the standard result. This shows that 5 mg/ml Chloramphenicol is an effective antibiotic against EC 1 and EC 2 strains of E. Coli. In order to improve my English, I have done some rephrasings in order to prepare my final exam of Lengua Inglesa.
