One day Trudy saw an advertisement in a magazine. It offered a packet of 100 mixed stamps for $10. Trudy wanted to start a stamp collection so she ordered the packet. One hundred mixed stamps seemed a good way to begin a collection. She sent a postal order to the stamp company with her order, and waited excitedly for the stamps arrived. Trudy checked the mail every day for four weeks but the stamps didn’t arrive. So Trudy decided to write to the company. “Dear Sir/Madam,” she wrote, “a month ago I sent you a postal order for $10 as payment for 100 mixed stamps. They haven’t arrived. Please send them by return of mail.” another month passed. The stamps still didn’t arrive and she didn’t receive any replay to her letter. She asked her father for advice. Her father said, “You must write a stronger letter. Make the stamp company worry that you will report them to the authorities.” “Dear Sir/Madam,” she wrote in her second letter. “I am writing to complain about your poor service.

Every year，in late March or early April，a boat race takes place on the Thames River，England．This boat race is an event between the two most famous and also the oldest universities in Britain﹣the Oxford（牛津大学）and the Cambridge（剑桥大学）．
The idea for the boat race between the universities came from two friends﹣Charles Merivale，a student at Cambridge，and his friend Charles Wordsworth who was at Oxford．They decided to set up a boat race between the two universities．On March 12，1829，Cambridge sent a challenge to Oxford first．
When the first boat race took place in a small town by Thames，eight students from each university became the competitors．Crowds of twenty thousand traveled to watch．It was so exciting．And the Oxford was clear winners．Later on，not only did the students from the two universities take part，but also some social groups attended the event．By 1845，with the small town becoming too crowded，the boat race had moved six miles up to the village﹣Putney．From 1856 on，the race has been held every year except war years．This boat race is considered to be"the world's oldest sporting challenge"．
The race is four and a quarter miles in just 20 minutes and the competitors often face difficulties．It usually takes six months for the two teams to prepare for the big days．In the past，the Oxford was mostly the winners．But things have changed from 1993 on．The Cambridge has won more．
