Once a country woman went to a big city on business.As it was her first time to be in a big city, she was very happy, she found that everything in the city was different from the things in the country.She saw a tall and beautiful building in the center of the city and went into it.On the first floor, she saw an old woman standing in front of a big door, and the door was always closed.After a while, the door opened.The old woman went inside, then the door closed behind her.A few minutes later, the door opened again, and a beautiful young woman came out of it.The country woman was very pleased and surprised.She thought, “This must be the door to a magic(魔术的)box.If I get into it, I’ll also become younger and more beautiful, too.”
So as soon as the door opened again, she quickly got into the box.To her surprise, she saw many buttons with red yellow or green lights inside on the wall, she felt worried, for she was not sure which button she should push if she wanted to go into the magic box.

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
