I have read in a college newspaper that in July theadministration of the college decided to make repairs to thefirst floor. I did a survey among my classmates and 99 percentof students would like not to wait for their lunch. On behalf ofmy classmates I am asking you to enlarge the cafeteria in orderto make it more spacious.
Thank you for your understanding and cooperation.
Yours faithfully，Lianna
亲爱的先生和女士：
我自从上大学的第一天起就一直是自助餐厅的一名顾客，我提一些建议以帮助改进学校自助餐厅的服务。
首先，感谢自助餐厅所有员工所提供的服务。我承认自助餐厅的员工都很友好，环境也干净。然后，饭菜也很美味，还有******和素食主义者的特色食物。
但是，不足之处在于自助餐厅太挤太吵了。结果，吃饭时间，人非常多，都有好几个队伍同时排队等餐桌就餐。例如，我有一次排队等候1个小时的时间，最后数学课迟到了。
我看了学校报纸，说学校7月份要修缮一楼。我在班里做过调查，99%的学生不希望吃饭的时候需要排队。我代表班级，申请扩建自助餐厅。
谢谢您的理解与合作。
真诚的，李安娜

Do students have the right to fall in love in college
This is a controversial issue in our times. Just as a coin hastwo sides， no side is better than the other； it is often difficult todistinguish what is right from what is wrong Love is a feelingdeep within our hearts.
Roaming around the campus， you often hear peopleproclaim： 'Why didn't Cupid aim his arrow at me''Whereis my handsome prince'This is probably why songs aboutlove are so popular among the youth.
Last year， I remember when one of my roommates met herRomeo. First， she ate very little for days and just sat oppositefrom the mirror singing： 'Mirror， mirror， on the wall， who isthe fairest of them all'We thought that she must be crazyand got the urge to ship her to the hospital. Later， they becamelovers and we saw a twinkle in her eyes. She said： 'Our matchis made in heaven， there is a chemical bond between us.' Inthe days following， a smile always hung from her face. Isn’tlove powerful.
Another one of my roommates was not as fortunate. Shehad a boyfriend but now all that is history. The boy was a couchpotato. They used to fight over very trivial things. She finallygot fed up with the boy and separated quite unpleasantly. Webetter not go through this kind of love.
