Dear Sirs,
Your shipment of 12,000 'Smart' watches was received by our company this morning. However, we wish to make a number of complaints concerning the serious delay in delivery and your failure to carry out our instructions with regard to this order.
It was stressed from the outset that the delivery date had to be less than six weeks from the initial order, in order to meet with our own customers' requirements. While we appreciate that delays in production are occasionally inevitable, we must point out that the major reason why the order was placed with your company was because we were assured by you of its immediate shipment. Late delivery of the goods has caused us to disappoint several of our most valued customers, and is bound to have an adverse effect on potential future orders.
The second complaint concerns the discrepancy (差异,误差) in colour between the watches we ordered and those delivered. It was stated clearly in the original order that watches in combinations of green/purple and orange/purple only were required. However, only half the watches in the delivery received are of the colours specified. Our Hong Kong agent assures us that she stressed to you the importance of following our instructions precisely, since we consider there to be only a limited market in this country for watches of other colours at the present time. Any watches that are not of the specified colours will, of course, be returned to you.
_________________, therefore, we feel that the most suitable course of action is to return to you unpaid any of the goods considered unsatisfactory, and to deduct (扣除) any costs incurred from our final settlement. We shall also, of course, be forced to reconsider whether any further orders should be placed with your company.
We look forward to your prompt reply.
Sincerely yours,
Miss Madonna Morrison

书面表达
Dear friends,
I’m very glad to have this chance to speak here to so many young people.
My dream is a simple but great one ----- to be a school teacher. You may wonder why, for the teacher’s job is hard and the pay is poor. I have my own idea about it. I have had the dream of becoming a teacher since my childhood. As is known to all of us, the teacher’s job is very important and necessary for social and economic development. To me, it is a pleasure to be with small children. They make me feel young and I don’t think it waste of time to teach small children. On the contrary, I think it’s a valuable job.
That’s all have to say. Thank you.
