19강 관련 문의가 있어서 여쭤봅니다
Dear Mr. Adam,
My wife and I just returned home from our first trip with Prestige cruises. For the most part, we had a lovely time exploring the Caribbean. The whale watching trip was a particular highlight. In addition, the accommodations were luxurious and all the foold served in the restuarnat was exceptional.
However, I would like to draw your attention to one unpleasant conversation (that) we had. We were interested in renting some bikes to explore a nearby island. When we approached Mr. Kingsley to enquire about this, we were told it was too late. When we asked why, he very rudely told us that we should have read the information pack properly.
I felt that the employee’s attitude was completely unacceptable. This is not the high-class service we were promised before the trip. We would very much like to receive an apology letter from Mr. Kingsley. If this is received by the end of next week, we will consider contacting you again for our next trip.
Your faithfully,
David Smith

여기서 Prestige cruises 라고 복수형을 쓰는 이유가 궁금합니다. 회사명이면 cruise가 아닌가요?
the accommodations were luxurious 에서 accommodations가 숙소이면 왜 복수가 되는건지 궁금합니다. 전체시설을 뜻하는건가요
we were told it was too late. 에서 We heard를 were told 대신에 써도 될까요
I felt that the employee’s attitude was completely unacceptable. 이 문장을 I can not completely accept the staff's attitude.라고 써도 괜찮을까요
If this is received by the end of next week, 여기서 by대신에 until을 써도 될까요
감사합니다!!!

안녕하세요, 회원님.
본 교재를 제작한 시원스쿨어학연구소입니다.
순서대로 답변드립니다.
세계적으로 많은 선박 회사들 이름이 보통 복수형입니다. (예: Oceania Cruises)
이유는 다양한 크루즈 여행을 제공하기에 그렇습니다.
크루즈 배에는 객실이 하나만 있는 것이 아니라 여러 개이니 자연스럽게 복수를 사용하였습니다.
be told 사용도 가능합니다.
의미가 조금 달라지지만 사용 가능합니다.
by가 정확합니다.
by와 until의 차이점은, by는 한 번에 끝나는 내용(receive는 한 번에 받고 끝남),
until은 지속되는 내용(예: stay는 계속해서 행위가 지속됨)에 자연스럽습니다.
도움이 되셨기를 바라며, 목표하신 점수 꼭 달성하시기를 응원합니다!
감사합니다.
