 A

   Young people are often unhappywhen they are with their parents . They say that their parents don’t understandthem . They often think their parents are too strict with them, and they arenever given a free hand.

   Parents often find it difficultto win their children’s trust and they seem to forget how they themselves feltwhen they are young.

For example, young people like to do thingswithout much thinking. It’s one of their ways to show that they grow up andthey can do with any difficult things. Older people worry more easily. Most ofthem plan things ahead and don’t like their plans to be changed.

When you want your parents to let you dosomething, you will have better success if you ask before you really startdoing it.

Young people often make their parents angryby clothes they want, the music they enjoy and something else. But they don’tmean to cause (引起) anytrouble . They just feel that in this way they can be  cut off from theold people’s world and they want to make a new culture of their own . And iftheir parents don’t like their music or clothes or their manner of speech , theyoung people feel very unhappy .

Sometimes you even don’t want your parents tosay “Yes ” to what you do . You want to stay at home alone and do what you like.

If you plan to control (控制) your life , you’d better win your parents over and tryto get them to understand you . If your parents see that you have high sense ofrespon suability (责任感) , they will certainly give you the right to do what youwant to do.

Dear Sir or Madam,

   Last Thursday, I raveled on the8:40 am train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross and I was very unhappy with theservice provided by our company.

   The train was forty minutes lateleaving Glasgow , and although the guard apologized , we were not given anyreasons for the delay (误点) . We then had further delays when the train crew (乘务组人员)changed at Preston and had to wait another thirtyminutes . As a result, I missed my fight from London Health row to Frankfurtand had to wait for several hours.

   What’s more, the service on thetrain was also very poor. The trip takes (A) over five hours. Unluckily, therewas no restaurant car on the train and only a bar with soft drinks. Worst ofall , the air conditioner broke down half – way through the trip and it gothotter and hotter in the train . However , there was no apology for this , andbefore we reached King’s cross， the temperature was no centigrade .

In view of the poor service , I feel I amentitled to compensation(有权索赔).

(B) I took forward to hearing from you

Yours faithfully.

David Robertson
