2004年1月英语六级作文真题:浪费现象

作者能较灵活准确地使用词汇表达，但学术词汇的积累还有很大的空间；文中从句数量稍显不足，注意个别有错误的句子；文章结构不够严谨，应增加过程性词汇的使用。

June 19, 2004 Dear Editor, I am writing this letter to reflect some problems I came across recently and appeal to the improvement of the service industry. This weekend I bought an English-Chinese dictionary in a bookstore near my home since its cover is elaborately designed. But when I went home and read carefully, I found that the several pages of the dictionary have been cracked and befouled. What was worse, the misprints spread everywhere in the dictionary and dreadful influence my reading. Since there was such damage and misprint to the dictionary, I went to the bookstore to require for annother one. But to my surprise, the staff of the bookstore turn down my request rudely and even denied the poor quality of the dictionary. It goes without saying that today's face-paced and market-oriented economy calls for much higher standard for service industry. However, to my regret, many of the commercials fail to achieve this standard and the quality of the staff needs to be improved. It's self-evident that the poor quality of practitioners in the service industry will not only deeply disappoint customers but also hamper the development of our country's economy. As a result, I expect your newspaper to appeal to the service industry to attach more importance to the service improvement. Thank you for your attention! Sincerely yours, Sam
