In the photo, you can see a client who is probably complaining about the meal or service. In this section, you will work with a mind map that consists of a handful of useful tips and expressions in case you must make a complaint, ask for a refund, or any other compensation. You will also analyse explanations for some of the terms.

Na zdjęciu widać klientkę, która prawdopodobnie skarży się na posiłek lub na poziom obsługi. W tej sekcji będziesz pracować z mapą pojęć zawierającą garść wskazówek i wyrażeń, które mogą okazać się przydatne, gdybyś musiał/musiała kiedyś złożyć reklamację, poprosić o zwrot pieniędzy lub inny rodzaj rekompensaty. Przeanalizujesz także objaśnienia do wybranych terminów.
