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 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°C. 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 Roberson

     Fire can help people in many ways. But it can also be very harmful. Fire can make water hot and house
warm, give light and cook food. But fire can burn (燃烧) things, too. It can make trees, houses, animals and
other things catch fire (起火). If some people can't run away from fire, it can kill them. This happens in every
country every year.
     Sometimes big fire can burn forests. A month ago, a large forest fire broke out in Yunnan Province. It lasted
nearly half a month. The forest in Heilongjiang Province and the grassland in Inner Mongolia caught fire in May,
2006. After more than ten days' fight, over 30,000 people and soldiers put out (扑灭) the fire at last.
     Nobody knows clearly when people began to make fire, but there are many interesting stories about the first
time a man or a woman started a fire. One story from Australia tells about a man who went to the sun and
brought fire down a long time ago. Today people know how to make a fire with matches (火柴). Children
sometimes like to play with them. But matches can be very dangerous. The match can burn a piece of paper
and then it can burn a house. A small fire can become a big fire, and destroy many things. Fire kills many people
