In your advertising you claim that books from your bookstore are of high quality. However, I find out there are some pages missing in it, and worse still, there are some misprints, too. I really feel disappointed with it.

When I took the book back to yo ur store, the assistant said it was my fault. Not on ly did he refuse to give me any solution, but he also treated me as if I was stupid to have bought it in the first place.

I’d like you to chang one for me or gi ve back my money as soon as poss ible.

I’m looking forward to hearing from you.

Yours faithfully

His art and talent were recognized by almost no one. He suffered from a mental illness that led him to cut off part of his left ear in 1888 and to shoot himself two years later. But after his death, he achieved world fame. Today, Dutch artist Vincent van Gogh is recognized as one of the leading artists of all time. Now, 150 years after his birth on March 30, 1853, Zundert, the town of his birth, has made 2003 “The van Gogh Year” in his honor. And the van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, home to the biggest collection of his masterpieces, is marking the anniversary with exhibitions throughout the year. The museum draws around 1.3 million visitors every year. Some people enjoy the art and then learn about his life. Others are first interested in his life, which then helps them understand his art. Van Gogh was the son of a pastor(牧师). He left school when he was just 15. By the age of 27, he had already tried many jobs including an art gallery salesman and a French teacher. Finally in 1880, he decided to begin his studies in art. Van Gogh is famed for his ability to put his own emotions into his paintings and show his feelings about a scene. His style is marked by short, broad brush strokes(笔画).“Instead of trying to reproduce exactly what I have before my eyes, I use color more freely, in order to express myself more forcibly,” he w rote in a letter to his brother in 1888. Van Gogh sold only one painting during his short life. He relied heavily on the support from his brother, an art dealer who lived in Paris. But now his works are sold for millions of dollars. His portrait of Dr. Gacher sold for $89.5 million in 1990. It is the highest price ever paid for a painting. “I think his paintings are powerful and the brilliant colors in them are attractive to people,” said a Van Gogh’s fan. 1. All through his life, Van Gogh . A. depended on his brother B. worked hard on art studies C. was not recognized by people D. expressed himself in paintings 2.Van Gogh killed himself because of .

Earthquake safety is very important and there is more to it than just keeping buildings from falling down. So if your home is in an earthquake area, you should prepare carefully before the earthquake comes. First, make sure you buy a house which is earthquake safe. All pipes should be fixed to the wall and all walls should be especially thick and strong. You also have to make sure that there are bolts underneath your house. They are one of the most important ways of protecting a house. Make sure the building has no broken windows and is well repaired. Second, look at the objects in your house. Those in the living room, which are the most likely to hurt us, are computers, televisions and lamps. They can be tied to tables or stuck to them so they won’t easily move around. The kitchen, which is also very dangerous, must have strong doors on all the cupboards. This is the place where

Alternative Press. D. Sound & Vision. B I dropped out of college after my freshman year. Three years later, I quit a dead-end job and returned college. I saw school as my way out. But I quickly found myself facing the same roadblocks that had caused me to quit before: I was confused with college-level algebra and a heavy workload of reading and writing assignment. Moreover, I was unsure of my career direction. I was ready to drop out again. Then a smartly-dressed woman walked confidently to the front of my English composition class. “Look at you! Look at each and every one of you,” she said. “You’re here to change your lives for the better. And you’re going to make it!” I can’t remember the rest of the speech, but it changed the course of my college career and my life. Mrs. Smith didn’t know me from any of the other 40 faces in her classroom, but I felt she speaking directly to me. Having trouble keeping up with the workload? Break it down into small pieces, and set up a schedule that suits you. If college algebra is too difficult, drop back to introductory college math. As for English composit ion, she gave us writing assignments we could relate to. “Go for the best, kid. You’re worth it,” she’d say. I graduated from that college and went on to get my bachelor’s degrees.
