In the last fifty years,a lot of people have left Europe and have gone to live in Australia.One of them was a Hungary man.He lived in Australia for a long time,and he had a lot of good friends there.He always said to them,“Australia is beautiful, but Hungary is
beautiful,too.”
Then one year later he said,“I'm going back to Hungary now to visit my old home.”All of his friends said to him,“We want to go with you because Hungary is beautiful,and we want to visit it.”
The Hungarian Australian took all his friends from Sydney to Rome in a big plane,and then they went from Rome to Budapest in a train,as they wanted to see the mountains,the
villages and the towns.
They stayed in Budapest for four days,and they liked it very much.They said to the
kangaroos,“Come here,old friends! Come and see your Australian brothers!”But they did not move.
But when the Hungarian Australian spoke to them in Hungarian,“Come here!”,the kangaroos ran to him.
The other Australians laughed and said,“Look at that.They are Australian,but they only know Hungarian!”

Last Thursday,I traveled on the 8:00 a.m.train from Glasgow to London
King’s Cross and I was quite angry with the service of your company.
The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow.
A man at the station said sorry to us,but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay(误点).We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes.As a result,I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.
What’s more,the service on the train was also very poor.The trip took more than five hours.Unluckily,we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train.Worst of all,something was wrong with the air conditioning(空调系统) and it got hotter and hotter in the train.Before we reached King’s Cross,the temperature was over 40℃.
Because of your poor service,I feel you should pay me compensation(赔偿).
I am looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours faithfully,
David Robertson
