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

When I was 12, I would, on some Saturdays, go to my father’s store to help out. After helping set up the outside clothing display, for the rest of the day, I’d watch to make sure no one stole anything. When I noticed someone looking unusual or strange, I would look the person in the eye, smile and say, “May I help you?” Usually that worked, but sometimes, someone would run off with something. The first time, I ran after the thief but my father shouted, “Martin, stop! There is no need to do that.” It’s true that safety is more important than money.
After 10 years of hard work, he saved up enough money to buy his first car, a cheap one—he wouldn’t buy one until he could afford to pay for it without borrowing money. I learned: buy only what you can afford. Buying necessary food and clothing won’t make us go in debt(债务). The unnecessary things won’t give us happiness, which comes from achievement only.
