　　Letter 1:
　　Dear Sir or Madam,
　　I am at present living in a house which I rented(租)through your agency(中介)in October this year. I am sorry to inform(告知)you that the heating system(供暖系统)in the house stopped working some time ago. This is very inconvenient(不方便的)as the weather is starting to get colder.
　　I phoned your agency and explained the problem one week ago. A Mr. Shi assured(向我保证)me that someone would come to fix(修理)it, but no one has ever come yet. I am puzzled(困惑)as to why you have failed to(没能)pay attention to such an urgent(紧急的)matter(事情). I must remind(提醒)you that a fully(完全)operative(运作的)heating system is one of the terms(条款)of the lease(租约)of the house.
　　Therefore, I would very much appreciate(感激)it if you would send a technician(技师)to repair the system as soon as possible. He may call at any time during the day, as either my wife or I will be at home all this week.
　　Yours sincerely,
　　Kenny Gao
　　Letter 2:
　　Dear Mr. Simpson,
　　I’m writing to inquire about(问询)a bag which I left behind(遗忘)at your hotel when I left New Zealand for China.
　　I stayed in your hotel on the 23rd and the 24th of October. I was in room 603. When I arrived home, I discovered that I had left one of my bags at the hotel. Could you please check(核对)your Lost and Found Department(失物招领部)and see if my bag is there?
　　The bag is a small, black leather(皮子) document case(文件包)with a narrow(窄的)strap(捆带). Inside the bag, you will find several business cards(名片), a fountain pen(自来水笔), a small address book(地址本)and three copies of a business proposal(提案). Also, there is a silver(银的)pocket(口袋，袖珍)calculator(计算器). These things are not very valuable(值钱的)in money terms(从钱的方面而论), but they carry(携带，拥有) a lot of personal value(意义，价值).
　　I would appreciate it very much if you could contact(联系)me as soon as possible since I need the proposals for a presentation(宣讲)this week. If you could send the bag to me by courier service(快件), I would be most grateful(感激的). I will arrange to pay for the service on delivery(寄送).
　　Thank you for your help.I look forward to hearing from you.
　　Yours sincerely,
　　Kenny Gao
