Dear Sir,
I am writing to you about my stay at your hotel.
My wife and I 1 on Saturday, 15th, May and stayed 2 a week. Though we were treated __3 and found the service(服务) excellent, we 4 there are one or two matters we 5 bring your attention.
First, we had hoped for a nice 6 from our busy work lives, and your ad 7 "Comfortable and quiet". We want to have a chance to enjoy ourselves. However, we were 8 to find that repairs are sometimes needed, but is it 9 necessary to start early in the morning?
Second, we had hoped to 10 in your "wonderful pool". To our disappointment (失望)， we found that it was 11 for the whole time of our stay.
I 12 you do not mind me writing to you 13 these things, but I would be happy 14__ you could give me some explanation(解释). As I 15__ at the start, it is a pity, and your service is so well in other fields.
I hope to hear from you.
Mr. Hector Bradley

I am a mother of three and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology. The teacher was really inspiring. The class was asked to go out and smile at three people.
I am a very 1 person and thought this would be a piece of cake. Soon after, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald’s. We were standing in line, waiting to be 2 , when all of a sudden everyone around us began to 3 away, and then even my husband did.
As I turned around I 4 a terrible “dirty body” smell, and there standing behind me were two poor 5 men. As I looked down at the short gentleman, he was “ 6 ”. His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God’s Light as he searched for 7 . He said, “Good day” as he counted the few coins he had been 8 .
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, “Coffee is all Miss” because that was all they could 9 . He just wanted to be warm.
Then I really 10 it—the compulsion（冲动）was so great that I almost reached out and hugged the little man with the blue eyes.
That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging(判断) my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a 11 tray（托盘）.
I then walked around the corner to the 12 that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman’s 13 hand. He looked up at me, with 14 in his eyes, and said, “Thank you.”
I 15 with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn: acceptance without condition.

As soon as he succeeded in finding one, he picked it out 7 put it into his son’s bowl, saying kindly, “Eat some more. Have enough 8 so that you can study well.”
