"華爾街美語無預警停業"

據報華爾街美語在八月七日停止營業。台北市政府教育局前往視察後發現，該補習班各中心大門深鎖，沒有任何營業的跡象。根據該機構官網，華爾街美語台灣分公司負責人，因為財務限制，必須關閉在台的5個分校。雖然教育局仍未得知該補習班確切的學員人數，教育局強調，台北補教協會將提供這些學生免費的補償課程。希望取得退費的學生，行政院消費者保護協會表示會全力為他們爭取權益。

對話範例：

(學校倒閉)麗塔和約翰是語言學校的同學，他們剛剛得知他們的學校已經停業了，來聽聽他們的對話吧。

麗塔：你今天會去上課嗎？

約翰：你沒聽說嗎？我們的學校在台灣已經停止營業了！

麗塔：你是說真的嗎？我上禮拜才剛剛付清20週的課程耶！

約翰：我也是！完全沒料到會發生這種事！

麗塔：那我們現在該怎麼辦？能把錢拿回來嗎？

約翰：我們可以去找行政院消費者保護協會，他們大概可以幫我們取得退費。

麗塔：萬一學校沒有錢可以還我們怎麼辦？

約翰：我們還是可以去上台北市補教協會提供的免費補償課程！

(Education)Wall Street Institute Closes Down Without Warning

Wall Street Institute was reported to have closed its business on Aug 7. After examining the situation, the Department of Education of Taipei City Government found that the doors of the centers had been locked and there was no sign of operation. According to the institutes official website, the franchise owner of Wall Street Institute Taiwan had to shut down all five of its learning centers in Taiwan due to financial constraints. Although the Department of Education has not yet acquired information on the number of current students at the institute, it has stressed that the Taipei Supplementary Education Enterprise Association will provide free compensatory courses to those students. As for those that wish for a refund, the Consumer Protection Committee, Executive Yuan will also help them fight for their rights.

Dialogue Example:

(School Closing Down)Rita and John are classmates at a language school. They have just found out their school has closed down. Lets listen to their conversation.

Rita: Are you going to class today?

John: Havent you heard? The school has ended its operation in Taiwan!

Rita: Are you serious? I only just paid for another 20-week course last week!

John: Yeah, me too! I did not see this coming at all!

Rita: So what do we do? Can we get our money back?

John: We can go to the Consumer Protection Committee, Executive Yuan. They can probably help us get a refund.

Rita: And if the school doesnt have any money to pay us back?

John: Well, we can still take the free compensatory courses offered by the Taipei Supplementary Education Enterprise Association!
