Complaint letter

30 18th Avenue
Tauranga

Tuesday 15th April, 2014

Dear China Town in Fraser Street,

When I was at your diner last week for dinner I had a problem at your diner when I ordered some wedges. When I was eating them there was a bug in it. It made me very sick and I had school the next day the bug that was in the wedge was a cockroach it made the food taste horrible.

The right thing for you to do is to give me a refund on those wedges that I bought. I nearly chocked on my food from when I finished eating that one wedge. I would really appreciate it if you gave me a refund and keep you good work up.  

Kind regards Storm Roberts.

On Spaceship Earth
A Rondeau

On Spaceship Earth it’s plain to see,
We’re unmatched in the galaxy,
In terms of living things that fly
And swim and run; who could deny
That we’re as lucky as can be.

Beijing to Washington DC,
We treasure our technology,
And everything that it supplies
                           On Spaceship Earth.

But wait, the crew has made a plea
To treasure water, treasure trees,
They are our life support. That’s why
Our planet’s passengers must try
To safeguard sky and land and sea
                           On Spaceship Earth.
