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

When an earthquake hit a small town,many houses fell down. After the earthquake,all the newspapers reported many stories about some of the families who were in trouble.
One Sunday,when I was reading a newspaper,a special picture touched(触动)me. It gave the clothing sizes of each family member. I thought that this would be a good chance to teach my children to help those who were less lucky than themselves. I said to my seven-year-old twins,Brad and Brett,and three-year-old Meghan. "We have so much,and these poor people now have nothing. We'll share what we have with them.”
I filled a box with foods and clothes. While I was doing this,I encouraged the boys to choose their toys and donate some of their less favourite things. Meghan watched quietly as the boys took out their old toys and games and put them together. Then she walked away. A few minutes
later she came back with Lucy,her much-loved doll. She put the doll on top of the other toys. "Oh,dear,”I said.“You don't have to give Lucy.You love her so much.,Meghan said,“Lucy makes me happy,Mommy. Maybe she'll make another little girl happy,too.”
I looked at Meghan for a long moment. She taught me a lesson. It's easy to give something that we don't want any more,but harder to give what we cherish(珍爱),isn't?
