Dear Sir or Madam,
     Last Thursday, I traveled in the 8:40 am train from Glasgow to London King's Cross and I was very
unhappy with the service provided by your company.
    The train was forty minutes later leaving Glasgow. Although the guard apologized, we were not given
any reasons for the delay. We then had further delays when the train crew changed. We had to wait another
thirty minutes. As a result, I missed my flight from London Heathrow to Frankfurt and had to wait for
several hours. 
    What's more, the service in the train was also very poor. The trip took over five hours. Unluckily, there
was no dining car in the train and only a bar with soft drinks. The worst of all, the air conditioning broke
down halfway through the trip and it got hotter and hotter in the train. However, there was no apology for
this, and before we reached King's Cross, the temperature was over 40℃. In view of the poor service, I
feel I am entitled to compensation. I am looking forward to hearing from you. 
                                                                                                                               Yours faithfully,
                                                                                                                                David Robertson

　　A good memory is a great help in learning a language．Everybody learns his own language by re-membering what he hears when he is a small child, and some children－like boys and girls who live abroad with their parents－seem to learn two languages almost as easily as one．In school it is not easy to learn a second language because the pupils have so little time for it, and they are busy with other sub-jects, too．

　　A man's mind is rather like a camera, but it takes photos not only of what we see but of what we feel, hear, smell and taste．When we take a real photo with a camera, there is much to do before the photo is finished and ready to show to our friends．In the same way there is much work to be done before we can keep a picture forever in our mind．

　　Memory is the diary that we all carry about with us．

　　When you want to know more about someone, you often ask “What do you do?” This means “What is your job?” It is a common question, and we do not think there is anything strange about it．But it is possible that in the future we will ask a different question．We might ask, “What do you play?”

　　Computers and such things are making jobs more automatic and less demanding(依赖)．Scientists tell us that one day very few people will have to work．Our society will be run by computers．And so we will all have a great deal of free time．And then games will be more important than jobs．

　　Today games and play are a very important part of life．Today people are divided into social classes(社会阶层)because of the type of work they do．Tomorrow they may be divided because of the types of games they play．

　　In the future, we may have “fun specialists,” just as we now have specialists in different types of work．It would be their job to show us how to get the most fun and enjoyment out of our spare time．And our society(社会)may be made up of sub-groups, such as surfers, skydivers, joggers, skiers, etc…Many of these subgroups may depend on technology(科技)to provide(提供)the equipment(设备)for their games．

are students who are having exams.
