A
Dear Sir,
I am writing to you about my stay at your hotel. My wife and I arrived on
Saturday, May 15th and stayed for a week. Though we were treated well and found
the service excellent, we think there are one or two things we should bring your
attention.
1. We hoped for a nice holiday from our busy work lives, and your ad said
“comfortable and quiet”. We want to have a chance to enjoy ourselves. However, we
were always waken up by the noise every morning. Is it really necessary for the
workers to start their repair work so early?
2. We hoped to swim in your “wonderful pool”. To our disappointment(失望), we
found that it was closed for the whole time of our stay.
I hope you do not mind my writing to you about these things, but I would be happy
if you could give me some explanation(说明). As I said at the start, it is a pity, and
your service is so good in other places.
I hope to hear from you soon.
Yours sincerely

Hundreds of years ago, life was much harder than it is today. People didn’t have
modern machines. Life today has brought new problems. One of the biggest is
pollution. Water pollution has made our rivers and lakes dirty. It kills our fish and
pollutes our drinking water. Noise pollution makes us talk louder and become angry
more easily. Air pollution is the most serious kind of pollution. It’s bad to all living
things in the world.
Polluted air from cars, planes and factories is so thick that it is like a quilt(被子)
over a city. This kind of quilt is called smog(烟雾). Many countries are making rules
to fight pollution. Factories must now clean their water before it is thrown away. And
they mustn’t blow dirty smoke into the air. We need to do many other things. We can
put waste things in the dustbin and not throw it on the ground. We can go to work by
bus or with our friends in the same car. If there are fewer people driving, there will be
less pollution.
Rules are not enough, every person must help to fight pollution.
