Dear Sir or Madam,
Last Thursday, I traveled on the 8:00 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross and I was quite angry about the service of your station.
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. So I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.
What’s more (更重要的是), the service on the train was quite 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 and it got hotter and hotter in the train. Before we arrived in King’s Cross, the temperature was over 40℃.
Because of your poor service, I think you should pay me compensation (赔偿).
I’m looking forward to hearing from you.
Yours, David Robertson

One day, many years ago, when I was working as a psychologist(心理学家)in England, I brought David into my office. His face was pale and he looked at his own feet.

David lost his father when he was two years old and lived with his mother and grandfather ever since. But when he was 13 ,his grandfather died and his mother was killed in a car accident. His teacher told me that he refused to talk to others form then on.

David didn’t say a word. As he was leaving, I put my hand on his shoulder.“Come back next week if you like.” I said.

He came and I suggested(建议)we play a game of chess. He agreed. After that we played chess every Wednesday afternoon—in complete silence. Usually, he arrived earlier than we agreed. It seemed that he liked to be with me.

Months later, when I was looking at his head, he suddenly looked up at me. “It’s your turn.” He said. After that day, David started started talking. He finally got friends in school and he even joined a bicycle club. Now he started his new life.

Maybe I gave David something. But I learned more from him. I learned that time makes it possible to get over what seems to be painful. David showed me how to help people like him.
