21. A Letter to the University President about the Canteen Service on Campus

　　January 12th, 2002

　　Dear Mr. President,

　　I am a sophomore from Department 3 and I am writing to you about the food and service in the canteen on campus.

　　To be frank, I am rather disappointed at the food quality, price and service in the canteen. First, the dishes are scarcely well cooked and most of them taste the same. Secondly, most of the dishes there are priced so high that some students cannot even afford them. Thirdly, the service in the canteen is far from satisfying and the inside of the canteen always seem untidy.

　　To solve the problem, I suggest that another canteen be built and a mechanism of competition be introduced between the old and the new. Besides, both the canteens should be subject to the students supervision.

　　Dining is an everyday issue for students. It may affect their academic performance. Therefore, I sincerely hope this letter can draw your attention to the matter and I hope the problems mentioned above can be solved as soon as possible. Best regards.

　　Yours sincerely Li Ming
