  In 1638, John Harvard donated some money and about four hundred books
to a new university. This was the beginning of the library at Harvard University.
The gift was so important that the university was named for John Harvard.
  Thomas Bray began the first free lending library in the late 1600s. He set up
more than 30 or these libraries in the American colonies. However, the idea for
this kind of free library ended when Bray died in 1730. In 1731, Benjamin
Franklin and some friends started the first subscription library in the United
States. In a subscription library people pay money to become members, but they
may borrow the books without paying again.
  In the United States, every child had a free education. This idea soon led to

  Dear Sir or Madam,

  Last Thursday,I traveled on the 8:00 a.m.train from Glasgow to London

King’s Cross and I was quite angry with the service of your company.

  The train didn’t come on time and it was forty minutes late when it left Glasgow.

A man at the station said sorry to us,but he didn’t give us any reasons for the delay(误点).We then had further delays on the way and had to wait another thirty minutes.As a result,I missed my plane from London to Frankfurt and had to wait for several hours.

  What’s more,the service on the train was also very poor.The trip took more than five hours.Unluckily,we could buy nothing but some soft drinks on the train.Worst of all,something was wrong with the air conditioning(空调系统) and it got hotter and hotter in the train.Before we reached King’s Cross,the temperature was over 40℃.

  Because of your poor service,I feel you should pay me compensation(赔偿).

  I am looking forward to hearing from you.

                                    Yours faithfully,

                                     David Robertson
