A Letter to the University President about the Canteen Service on Campus
January 12th, 2002
Dear Mr. President:
As an ordinary undergraduate① majoring in Mathematics, I'm proud of being a member of this world-famous university, but I'm afraid I'm not very content with the canteen service on campus.
Every coin has its two sides. So does the canteen service. As is known, the canteen was redecorated② last month. Now it becomes magnificent③ both inside and outside. We are bathed in pleasure and pride in such striking architecture. To be frank, we are happy that high-quality food and tasty dishes are available④ now. Besides, the service is also bettered than before.
However, in the meantime the prices of the food have risen so sharply⑤ that many poorer students can't afford them. In the long run, that will disturb their studies. We're in agreement that a university canteen should not only aim at earning money by means of raising prices. All of us hope the canteen can provide us with not only delicious but also inexpensive food. In addition, sometimes the canteen is too crowded. So I believe it is necessary to arrange⑥ some more seats for us.
Such are my suggestions about the canteen service on campus. I really hope you can take some effective measures to change it better. Thank you.
Best wishes!
Yours sincerely,
Li Ming

【簡評】
這是一篇根據情景提示完成的書信體應用文。
在文章第一段，作者交待了自己的身份和寫信的緣由：作為一名本科生，他對學校食堂的服務不是十分滿意。第二段，作者以肯定的態度表明食堂經過再次裝修後，環境得以美化，飯菜美味可口，服務有所改善。第三段用however將筆鋒一轉，指出食堂服務的不足之處。首先，飯菜價格上漲幅度過大以至許多貧困生難以承擔。大家希望食堂能夠提供價廉物美的食品。另外，食堂有時過於擁擠，因此有必要安置更多座位。最後一段，作者希望校長採取有效措施進一步改善食堂狀況並表達謝意。
本文中心突出，主題明確，層次清晰，結構緊湊。格式規範準確，語言簡潔流暢，措辭得體而有禮貌，因而是一篇成功的佳作。
