J 1139 Janus Avenue Laketown, NY 100023 November 14, 1982Personnel ManagerBrown and Nelson Department Store2933 I stand JacksonNew York, NY 100034Dear Personnel Manager, I would like to complain about the service of your shop-assistants in the men’s clothing department. I was in your store last week and wanted to purchase a coat. There were a number of shop-assistants in the area, but no one offered to help me. Finally, I asked for some help, and a young man came to me, very unwillingly. Although he helped me find a coat I liked very much, he could not answer several of my questions about the coat and did not show that he wanted to find the answers by asking other shop-assistants, who may know. Several days later I found a similar coat in another store, and because the shop assistant was very helpful in meeting my needs, I bought the coat. I have been buying things from your store for a long time and have always found your shop assistants to be very helpful, I hope that the problem with the men’s department will soon be solved so that people would want to visit yours more often. Thank you for your time spent on this letter. Yours Larry T. Drakes What is the writer trying to say in the third paragraph

M Mr Brown lived in a house less than two miles from his office. He was able to drive home every day for lunch. Every time he drove home in the middle of the day, he found that oars were parked on the road outside his house and there was no room for his own. He had to drive two hundred meters more before he could find a place to park his oar. Then he had to walk back home. This made him very angry. Then, he set up a board in the garden facing the road. It had two words "No Parking" on it, but nobody seemed to notice (注 意) it. If it was a blue board with the words "Police Notice: No Parking", no car would be parked in front of his house. So, Mrs Brown suggested that he make one like the police notice (告示). Mr Brown said he was not the police and couldn’t use the word "police".

Mrs Brown said. "You told me you weren’t going to use the word "police", but this is just like a police notice." "Is it" Mr Brown asked. "Look again." Mrs Brown started to laugh. "You are really very clever.\ Mr Brown usually had his lunch ______.
