Subject: Complaints Date: May 30, 2007 From: David@hotmail.com To: Glasgow@silverline.com 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 @silverline.com> |

What happened to David because of the delay of the train? _______________________________________________________________ 3. Why did it get hotter and hotter in the train? _______________________________________________________________ |

"Before I came out," said one, "I ran into some of the rooms and found a lot of money. People don"t think about money when they are afraid. When you leave money in a fire, it burns, so I took all the bills that I could find. No one will be poorer because I took them." "You don"t know my work," said the other. "What"s your work?" "I am a policeman." "Oh!" cried the first man. He thought quickly and said, "and do you know my work?" "No," said the policeman.

There was a woman who lived there, whom I had never met, yet I could see her seated by her window each afternoon, sewing or reading. After several months had gone by, I began to notice that her window was dirty. Everything was unclear through the dirty window. I would say to myself, "I wonder why that woman doesn"t wash her window. It really looks terrible." One bright morning I decided to clean my flat, including washing the window on the inside. Late in the afternoon when I finished the cleaning. I sat down by the window with a cup of coffee for a rest.What a surprise! Across the way, the woman sitting by her window was clearly visible. Her window was clean! Then it drawed on me. I had been criticizing (批评) her dirty window,but all the time I was watching hers through my own dirty window. That was quite an important lesson for me. How often had I looked at and criticized others through the dirty window of my heart, through my own shortcoming (缺点).
