First, you say that there are only native teachers but my class has 2 Vietnamese teachers and only one native teacher You also say that each class has no more than 20 students, but there are over 30 students in my class This isn’t ideal for a language class at all.

In the advertisement, we know that we can have books and cassette tapes free

of charge, but in reality, we have to pay for them.

In addition, to make the matter worse, the classroom is not air- conditioned This

is not quite acceptable.

Finally, what I don’t like most about your centre is the time The class time is not the same as what the advertisement says// it’s mentioned in the advertisement Classes not only start late but also finish early.
