【正确答案】January 12, 2002
Dear Mr. President,
I am a student from Department of Applied Physics of our university. I am writing to you to tell you some problems about the canteen service on our campus.
Firstly, the quality of the food, especially its flavor, remains to be improved. The students come from different parts of the country, yet almost all the dishes served in the canteen taste sweetish. This flavor is to the taste of the local students, but not to the students from other regions. Secondly, the prices for the meals are too high. We have to spend 400 or 500 yuan on our meals each month. It is quite a burden to many of my classmates. Thirdly, the environment in the canteen is not satisfactory. The dining hall is small, old and somewhat dirty. In summer time, we can sometimes find flies and mosquitoes flying here and there. Finally, the service is far from satisfying. The waiters and waitresses do not work very hard, and we occasionally find them quarreling with the students.
To solve these problems, I think, we should build or introduce more canteens or fast-food restaurants. Only when competition is introduced will the overall canteen service be bettered.
I know that as a president, you have a busy schedule every day, but I sincerely hope that you will set aside some time for tackling these problems in our canteen service. All of us will appreciate you concern with the present canteen service.
Yours respectfully,
Li Ming
