阅读下面的短文，然后按照要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。 January 10, 2008 Dear Editor,
I am writing this letter to reflect some problems I came across recently and appeal to the improvement ofthe service industry. This weekend I bought an English dictionary in a bookstore near my home since its cover is elaborately designed. But when I went home and carefully, I found that several pages of the dictionary have been cracked and befouled. What is worse, the misprints spread everywhere in the dictionary and seriously affect my comprehension. Since there was such damage and misprints to the dictionary. I went to the bookstore to require for a replacce. But to my surprise, the staff of the bookstore turns down my request rudely and even denied the poor quality ofthe dictionary.
Today's fast-paced and market-oriented economy calls for much tugher standard for service industry. However, to my regret, many of the commercials fail to achieve this standard and the quality of the staff needs to be improved. It's self-evident that the poor quality of practitioners in the service industry will

Recently our Lague Committee has carried out a survey- \when in trouble?\
61% of the students surveyed select friends or schoolmates as their ideal listeners when they have trouble. They also want to tell others they trust about something personal, for they think they have a better understanding of each other in the same age group. Another 22% choose teachers and parents to talk to. because in their opinion, teachers and parents are rich in life and education experience. Nevertheless, there are 17% who don't share their troubles at all. They find it hard to get along well with others. 读写任务： Dear Mary: Thank you for your letter. which the editor sent to me yesterday.
