Expressing Dissatisfaction

Expressing a satisfaction means you express something that you think it didn‟t work
properly as you want or something that can‟t satisfy your soul.
Look at the following dialogue between Erzan and Ghita:

Erzan : Ghita, I thought you were on vacation.
Ghita : Well, I got back early.
Erzan : Why?
Ghita : Well, I didn‟t really enjoy being there.
Erzan : What happened?
Ghita : Well, the beach was very dirty, and when I got there it was raining
heavily. What made it worse was the hotel where I stayed had a bad
service.
Erzan : You seem to be unhappy with your vacation.
Ghita : Yes, I‟m quite displeased about it.
As you can see, Ghita expresses her dissatisfaction when she was on vacation. You can
use those expressions above to express your dissatisfaction.
