1. When a consumer finds out that an item she or he bought is faulty _____
or in some other way does not live up to the manufacturer’s claim for it, the first step is to present the warranty, or any other records which might
help, at the store of purchase. On most cases, this action will produce
results. However, if it does not, there are various means the consumer may
use to gain satisfaction.
A simple and common method used by many consumers is to complain directly to the store manager. In general, the higher up the consumers take his or her complaint, the faster he or she can expect ^to be settled. In such a case, it is usually settled in the consumer’s favor, on condition that he or she has a just claim.
Consumers should complain by person whenever possible, but if they cannot get to the place of purchase, this is acceptable to phone or write the complaint in a letter.
Complaining is usually most effective when it is done politely but firmly, and especially when the consumer can prove what is wrong with the item of question. If this cannot be done, the consumer will succeed best by presenting specific informations as to what is wrong, rather than by making general statements. For example, “The left speaker does not work at all and the sound coming out of the right one is unclear” is worse than “This stereo does not work”.
The store manager may advise the consumer to write to the manufacturer. If so, the consumer should do it, stating the complaint as politely and as firmly as possible. But if a polite complaint does not achieve the desirable result, the consumer can go a step further. She or he can threaten to take the seller to court or report the seller to a private or public organization responsible for protecting consumer’s right.
2. Newspapers in Great Britain vary greatly from their ways of carrying the news. There are serious papers for those who want to know about important happenings everywhere, both at home and abroad, and foreign news. There are popular newspapers for those who prefer entertainment with information. The London newspaper that is best known outside Great Britain is probably The Times. It began in 1785, and had a high reputation for reliable news and serious opinions on the news. It calls itself an independent paper, it means that it does not give its support to a particular political party. Its leading articles give the opinions of the editors, not that of the owners of the paper. Letters to the editor are printed in parts of the newspaper. These parts of The Times are always interested. Most of the letters are on serious subjects, but from time to time there will be long letters on the subject which are not at all serious, perhaps on a new fashion of dress, or the bad manners of the young people compared to the manners of thirty years ago.
In addition to the London daily newspapers, there are other papers. The two London evening papers, the Evening News and the Evening Standard, ＾sold not only at the ordinary news-agents shops, but always stay by their piles of papers; however, the newspaper sellers sometimes go away and leave his papers. Passersby help themselves to the paper they want, and leave the price of the paper in a box. There are dishonest people in London, and no one thinks it is worth robbing a newspaper-seller of a few coins.
