有些东西很奇怪,就是不会忘记。
It’s amazing that I can remember things that are really long ago, even though I didn’t need to use them. For example, I can still recall the telephone number of my first home, the first time I reported to my dad’s school primary section (or rather my second primary school) and the first time I was so terrified of a teacher (not my dad. Hahaha).
Recently, I decided to try my luck to write a complain letter. Having not written a real formal complain letter as far as I could remember except those feedback forms and casual emails (I know I have not-a-very-good short term memory), it took some pains to decide how to pen the email. Oddly enough, 安老师 (my sec 3 & 4 Chinese teacher)’s voice etched my brain.
“第一段要恭维人家,要告诉人家他多好多好,而你和他有什么“密切关系”,这样他才开心,才会很乐意看下去。下一段就可以开始切入正题,但不可以讲人家很不好。最后一段还是要记得说人家多好多好,让他能体会你的苦衷,才会愿意帮你。”
Sometimes it’s these moments that you really appreciate a good teacher who could “drill” her students till they never forget. I guess I cannot complain too much about naggy teachers and parents.. Hahaha..
