We have always been satisfied with the quality of your produce(农产品)，which makes this case all the more puzzling．I would be grateful if you could look into the matter．We would be happy to keep the apples and try to sell them at a reduced price，but in that case we would obviously need a credit(部分退款) from you．Alternatively，you could collect them and replace them with apples of the right quality．Would you please phone me to let me know how you want to handle it?

Task 4
People in some countries cannot use their native language for Web addresses. Neither can Chinese speakers, who have to rely on pinyin. But last Friday, ICANN, the Web’s governing body, approved the use of up to 16 languages for the new system. More will follow in the coming years.
The Internet is about to start using the 16 languages of the world. People will soon be able to use addresses in characters (字符) other than those of the Roman alphabet (字母表). The change will also allow the suffix (后缀) to be expressed in 16 other alphabets, including traditional and simplified Chinese characters.
But there are still some problems to work out. Experts have discussed what to do with characters that have several different meanings. This is particularly true of Chinese.

Dear Ann,

Letter 2
Dear Mary，
Cook something that would let you spend time with your guests，If a guest offers to help you in
the kitchen，accept the offer. It often makes people feel more comfortable when they can help. Before serving dinner，while your guests make small talks in the living room，offer them drinks. Some guests may like wine，but make sure to provide soft drinks for people who don’t.
