Exercise4. (做短文改错,背经典范文)
Dear Sir,
I’m writing to express my dissatisfaction about the mobile phone of Dephone-S250 I bought in 20th Apr. 2015 at Tee mall. Ten days before that, it didn’t ring or sent text messages. Then I took them to the seller, but was told that the model had been sold out and I had to wait at least three month for a new one. Later I went to the repairman. He said since it was a new model in China, it was impossibly to fix it without the right spare parts. I was so desperate on hear that. What can I wait that long? Therefore, I sincerely hope you can send to me a new one of same model. I would greatly appreciate it if you could take measures to solve the problem as soon as possible.
Sincerely yours,
Li Hua
