One day a Frenchman went to New York.He didn't know a word of English.When he arrived in New York, he took a bus to a hotel.
It was Sunday, and the Frenchman decided to go out for a walk.As he walked along the street, he suddenly remembered that he didn't know the name of the street.So he decided to write it down.He looked at the wall near the corner of the street.Then he saw some English words and copied them down in his notebook”.“Now I know the name of the street, ”he said to himself, “It will be easy for me to get back to the hotel.”
He walked for a long time in the city.Then he felt tired and wanted to go back to his hotel.He took the notebook out of his pocket and showed the word to a young woman.The young woman read the words in his notebook and looked at the Frenchman.She didn't know what he wanted.
Then the Frenchman stopped an old man and showed him the words.The old man didn't know what the Frenchman wanted, either.
At last the Frenchman saw a young man.He knew some French.When the Frenchman showed him the words in the notebook and asked where the street was, the young man laughed and laughed, for these were the words in the Frenchman's notebook:ONE WAY STREET(单行道).

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
