写一封投诉信：

有学生这样写：

I bought a pair of shoes in your department store a week ago when I was in your area. But unfortunately, one heel broke off yesterday. I didn't wear it to play football. I wore it to walk. As you are a big shop, you have good fame. If you don't give me back my refund, I'll tell others all about it. They know what you have done, so they will not buy things in you shop.

I want my refund.

虽然，文中的语法错误不是很多，而且在所给中文提示基础上有所展开，但写作文体不对，读起来好像是在指责或者是威胁商家。这就背离了应有的语言环境，自然不能实现投诉的目的了。

3. Directions:((询问信)

Your are preparing for an English test and are in need of some reference books. Write a letter to the sales department of a bookstore to ask for:

1) detailed information about the books you want,

2) methods of payment,
