I have eaten in your restaurant many times and have always been happy with the food and service.This makes what happened last Saturday even more disappointing.It was my son’s birthday so we booked a no-smoking table at your restaurant for 7∶30 p. m.We arrived on time but were told that our table was not yet ready.At 8∶00 p. m., we were given a table in the smoking section.I asked to move but I was told that there were no other tables.A lot of people were smoking so it was uncomfortable and unhealthy.
Our first waitress, Janet, was very polite and helpful.She gave us free drinks for waiting so long.Our food also came quickly and looked fresh and tasty.When my wife had eaten most of her meal, she found a dead cockroach(蟑螂)in her vegetables.She was shocked and wanted to leave.At first, the waitress told us it was a piece of garlic.When we told her that garlic does not have legs, she apologized and took the food away.
We asked for the bill, expecting not to pay for my wife’s meal.Nobody came.After 15 minutes, I asked to see the manager.The head waiter told us that you were on holiday.I complained again about the horrible cockroach.He told me Janet had finished work.He didn’t believe my story and gave me a bill for three meals.I argued with him but was force to pay.
The waitress, Janet, was always friendly, but I would like an apology from your impolite head waiter and a full refund(退款)for our meal.It cost $68.Until then, I will not be eating at your restaurant or recommending it to anyone.You can contact me at 742-3254 or through e-mail if you want more information.
Thank you for your attention.
Yours sincerely,
Raymond Yuen

If you’re training for a marathon, a proper plan for water intake (摄入) is important.Of course, there’s the risk of dehydration (脱水).But athletes now know they can also get into trouble by drinking to much.To much water intake can lower levels of sodium (钠) in the blood.The death of a 28-year-old woman following the Boston Marathon caught the attention of many runners and led to new research.
Experts advise long distance runners to replace the liquids they sweat out.Their goal is to try to keep someone from not getting dehydrated by more than 2 percent of their body weight.
One technique for deciding how much water you need is to get the exact numbers.Runners have to weight themselves before and after a run to determine how much water they’ve lost.If their weight drops by more than 2 percent, they have not drunk enough water.
Hyponatremia occurs when runners drink so much water that blood salt levels drop off.A study published last year tested 488 runners who completed the Boston Marathon and found 13 percent of them had dangerously low blood salt levels.The first sign that runners may notice is slightly swelling in the hands.They can’t get their rings off, and then they might feel sick.They may not remember where they are.In fact, most runners get enough salt to get back to normal levels by eating just one meal after a run.Contrary to the old advice that runners should drink as much as they can to prevent dehydration, the new research has shown that the body is a remarkable machine that actually tells you via thirst when you need water.
