U9

 

U9  New TOEIC

     I would not suggest (: recommend) booking (: making a reservation) with Jet Max Airlines (=> Airway), as (: on account that/because) I was extremely (=> considerably/comparatively) disappointed with their service.  In late January, I was booked (: reserved) on a flight from Taoyuan to Tokyo, when I was informed that the flight had been delayed (: put off/postponed/procrastinated).  The gate agent said it was doubtful (=> uncertain/suspicious/skeptical/dubious) that we would board within three hours since (: now that/seeing that < because) the plane was broken.  I had an important meeting (: conference/convention) with a valuable (: precious/important) client to attend (: go to)!  Also (: Besides/On top of that/In addition/Additionally/Plus), they did not allow us to board the next flight because it was full (: occupied/fully booked). 

     In the end (: event), I had to pay for a flight with a different airline.  I was late to my meeting and was left feeling embarrassed in front of my client I complained to Jet Max Airlines about the problems (: issues/topics) they caused (: gave rise to/led to/brought about/resulted in).  However (: Yet/Still), they have not yet provided (: given/supplied/offered) a refund even though I asked for my money back.  I think the way (: how) they handled (: tackled/dealt with) the situation was terrible (: very bad). Actually, they didn’t know how to deal with it.  I will never fly with them again.
