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."
Do you love the holidays, but hate the increase in weight that follows? You are not alone.
Holidays are happy days-with fun and delicious foods. But many people are worried about the weight that comes with these delicious foods. With proper planning, it is possible to control your weight. The idea is to enjoy the holidays but not to eat too much. You don't have to turn away from the foods that you enjoy. The following advice may be helpful to you.
Do not miss meals. Before you leave home for a party, have a small, low-fat meal or fast food. This may help you to keep you from getting too excited before the delicious foods.
Begin with clear soup and fruit or vegetables. A large glass of water before you eat may help you feel full. Use a small plate; a large plate may make you eat more than enough.
Better not have high-fat foods. Choose lean(瘦的) meats. Fill your plate with salad and green vegetables.
If you have a sweet tooth, try mints and fruits. They do not have fat like cream and chocolate.
Don't let exercise take a break during the holidays. A 20-minute walk after a meal can help you burn off excessive(多余的) calories.
