1.If a number is in the r ange 21 to 99, and the second digit is not zero, we should write the number as two words separated by a hyphen:
56
47

2. Numbers over 100 are generally written in figures. If you say them aloud or want to write them in words rather than figures you put 'and' in front of the number expressed by the last two figures. For example:
Eg.

Note:
The British use 'and' before tens and ones but the Americans usually leave the 'and' out.
Eg. 602 six hundred and two (AmE: six hundred two) 3. Numbers between 1000 and 1,000,000 is usually said or written in words as:
1,704
one thousand, seven hundred

four thousand, three hundred and sixty-five (AmE: four thousand, three hundred sixty-five) 4. Four-figure numbers ending in 00 can also be said or written as a number of hundreds.

A- Read the text carefully.
Going shopping Mrs Smith is going shopping with her son. They are looking for a present for Mr Smith's birthday. Mrs Smith wants to buy him a new camera and Tom wants to buy him a jumper. They drive to the department store on the high street. Mrs Smith uses the escalator to go to the Electrical Department on the third floor and Tom takes the stairs up to the Men's Clothing Department on the first floor. When she gets to the Electrical Department she finds that cameras are sold in the Photography Department on the ground floor. She takes the elevator down and asks the sales assistant there for some help. She doesn't know much about cameras and needs some advice. He recommends an automatic camera by Olympus, but it is too expensive. She asks him if he has anything a little cheaper and he tells her about a special offer on the Pentax range. It still seems expensive so she thanks the assistant and decides to shop around first. Meanwhile, Tom is looking at the jumpers. He only has £10 to spend so he can't afford most of them. He sees his mother and they decide to go to the smaller shops round the corner.

Complaints are never a happy occasion, particularly if you are trying to keep a client or customer happy and you are struggling with the language.

UFCD 0371- Inglês, Vendas
It is important to remember that responding to a complaint always has FOUR parts:
Apologize for the problem – no matter if you created it or not – no matter whether the issue is true or not. What you are apologizing for is the fact that a customer is unhappy. That’s not good for business. Ask for the specifics of the problem – what happened or what went wrong. Say that you will take action [and take it!], and Check back with the customer later to make sure the problem was resolved to their satisfaction.
Review the three parts of responses below: 1. Apologizing: I’m sorry . . . I’m sorry to hear that . . . I apologize . . . I apologize for the problem . . . I apologize for the inconvenience . . . My apologies . . .
2. Ask for Specifics Please tell me exactly what the problem is! Please tell me exactly what happened!
