Dear Sir or Madam,

My name is Li Hua. I am a student from a high school in China. I had recently bought a book from your website. However,some problems have arisen,that makes me upset. I am writing to complaint about them.

First of all,the book I ordered reached to me ten days late than expected,which brought me lots of inconvenience.

Proverbs are quite common in spoken English. We don't normally put them in a composition or a letter. Sometimes it is helpful if you know what common proverbs mean. Here are a few examples：

1       If a dog bites me,I shall be twice as careful in future when I see it. This proverb is also used to apply to many things and not only to dogs. If you have been cheated at a shop,you will not go to the same shop again.

2       If I am a hunter,trying to catch birds,it is better to catch one than to see two birds in a bush but not able to catch them. Thus this means that what you have already got is better than the chance of being able to get something bigger in future.

3       When too many people do something,they get in each other's way and do a bad job. "Pour oil on troubled waters" is to try to calm things down. Oil is lighter than water. If

a ship is in trouble at sea,another ship may come to help it. The second ship can send small boats to rescue people. However,it may first pour oil on the sea to mi^ce the sea less rough.

"Don't be a dog in a manger (食槽) "means "don't be selfish". In a stable (;馬廄) ，the manger is the place where the horse's food is put. Sometimes a dog will sleep in the manger and bark when a horse comes to get its food. The dog does not want to eat the hay in the manger but it will not let the horse eat it.

"He is sitting on the fence" means that somebody will not say whether he is in favor of a plan or against it. He is sitting on a fence between two opposing sides,perhaps waiting to see which side will win.

4       A piper is a musician. The man who employs or pays a musician can say what tunes the man will play. Thus this means that if a man provides the money for a plan,he can say how it will be carried out.

5       means that you cannot get something from a person who has not got any of the things you want,for example,you cannot get a million dollars from a poor man.

   A. ” You can't get blood out of a stone."

   B. "He who pays the piper calls the tune."

   C. "Once bitten,twice shy."

   D. "It is pouring cats and dogs."

   E. "A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush."

   F. "It is no use crying over spilt milk."

   G. "Too many cooks spoil the broth (soup) ."

Organizing Activities & What to Eat for Kids' Party Kids' parties can be more fun than adult parties―you don't have to be so serious and you can let your inner child out with them. Plus,by the end of the day when all the kids' energy has come to an end,and they fall asleep,you're right there,laying next to them,taking a little nap yourself！

* Plan some games.

These are the building blocks of a good child's party,so start thinking up craft projects,look into renting an entertainer,or make use of the facilities at an outside place. Look into your phone book or search on Webs for party rentals or places near you. 1      

* Make party favors (小禮品) interactive.

Instead of giving them a bag of small toys that will get played with for three minutes and then shoved in a drawer,have them make the party favors themselves!2       Taking part itself is kind of fun.

* Plan the party food.

When it comes to parties,one thing is timeless―cake. Will you bake one or buy one? Or two? Cupcakes are easy and super trendy as well. 3       Make the food theme oriented,too!

* Plan the party drinks.

Soda pop,lemonade,and juice are all pretty standard. And if you'll be outside a lot,a cooler filled with bottles of water or cans of soda will surely be appreciated,especially if it's hot outside. 4       If it's autumn or winter,have the kids play outside and come in for cider (蘋果酒) to warm them up.

* Plan the goodbye.

5          You can be reached when they're running late,early,or sending someone else to pick up their child. Establish protection for the safety of every child.

   A. For younger kids,have a loose schedule to keep things running.

   B. For all invited kids,have their favorite games and make them enjoy themselves.

   C. No matter how you get it done,you have to spend some time making plans and doing shopping.

   D. Give the other parents your cell phone number.

   E. Whatever you choose,either get the order in advance or go grocery shopping for the ingredients ahead of time.

   F. And,of course,milk goes great with cake.

   G. The kids will feel more involved and think they are a part of the party.
