This train was never late before, but last Thursday it did not get to the station____time and my friends and I had to wait for nearly fifty minutes. The train was supposed to____
_the station at 9:10 am but it was 10:30 am when it set off(出发) in the end. Officials at the station neither said sorry to us___
__gave us any reason for the delay(延误). On our way to Stenberg it stopped for ___
___ thirty minutes and still nobody told us why.
What’s more, the service on the train was also very poor. The trip more than five hours. However, we could buy__
___but some soft drinks on the train. Worst of all, something was wrong with the air conditioning(空调) and the temperature reached 38℃ before we arrived in Stenberg.
All the passengers on the train were so angry that they asked me to write this letter to your company. We hope you can give us some explanations and improve your work later.
We are looking forward to___from you.
Yours,

We live in a small town and almost everyone knows each other. It used (be) very quiet and nothing much ever happened around here. However, these days, something
(usual) is happening in our town. Victor, a teacher at my school, is really nervous. When he was
(interview) by the town newspaper, he said, “Every night we hear strange noises outside our window. My wife thinks that it could be an animal, but my friends and I think it must be teenagers
(have) fun. My parents
(call) the policemen, but they couldn’t find
(something) strange. They think it might be the wind. I don’t think so!”
Victor’s next-door neighbor Helen is (worry), too. “At first, I thought that it might be a dog, but I couldn’t see a dog, or anything else, either. So I guess it can’t be a dog. But then, what could it be?” One woman in the area saw something run away, but it was dark so she is not sure. “I think it was too big to be a dog,” she said. “Maybe it was a bear or a wolf.”
Everyone in our town is feeling (easy), and everyone has his or her own ideas. There must be something visiting the homes in our
(neighbor), but what is it? We have no idea. Most people hope that this animal or person will simply go away, but I do not think that is going to happen. The noise-maker is having too much fun
(create) fear in the neighborhood.
