【推荐3】Dear Mr. Green,

I am writing to complain about the computer that I bought from your company last week. I am unhappy with the computer and your service.

       According to your advertisement, you will give me some software (软件). I was hoping for something useful, like the word-processing software, but you just gave me the software about a tennis game. It is quite useless for me.
       I was also unhappy with the service that I received. Although this kind of computer that I bought was on sale for￡150 less in my local computer shop, I was happy to pay more money to buy your company's computer. Because I thought your company would offer me some technical help. However, I was totally wrong.
     I am still having difficulty getting the computer started. I would like you to send one of your technicians to my house as soon as possible to fix it.
     I hope to hear from you in the near future. You can call me at 13489**0000 anytime.

Yours sincerely,

Chris Brown

【推荐2】Are you an “I” person or an “E” person? We hear this question a lot these days.     1     So what is the MBTI test? It’s a personality (人格) test that helps us better understand our personality preferences (偏好). It was developed in the 1940s. When you take the MBTI test, you are provided with several sets of questions.     2     For each question, you need to choose the answer that best matched you. Then you’ll know what your personality type is.

    3     First, people want to understand themselves. It’s hard to say human personality, but this test provides a simple way for people to learn about themselves. Next, taking the MBTI test is both relaxing and enjoyable, because its questions are really interesting.     4     The MBTI test offers a way to connect with others deeply. Last but not least, though there are many kinds of personality tests on the market, the MBTI test is the most believable.

The MBTI test may show something we don’t know about ourselves and can be a fun way to help us make new friends. But knowing someone’s MBTI results doesn’t mean we really know that person.     5
