Dear Wendy,

How are you and your family ? I miss you all very much. We haven’t seen each

other for a long time. I wish we could meet again during Chinese New Year.

I have moved to Canada for six months. I like Canada. I have lots of friends here. I

am attaching a photo of my new friends. They are Jenny, Lois, Peter and Danny.

We are in the same class. Jenny and Lois are my best friends. We like going ice-

skating together. Jenny likes baking cakes at the weekend. She always invites

Lois and I to her home. Her cakes are delicious! I hope I can bake cakes with you

when I come back to Hong Kong next time. Hey Wendy, when will you write your

exam ? I don’t need to write any exam here but I have to do a lot of projects. The

result will be shown on my report card at the end of each term.

Hope you like the photo. Write soon!

With love,

Carmen

Dear Carmen,

How are you ? Thank you for your letter.

I am going to write my exam next week. I hope I can get a good grade. After

the exam, I will have my Christmas holiday. My family and I will stay in Hong

Kong. We plan to go to Ocean Park on Christmas Day. How about you ? Will

you go somewhere to spend the day ? I hope you will have a white Christmas!

Have you decided the date of coming back to Hong Kong at Chinese New

Year ? I think it will be great and we can meet each other and get something

to do together. You can show me how to bake cakes.

Enjoy your holiday with your friends and family!

Best Wishes,

Wendy

The manager,

Super Iron Company

No.23 Petersburg Street,

Kowloon, Hong Kong.

Dear Sir / Madam,

I am writing to make a complaint on the product steam iron (serial number QWR23356)

which I bought at the ABC Department Store on 31st October, 2007.

I was recommended to buy that steam iron by the promoter. It performed a good quality

and its friendly functions while the promoter showed me at the counter. Unfortunately,

the iron did not work properly because it leaked water from the small holes when the

steam function was turned on. Obviously, it was impossible to iron on because my shirt

was sodden with water. I tried to contact your company by calling the Customer Service

Hotline yesterday but I could not reach anyone within an hour.

Could I please ask you to look into this matter. I look forward to your reply and a

resolution to my problem.

Please contact me at 24443222.

Yours Sincerely,

Steven Chan
