HOMEWORK (yao yu)
We hate you -----------by Ken Levine
In my opinion,I don't want to argue with that,i want they to give me a good
reason. We need to know what happened about the airline because we pay
the money and we are customers. Also , i do not like the airlines deley
because i do not how long i need to stay. Nobody tell you the truely to star.
Virgin: the world’s best passenger complaint letter.
The complaint letter is talking about the food that serves on the air plane. In this letter, the author wrote the letter to Mr Branson. , I thought they are yummy , they should look very beautiful and attractive, and that should make me feel happy. But when I saw those foods, I do not want to see it again. From the picture, we know the food are not fresh .

Ken Levine was named one of the BEST 25 BLOGS OF 2011 by TIME Magazine.He is an Emmy winning writer/director/producer/major league baseball announcer. In a career life,he has worked on MASH, CHEERS, FRASIER, THE SIMPSONS, WINGS, EVERYBODY LOVES RAYMOND, BECKER, DHARMA & GREG, and has co-created his own series including ALMOST PERFECT starring Nancy Travis over 30 years.This letter is trying to complaint about the airlines companys. He lists all the bads things they have done to the customer and the letter and words he used fully expressed how he got piss off by the company. One things he mention at last was STOP APOLOGIZING! I really agree with that point because apologize wont help with the problem. I would rather spend those time to solve the problem!
Virgin: the world's best passenger complaint letter? By someone
The first thing that capture me when I read this letter is the word desert! He keeps saying desert in the letter and I just dont understand or maybe he want to decribe the dessert tasts like desert.I really enjoy read this letter because i love to eat and I always has a dream to try all the meals on the plane.I have eaten a lot of different meals and sometimes they really taste so badly. Also the writer shows how good with his sense of humor. He always exaggerate and describe the food so detail and that is really funny for me to read. I was so hungry while I was doing this but after I read the letter and saw the picture..All my appetite was gone.

response to the two letters
The first letter - Virgin: the world's best passenger complaint letter? Which a passenger who love the Virgin Brand although the severses start to become worse and worse. The flights provide the passengers diet which are rediculous. From the letter and the image, we can see that the food in the flight is not ordered, not fresh, I think we would throw them away if we are at home. At this point, we only ask for something that can be eatten. The quatity of the TV images are so bad that the passengers are hardly see. What if I have nothing to do on the airline but watching the TV show, my eyes will be so tired by doing it. If you provide a servese like this, who in the world would take the airline agian?
In the second letter -We Hate You, as the writer mention about the delay, at my point , I don't want to argue with that, I will give you time to check the safety of airline, and you guys should better give me a good reason. But if the delay is because of pilot being lazy and come late, how would we not being angery at you. The airline can't not just provide us a way to go from one place to another, but also a place we can receive serve and feel we are all respected from others.

Virgin: the world’s best passenger complaint letter
The complaint letter is talking about the food that serves on the air plane. In this letter, the author wrote the letter to Mr Branson. He tries to tell him that the food that serves on the plane is not the food that people can eat. He desicble the food as bad and ugly as he can, the custard is not look like the custard. When he saw those food, he felt up set and depressed, because he thought the food serves on the air plane should be the great food, they should be the one that people like to eat, no the one that when people see them and feel depress. Connecting to my life, I also had this experience before. When I took the air plane from China to the United States, before I saw the food that serves on the plane, I thought they are yummy and great, they should look very beautiful and attractive, and that should make me feel happy. But when I saw those foods, for get it; it is not the one I thought before. They are totally different, and they teast badly. I hope I will not try to eat these types of foods again.
Open letter to airline: we hate you by Ken Levine
This letter that is wrotting by Ken Levine is talking about the air planes are always delayed. Those people who are waiting for the plane are stay inside the airline building. They usually don’t know where to go and where to ask people for help. If you don’t go to find out what happen, you just stay right there for a very long while. That is not a good serves for the airline. That may makes people feel helplessness and angry. That also makes the airline company lose their customers. I also don’t like the air planes to be delay, because I will stay right there for a very long period of time, that will makes me feel extremely unhappy. The planes delays that will make those people who are waiting for the plane go crazy inside the airport.

Open letter to airline: we hate you by Ken Levine
From the title, we can clearly find out the point of view from the author. Yeah, he hate afterwards explainations by airline company which seems useless and delayed flight arise inconvenience. What's more effective methods, in author's opinion, are to inform passengers timely with truth rather than fabricated reasons and appease them with additional services rather than apology. From my point of view, I do hate long time waiting, however, it seems regularly incident for that flight is delayed. How to solve the broblem is more important since no one want to make trouble. For passengers, we can provide suggestions so that airline company can better make up the dificiency. And for airline company, I think they should try best to satisfy the customers. Only by common efforts can we well arrange the incident and make progress.
Virgin: the world's best passenger complaint letter
Different from the former letter, this one complaint in a polite way. Without dirty words, the author choose courteous expression to make voice. Combined with pictures and facetious words, it is a more acceptible way. That's funny and wise. From imagine one to seven, all show dissatisfations. Even through, the author display his gentleness. No matter how disgusting the food is and how badly feel the author experience, he wisely avoid rudeness. I think that's why he received sincerely apologize from Sir Richard Branson.
Actuallly, I think that's a kind of art to communicate with other people. How to make sense and acceptible is just the way of expressing. Not only to say, but also persuade which is more effective to figure out. Ultimately, our purpose is to solve the problem based on both benefits.

Open Letter to airlines:We hate you by Ken Levine.
Kenneth Levine(full name),borned on February
14,1950,Santa Monica,CA.He is the director,writer,producer of many mainstream works and plays.He is the host of the post-game Dodger Talk on KABC radio.Ken wrote the letter for the pure purpose of complaining and of showing how unsatisfactory he was towards the airlines.The problems of the letter were that he was marveled at the poor attitude of receptionists,meanwhile experienced several delays of planes,uncomfortable seating conditions and insufficient amenities and improper snacks.Even he did receive apoloy from the airline,he thought the apology was disingenuous and patronizing.I do not feel any sympathy for him out of many reasons.First,his certain usages of words were rather uncouth and offensive.Such as'fucking'.This's not courteous in the formal letter.Second,crews and attendants are human beings also,when you're suffering delays,they were suffering as well.Delays are not what they expect or what they can control.Third,since it was an domestic flight route,thus its ticket fee was somewhere cheap around $50-80,you did not deserve the privileged kind of blankets,pillows and snakcs with luxury.It shall be harder to alter the situation than to adopt.It can be hard to change.All the author did were in vain.
Virgin Atlantic letter by Oliver Beale.
Oliver Beale, a high-flying advertising executive, has been revealed as the author of a complaint letter to Virgin Atlantic which has been hailed as the greatest of its kind.
Along with the letter,author attached 7 photographs of the food he received during the fligh .He used satire and humor trying the complain the nasty food. He asked Sir Richard to remember the excitement of opening Christmas presents as a child.He then wrote: "It's your hamster Richard. It's your hamster in the box and it's not breathing. That's how I felt when I peeled back the foil." I like the wise,humorous way author used to effectively and effectually demonstrate and persuade the readers
He did not even use any offending words.Consequently with politeness and efficiency,he received phone call from Sir Richard later for apologizing.I think the way the author used to persuade is quite proper.It might be easy to alter the current in-flight meal of Virgin Airline since Sir Richard had called the author inviting him to select the food and wines for future Virgin flights.
