Dear Sir or Madam,

I’m writing to you to complain about the quality of a green blouse which I bought in your shop while I was on holiday in Hangzhou about a week ago. I bought a green blouse for 468 dollars in your shop, but there seems to be something wrong with it. When it is washed, the color runs. Now I can’t possibly wear it. It’s not my fault, so I’d like you to solve the problem for me. I insist you change it for another one for me or give my money back (refund the money). I think it’s better for you to make sure that everything in your shop is good. Then you will have more customers. I’m looking forward to your early reply.

1. 举一例虐待老人的事例(在住、吃、治病方面)，但老人死后儿子花钱大办丧事的事例。

2. 发表你自己的看法。

A Big Funeral Is Too Late

Dear editor,

I’m writing to you to draw our attention to one of bad social customs – ill-treating the old while they are alive but holding a big funeral after their death.

Grandma Li was my neighbor, who died last month. The old lady had three sons. All of them had grown up and got married, but none of them wanted to take care of her. They let her live in a small dark room. They gave her little food. When she got ill, they refused to take her to hospital.

But to my surprise, the old lady’s sons spent a lot of money on her funeral. The funeral lasted several days, and scores of cars and trucks were used on the day when the old lady was buried. What is the use of such a big funeral for the old lady? It is too late for her. We should take care of old parents while they are alive instead of spending so much money on them when they are dead. Yours faithfully,

Li Ming

I became very worried when I heard that you have caught a terrible flu again. So I am writing to you and would like to know how you are now. I think you should take a complete physical checkup and find out the real trouble it the illness persists. My help will be available if you need any help. Wish you good health.
