1. TASK 2: Tell me about the day and time you can come and the kind of food you enjoy cooking and eating?

• Because I'm extremely busy during the week, I can only participate in our club's activities on weekends. I love spring rolls and would like to share the recipe with the members of our club.

2. TASK 3:

• A: Hi! I hear you've just started taking cooking classes. I've been a member for about 2 years because my children want me to get better at cooking. How about you? Why did you join?
  • I was drawn to the club after seeing its details in a local publication. In addition, I want to improve my cooking skills so that I can create the best dishes for my family.
• B: I often come here once or twice a week. How often you'll come here?
  • Thank you for inquiring <~asking/ requesting>. After checking my calendar, I believe I will be able to visit at least three times per week, primarily <~mainly> on weekends. Cooking is a special hobby of mine, so I'd like to spend some time honing <~sharpening> (mài giũa) my skills.
• C: What do you think about the price of the cooking classes?
  • This pricing seems acceptable to me because it includes the membership fee as well as the cost of cooking equipment and ingredients. Furthermore, the management stated that these payments are also used to organize activities for members.

3. TASK 4:

Dear members,

I am writing to inform you that next week's cooking class will be canceled because your teacher is on holiday. Extra classes may be available when the teacher returns. I am sorry if this creates any difficulties for you. Unfortunately, we will not be able to offer you a refund at this stage.

The manager.

• Question 1: Write an email to your friend, who is also a member of the club.

  Hi Lyn,

  How's it going? Have you got the news that our cooking club decided to cancel the cooking class next week just because the teacher is on vacation?

  What a nightmare! <~How awful!> Not to mention the fact that they are refusing to refund our money. I believe we can send an email to the manager requesting that another teacher be invited to teach next week's lesson.

  What do you think?

  Drop me a line.

  Love,

• Question 2: Tell the manager how you feel, what suggestions you will make, and why.

  • Dear Manager,

    My name is Camellia, and I'm currently a senior member of the cooking club. I am writing this email to express my great dissatisfaction regarding the cancellation of classes next week.

    Due to the teacher's absence, all cooking instruction lessons scheduled for next week have been canceled, according to the revised notification. I believe the administration should review this issue and find a replacement teacher, as this is due to personal circumstances, and not everyone can schedule a time to attend make-up courses.

    Apart from that, we are all in severe financial circumstances as a result of the COVID-19 outbreak. I feel the decision that members would not receive a refund for canceled classes is completely irrelevant. As a result, it would be more reasonable if management could refund half of the membership price to the members.

    I hope that my suggestions are taken into consideration.

    I look forward to hearing from you.

    Yours faithfully,

    Lyn
