Today I have my Grammar class in the morning, and we were checking the answer of our homework. at the end, the teacher asked to us to look for the new topic in page 300. When all of us looked for the page, we found out the book didn't have that page. What page? 200 or 300? It was page 300, but the teacher and one of our classmates had it but noone else. How can it be? Well, the book the teacher chose has two presentations: The first one is a full content book, and the second is a two-parts book. The teacher asked the bookstore to sell the book with the full content; however, they sold us the Volume A of the two-parts presentation. Now, what can we solve this? It is not our fault, so an fair solution should be return our books and pay for the extra money it can cost. Another possible solution could be get the Volume B for a special price, in order to get a close price to the full book. The price of the full book is around fifty dollars, but each volume cost around of thirty-five dollars. Do the math, who's winning? Who's loosing? Who's fault is it from? Now we have to pay for anyone's mistake. The teacher was really mad with this situation!
The good thing is that we look for the book online, and we found new and used Volume B books for a cheaper price. The new book has a price of twenty seven dollars with a cash back of thirteen fifty dollars. This makes the final price cheaper: thirteen fifty dollars!!!! Besides this, the used book has a cost of twenty one dollars with the same amount in cash back, getting down the final cost to seven dollars. This is a good deal. The final decision we got was to buy the book in that moment, in order to get it for next week and work with it in class and do our next homework.
