Dear Sir/Madam, I'm writing to express my dissatisfaction with the service you offered to my friends and myself during our recent flight on the Eagle Airlines Flight 6048 from Gatwick to Rio de Janeiro on the 26th March at 10.35 pm. Firstly, when we got on the plane, the seats were so cramped that it was impossible to sit on them (although we were promised to travel in style and comfort) and the air stewards didn't even greet us. They sat in the corner and yawned. In addition to previous none of us didn't dare to use the toilets toilets were filthy. We were told that during the flight it's possible to read free newspaper and enjoy feature film. At first there were no newspaper and secondly we could see only children's cartoon. Even though there were no children on the flight. Regrettably we were not happy with the ,,full meal with wine". We were offered only cold snacks. What's more, the air stewards were rude and unhelpful
ASYNDETON is used mostly to describe an energetic (objectic?) activities us to show exession (succession) of minute immediately following each of the actions. Opening the story of chapter, A helps to give a laconic ... and at the same time detailed information into the action proper. NT: The motion of the camp at night was everywhere. People sang. People cried. People fought. People loved. People hated. Some were sad. Others gay. Others with friends. Others lonely. NT: He yawned, put on his shirt, slammed the door, patted the dog, opened the mailbox, yawned, went back, wound the clock, yawned.

The flight! The exposure! The police!"). 4. Asyndeton deliberate omission of conjunctions, which disregard norms of literary language. Asyndeton is used mostly to render energetic organized activity; or to show the succession of minute immediately following each other actions (e.g. "People sang. People cried. People fought. People laughed. People hated. Others were sad. Others gay. Others with friends. Others lonely."; "He yawned, went out to look at the thermometer, slammed the door, patted her head, unbuttoned his shirt, yawned, waned the clock, went to look at the furnace, yawned."). The sentences become more rhythmical. 5. Apokoinu constructions a blend of two clauses into one at the expense of omitting the connecting word (normally "who" or "that"). It is ungrammatical, it is characteristic of
Semantic properties: the circumstances of the situation (adjuncts and subjunct); comments on the form or content of the clause (disjunct); provides a link between clauses (conjunct). 8.4 Characteristics of clause elements Morphology/Form: Clause elements combine to form clauses. The number of patterns is small. According to David Crystal there are only seven basic types. o S + V: I / yawned o S + V + O: Fred / opened / the door o S + V + C: The dinner / is / ready o S + V + A: Dick Whittington / went / to London o S + V + O + O: Romeo / gave / Juliet / a kiss o S + V + O + C: Henry / got / his feet / very wet o S + V + O + A: Sam / put / the bottles / in the cellar 8.5 Semantic/thematic roles of clause elements Verbs play an important role in the interaction between meaning and syntax because they are

"That's nice. We have that one thing in common, at least." He sounded satisfied. "Your human instincts..." I began. He waited. "Well, do you find me attractive, in that way, at all?" He laughed and lightly rumpled my nearly dry hair. "I may not be a human, but I am a man," he assured me. I yawned involuntarily. "I've answered your questions, now you should sleep," he insisted. "I'm not sure if I can." "Do you want me to leave?" "No!" I said too loudly. He laughed, and then began to hum that same, unfamiliar lullaby; the voice of an archangel, soft in my ear. More tired than I realized, exhausted from the long day of mental and emotional stress like I'd never felt before, I drifted to sleep in his cold arms. 15. THE CULLENS The muted light of yet another cloudy day eventually woke me
At length, quite exhausted by the attempt to be amused with her own book, which she had only chosen because it was the second volume of his, she gave a great yawn and said, "How pleasant it is to spend an evening in this way! I declare after all there is no enjoyment like reading! How much sooner one tires of anything than of a book! When I have a house of my own, I shall be miserable if I have not an excellent library." No one made any reply. She then yawned again, threw aside her book, and cast her eyes round the room in quest for some amusement; when hearing her brother mentioning a ball to Miss Bennet, she turned suddenly towards him and said: "By the bye, Charles, are you really serious in meditating a dance at Netherfield? I would advise you, before you determine on it, to consult the wishes of the present party; I am much mistaken if there are not some among us to whom a ball would be rather a punishment than a pleasure."
