Q:
В чем разница между claim и announce ?
A:
Good question! "Claim" has two meanings but I will be assuming you mean "claim" as in "He claimed that she lied" rather than "I claimed my bag from the Lost and Found counter".
In that case, "claim" is normally used when the information shared has not been proven, while "announce" does not directly imply that the information could be false. "Announce" just suggests a sharing of information to typically a group of people and in a formal way.
Let's look at these two sentences:
A) Sally claimed that her bag was stolen.
B) Sally announced that her bag was stolen.
In A, I understand that Sally's bag might be stolen according to her and it may not be true but she wants me or us to believe that.
In B, I understand that Sally's bag might be stolen and there is more confidence in the accuracy of the information shared. It has been shared by her to a group of people.

Other questions about "Claim"
Q:
"We have to make a claim for the delay."
---
I have a question about the phrase "make a claim".
I think it means "complain", but in the book that I found this phrase, it is translated as "ask for compensation".
Does "make a claim" also mean "ask for compensation" or "claim damages" ?
I suspect the book's translation is not very accurate. The book was written by a Japanese author, and I've found several mistakes, so I suspect this is another loose translation.

A:
"To make a claim," is a formal or an official assertion (often used by legal or formal institutes). Though the phrase can be used for formal "complaints," it doesn't always have to be. For example, look at the sentence, "I have to make a claim for my lottery ticket." In this example, it isn't a complaint, but a formal assertion (or will make that assertion) that you are the owner of the lottery ticket.
In general, "make a claim" can mean many things depending on context, but they will all be formal or official assertions.
With your example sentence earlier, "We have to make a claim for the delay," has a very different meaning to "We complained about the delay." I'm not sure which one you meant to say since there was little context. I can see people using the first sentence when traveling by airplanes, flights got delayed, and they want to be reimbursed by their travel insurance. I can also see people using the second sentence with a late train and people vocalizing their frustrations.
I hope this helps.

Q:
the claim that breakfast cereal has a health benefit may be accompanied by the disclaimer "when part of a nutritionally balanced breakfast."
I can't understand "when part of"
I can't understand "when part of"
A:
It means that eating that cereal alone is not a balanced breakfast, so in order for it to be nutritionally balanced you would have to add other food, perhaps fruit.
Q:
I wrote a claim letter to practice write in English. Could you tell me if there are any grammatical errors or any wired words in the sentences below?
I am writing this letter to complain that the goods we received from your company have not been supplied properly. About two weeks ago, we bought ten units of Apple-27 iMac® from your company. However, we found that two of them do not boot correctly.
This time, we invested in increasing units of computers in our office because we newly hired ten employees last week. Some of our employees have to wait until someone finishes using a computer. Moreover, some of them have to use their own laptop if there is no available computer. We think this causes less productivity in our office. We hope that this unfavorable situation should be resolved before entering a busy season for next month.
We keep both the receipt and the warranty after we purchased the computers from your company. We reviewed the warranty and it states that a deficit of items must be replaced a new item or repaired with no charge if it was purchased within twelve months. Therefore, we hope that we will receive other computers as soon as possible.
I would like you to know as soon as possible you can pick the deficit computers up at our office and deliver the new computers. I look forward to hearing from you by return.

Hello!
Your letter sounds good, but you could add a few adjustments.
The sentence "This time, we invested in increasing units of computers in our office because we newly hired ten employees last week" this sentence could be changed to "This time, we invested in increasing units of computers in our office because we recently hired ten new employees last week.". The next sentence, "should", should be replaced with "can". "We keep both the receipts...." should be changed to "We kept both of the receipts and the warranty after we purchased the computers for your company.". The second to last sentence should be changed slightly to "I would like you to know as soon as possible, so you can pick the defective computers up at our office and deliver the new computers." As for the last sentence "by return" isn't needed.
I wish you the best of luck learning English, and I am sorry I cannot reply in Japanese!

Q:
Could you tell me if I can use "claim" instead of "complaint"?
Many business English textbooks commonly available in Japan are describing that you shouldn't use the word "claim" but "complaint"—used in such a case you ask for an apology from a store on finding defects in products you purchased. The reason is that the word "claim (クレーム)" used in such a situation is of an expression used in Japanese English. However, it feels like I sometimes come upon such situations where English speakers use "claim."
Looking forward to hearing from you
