She gave me a 53 smile, nodded while listening patiently, and then printed out the 54 immediately. “What a wonderful lady!” I thought.

Rushing out 55 I called out over my shoulder, “By the way, what‟s your name?” “I‟m Rani,” she said. I turned around and saw a 56 woman with a big smile on her face waving to wish me a safe trip. I was 57 ! Why had I thought she was cold? Rani was, well, so 58 .

Dear Sir,

I am writing to make a complaint for the English-Chinese dictionary that I buy in your bookstore. I bought the dictionary on March 10, whichever cost me 300 yuan. Returning back home, I opened it, only to find that more than twenty pages were missing. What‟s more, some content were printed poorly so that I can‟t use it. This is against all expectations but it also makes me very annoy.

I suggest that you should exchange this English-Chinese dictionary for other one, or I will ask you to give my money back. I hope you can give me satisfactory reply and deal with this matter reasonable.

Yours sincerely,

Li Hua
