The use of plastic bags was restricted in the supermarket and many other shops freely. At the beginning, it was carried on well, but now I found plastic bags were used in some small shops for free or with no pay.Sample 1 (9分)I am writing to tell you that we should solve this problem soon with the help of your newspaper. You could make some investigators (此处应为investigations) about it and write some reports of it, so as to appeal to all the people’s attentions of our society.Sincerely,Li MingSample 2Dear Editors,I have been reading your newspaper for many years with a great enthusiasm and interest. It is my view that limiting the use of disposable plastic bags is of utmost significance.To crack this hard nut, I would like to propose several practical recommendations as follows.First and foremost, it is imperative for us to ban the free use of disposable plastic bags. In addition, we should develop possible alternative forms to replace them, such as paper or clothing bags. Last but not least, plastic bags should be offered in a much higher price in department stores or supermarkets.Sample 2I hope you will find the above proposals conducive/helpful and I would like to discuss this matter to further details with you. Your prompt attention to my suggestions would be highly appreciated.Yours sincerely,Li Ming(新东方王江涛)Sample 3Dear Editors,I, as your faithful reader,am writing this letter to suggest that plastic bags should be restricted in our daily life. However, to my surprise and sadness, I have found that disposable plastic bags are still widely used in some areas just because people are unwilling to change their old habits, thus causing their surroundings to be even worse.To solve this serious problem, I would like to put forward a couple of practical suggestions. Above all, our country should establish a strong agency to limit the production of those bags and monitor the use of them. Furthermore, some other choices should be advocated to replace plastic bags with paper or bamboo ones. Finally, consumers should pay for the use of plastic bags so as to enhance their consciousness of environmental protection.Sample 3I really hope my suggestions would attract your due attention and receive an early reply.Yours Sincerely,Li MingExercise 3 (2007年试题)51.

Remember that what you want is compensation or resolution, andoffending your reader will not accomplish that.注意事项和布局一、注意事项:1.写明时间,交代清楚写投诉信的原委2.描述事实应客观、准确、简洁3.对收信人要礼貌4.明确表达解决问题的方式和期待的心情二、布局: 说明投诉问题——描述具体情况——期待解决方案首段:自我介绍;引出投诉内容;表明目的要求主体:展开投诉原因,具体理由或后果,注意内容充实,符合交际习惯。
