3. make/earn    make/eam money 賺錢。

Dear Sir/Madam,

This train was never late before,but last Thursday it did not get to the station 2       time and my friends and I had to wait for nearly fifty minutes.The train was supposed to 3        the station at 9 ： 10 am but it was 10： 30 am when it set off in the end.

   Officials at the station neither said sorry to us 4        gave us any reason for the delay (延誤) .

On our way to Stenberg it stopped for another thirty minutes and still nobody told 5        why.

   What’s more, 6       service on the train was also very poor. The trip took more than five hours.However,we could buy 7        but some soft drinks on the train. Worst of all,something was 8        with the air conditioning and the temperature reached 38X1 before we arrived in Stenberg. All the 9        on the train were so angry that they asked me to write this letter to your company. We hope you can give us some explanations and improve your work later. We are looking forward to 10        from you.

Yours,John Armstrong
