　　Tibet is among the most popular places for Chinese tourists．The number of travelers of Tibet has grown by 10% every year for a few years．Since July 1, 2006, when the first train ran 1956 kilometers from Xining to Lhasa, more and more people have been going to Tibet．

　　The train stops at several famous places along the way, such as Qinghai Lake, Kunlun Mountain, and the Potala Palace．Passengers can also enjoy many activities during the journey, like Tibetan dancing and Karaoke．

　　On the train, passengers can have tea, eggs and noodles for breakfast, and fried chicken and green vegetables for lunch and dinner．Unlike most Chinese trains which have open-hole toilets, this one has special toilets which can collect the waste．There is also a special rubbish system(系统)in the train that keeps the environment clean．All the windows on the train can protect people from the bright sunlight．TV and electrical sockets(插座)for computers and mobile phones can be fond on the train．

　　Because there isn’t much oxygen there, trains will have oxygen masks(氧气罩)for those who need them．It makes passengers feel more comfortable when they have enough oxygen on the famous “roof of the world”．There are also doctors on the train to make sure that all of the travelers are safe．

Dear Sir or Madam,

　　Last Thursday, I traveled on the 8∶00 a.m.train from Glasgow to King's Cross, London 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 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
