Dear Sir,

  Just over six months ago, I saw an advertisement in a morning newspaper for a set of the complete works(全集)of William Shakespeare. Your company offered this set at a low price: 15 pounds and 50 pence. I had wanted a set of Shakespeare's plays and poems for some time, so I sent for them.

  Two weeks later, the books arrived, together with a set of the works of Charles Dickens which I had not wanted. So I returned the Dickens' books to you. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of Dickens' books and a set of the plays of Moliere, in French. I do not read French, and they were not useful at all, so I wrote to you.

  You did not answer that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for 42 pounds and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. I have no room for any more books, and I have no time to read them all.

  Please send no more books, no more bills and no more angry letters for payment. Just send one large truck and take all the books away, leaving me only with the one set of the works of Shakespeare for which I have paid.

Yours,

Simon Walker

Dear sir ,
I have travel every day from Souk Road to the airport. Two buses travel along the routes: the(路线): the number 49 and the number 16. But by the time the number 16 bus reaches Souk Road, it is always full, so I can’t get on it, I have to wait for the number 49 because sometimes there are empty seats on it.
The timetable says that there are buses from Souk Road to the airport every ten minutes. If this is true, why do I have to wait half an hour for a bus nearly every day?
The rules say that if there are empty seats on a bus, the bus must stop at every stop where people are waiting Why do the half-empty buses go straight(一直)past me when I am standing at bus stop?
The rules say that no bus may carry more than 40 seated passengers and 20 standing passengers. Yesterday I was the first to get off the bus when it reached the airport. I counted the other passengers as they got off. There were 129 people.
It is clear that our bus companies break the rules and think little of their passengers. Can nothing be done to make your service(服务) better?
Yours
Tired passenger

 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 about the service of your station.

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. So I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.

What’s more (更重要的是), the service on the train was quite 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 and it got hotter and hotter in the train. Before we arrived in King’s Cross, the temperature was over 40℃.

Because of your poor service, I think you should pay me compensation (赔偿).

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours, David Robertson
