I didn't think the passion(激情)was important for my life until that day．
One day I went out with my mum．I was bored．Then, as my mum stopped at a red light, someone on the side of the road caught my eye．It was a man wearing old clothes．He was homeless．That didn't interest me, for I had seen many like him before．
But in some way he was different．This man was not sad to sit there．He had a radio in his hand and was dancing happily to the music．The radio seemed to be the most important thing．
“Mum, why does that man have a radio even thought he's homeless?” I asked．
“He bought it,” she answered．I was still puzzled．
“But if he's homeless, why doesn't he use the money to buy food or clothes? He wasted it on something he doesn't need．”
“Well, Sarah, sometimes food and clothes aren't the most important things．We need happiness, too．”
That man must care enough about music to buy a radio instead of food or clothes．I soon realized that happiness is the key to life．Without it, there's nothing to look forward to．A passion gives a person the happiness they need to keep going．We all need a passion．

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
