Dear Sir or Madam,
Last Thursday, I traveled on the 8: 00 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King's Cross and l 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. 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 and it got hotter and hotter in the train. Before we reached King's Cross, the temperature was over 40℃.
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
Mr. Brown is an old man. Every morning he goes for a walk in the park. And he comes home at twelve thirty for his lunch in the middle of the day.
But today a car stopped at his house at twelve 0'clock. Two policemen helped him get out. One of them said to Mr. Brown's daughter, "He can't find his way home in the park and ask us to take him home in the car."
The daughter thanked the policemen and they leave. Then she asked her father, "Dad, you go to the park every day. But today you can't find the way. What's wrong?" The old man smiled like a child and said, "I can find my way home. But I don't want to walk home."
It is reported that a law has been approved(通过) in Spain. Spanish children may soon (require) to help out with housework by law.
The law would be part of a wider child protection, and children under the age of 18 have to (join) in all areas of family life. That (include) housework and other work in the family. The rules come under a section of the law (call) "the rights and duties of children".
Along with (do) housework, children would also have to be respectful to their parents and teachers, and would do better their studies than before. But the law doesn't say anything about punishment for children who don't obey the law.
Married Spanish men can also face punishments for refusing (do) housework-requiring men to share in household duties, and the care of children and elderly family members.
Children should learn to do different kinds of housework different ages, but it is almost (possible) for Chinese children. They seem to avoid such usual housework at similar ages, because their families have protected them too much they were born. Children should realize that they are part of the families and have responsibilities(责任) on taking care of themselves and the family members.
