     On March 27, Saturday evening, people all over the world once again turned their lights off for an hour
to help fight against global climate changes and give the world a brighter future.
     For Earth Hour 2010, many best-known buildings went dark from 8:30 to 9: 30 local time, such as the
Eiffel Tower, Big Ben, Sydney's Opera House and Beijing's Forbidden City, etc. Millions of businesses and
homes around the world also turned off their lights.
     Some 4, 000 cities in more than 120 countries volunteered to turn off Saturday to reduce energy
consumption (能量消耗). "We have everyone from Casablanca to the camps of Namibia and Tanzania taking
part," said Greg Bourne, CEO of WWF (World Wildlife Fund) in Australia, which started Earth Hour.
     Earth Hour began in Sydney, Australia, in 2007. In 2008, the event turned into an international one, which
has drawn the participation of hundreds of towns and cities worldwide. Now in its fourth year, more and
more cities from the world took part in Earth Hour as a show of support for action against global warming.
     In a WWF survey after Earth Hour 2009, 80 million U.S. citizens said they had participated, according to
Ann. "Earth Hour has always been an event about families and individuals as well," Ann said, "and it's really
about Americans and people all over the world standing up and saying climate change is real and we need to
do something about it now."
     However, Earth Hour's energy-saving influence is limited. But WWF says that Earth Hour's real value is
symbolic (象征的).

Dear Sir or Madam,

   Last Thursday, I raveled on the 8:40 am train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross and I was very unhappy with the service provided by our company.

   The train was forty minutes late leaving Glasgow , and although the guard apologized , we were not given any reasons for the delay (误点) . We then had further delays when the train crew (乘务组人员)changed at Preston and had to wait another thirty minutes . As a result, I missed my fight from London Health row to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.

   What’s more, the service on the train was also very poor. The trip takes (A) over five hours. Unluckily, there was no restaurant car on the train and only a bar with soft drinks. Worst of all , the air conditioner broke down half – way through the trip and it got hotter and hotter in the train . However , there was no apology for this , and before we reached King’s cross, the temperature was no centigrade .

In view of the poor service , I feel I am entitled to compensation(有权索赔).

(B) I took forward to hearing from you

Yours faithfully.

David Robertson

Dear Sir or Madam,
     Last Thursday, I traveled in the 8:40 am train from Glasgow to London King's Cross and I was very
unhappy with the service provided by your company.
     The train was forty minutes later leaving Glasgow. Although the guard apologized, we were not given
any reasons for the delay. We then had further delays when the train crew changed. We had to wait another
thirty minutes. As a result, I missed my flight from London Heathrow to Frankfurt and had to wait for
several hours.
     What's more, the service in the train was also very poor. The trip took over five hours. Unluckily, there
was no dining car in the train and only a bar with soft drinks. The worst of all, the air conditioning broke
down halfway through the trip and it got hotter and hotter in the train. However, there was no apology for
this, and before we reached King's Cross, the temperature was over 40℃. In view of the poor service, I
feel I am entitled to compensation. I am looking forward to hearing from you. 
                                                                                                                                Yours faithfully,
                                                                                                                                 David Robertson
