Communication with a Stranger

Last weekend I sat on the bus talking with excitement and so ready to spend time in New York City with one of my best friends from college. As I took the window seat and wore headphones over ears, I almost didn't ____the elderly man sitting beside me.

Two hours passed and I was still absorbed in my own world. ____the elderly man asked me a question, a simple question ____ the bus's Wi-Fi connection, which turned into a two- hour ____. In fact, it directly ____ my personal life.

We talked a lot about my dreams, my fears and my life. I ____ more with this stranger on the bus than I have with any friend or family member in months. Maybe it had something to do with me just being ____ to let anyone I know close to me. I was ____ that the stranger was not only so deeply interested in getting to know me, but also just as willing to ____ me to my greatest abilities. He listened carefully to every word I said and made some useful ____ at times. Instead of politely ____ his head when I mentioned my major, he told me that my strong liking seemed to be psychology, but not the one I was studying. He said that he knew I would face difficulties if I studied

psychology and that he fully understood my ____ for the failure.

This elderly man made me ____ the plans that I had laid out for my life with just that simple statement. He helped me realize that my neatly ____ plan for the next five years of my life wasn't all that neat, but actually complex and filled with ____. Most of all, he helped me ____ the complex, not stay away from it because of my fear for the unknown. I _____ a lot from talking with the elderly stranger.

A few days later, he emailed me, saying, "I think you're ____ for great things no matter what you decide to do." The email was filled with words of ____. In a few hours a stranger showed me a sense of kindness that made me realize that life is sometimes ____ but it is going to be okay.

Subject: Hi!

Dear Mr. Mallory,

I am writing to tell you my deep disappointment for my experience at Lingua Nova English summer school in the first two weeks of July. I had been thoroughly looking forward to learning English and learning about culture in the UK, but I am afraid that my time at your summer school failed to live up to my expectations.

Your brochure states that the student accommodation is situated "in the heart of Edinburgh". This is misleading as my accommodation was, in fact, situated a good fifty minutes bus ride from the city center in what I can only describe as a less than picturesque part of the suburbs.

In addition, the activity programme did not reflect the fact that we were located in one of Europe's most interesting and historical cities: one evening activity consisted of a walk to a nearby park, another was a trip to a narrow street which was not usually used by cars. Finally, on our one trip into the city center our "guide" readily admitted that she was not from Edinburgh, and had in fact never visited the city before. I had been eagerly expecting a guided tour of Scotland's treasures. In fact, I was left in the city center with no map and told to "check things out" while your employee went shopping in Princes Street.

This was a long awaited trip and cost me over two years' hard work and saving. Although I do have positive memories of my trip (my English teachers were knowledgeable and inspiring), the accommodation and activity programme were wholly unsatisfactory.

I would like to get my money back for the accommodation and would really appreciate a reply within the next two weeks.

Yours sincerely,

Jovan Gagic
