Question

 Dear Sir or Madam,

   Last Thursday, I traveled on the 8:00 a.m. train from Glasgow to London King’s Cross and I was quite angry about the service of your station.

     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 (誤點). We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes. So I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.

     What’s more (更重要的是), the service on the train was quite 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 arrived in King’s Cross, the temperature was over 40℃.

     Because of your poor service, I think you should pay me compensation (賠償).

     I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

                                                                  Yours, David Robertson
