Written production
 
Hi fiends,
I want to have an idea about  how to elaborate a written expression;  the instructions given to the students.
Here is an example, need your comments.

Last weekend you spent the night in a very expensive hotel .Its name is �..........�. You are not satisfied because you had an unpleasant  stay there. . Write a letter to the manager in which you state your problem:

-   Small room with no view.

- The bad service.

-   Suggest solutions.

       You can use these notes dirty bath -TV did not work� cold water only

What level students do you have in mind?
If it �s elementary/pre-intermediate, I �d say provide them with an example letter of complaint from which they could fish out phrases like "I am writing to complain about..." etc. It"ll give them an idea about the structure as well.
Some wss on that here

Many course books include a complaint letter so maybe you could get some ideas from that.
 
These links might also help:

Thank you very much Sophia and Jayho.
  It �s pre-intermediate. I didn �t mention the word (complain/ a letter of complaint) on purpose. They �ll find it themselves. What I want the instructions you deal with your students. Many thanks
