四、閱讀測驗【請依照段落上下文意,選出最適當的答案】 January 25, 2019
Dear Sir or Madam,
I stayed at your Prince Hotel in Chiayi from 21st to 23rd January 2019 in Room 1518. I am writing for
your assistance in finding my Minnie Mouse T-shirt that I have carelessly left in the room during my stay at
your hotel.
First of all, I am gratified to have an outstanding service at your hotel. My family and I really enjoyed it
and we would definitely like to come again. Now, I would like you to help me locate my T-shirt. It is a white
women’s tee and has a silhouette of Minnie’s head on the front, below which is my name “Miranda.” I
accidentally stained the shirt with soy-bean sauce while having breakfast in your hotel. After going back to my
room, I quickly washed it to remove the stain and hanged it in the balcony chair. The last day during our stay in
your hotel, to catch the train back to Taipei, we hurried to check out and forgetfully left my T-shirt in the
balcony.
As you can see, the T-shirt I left at your hotel is a customized one. My family of four had the T-shirts
tailored during our trip to Tokyo Disneyland last summer, and I have learned that they do not offer this kind of
service any longer—that is, the tee I left behind is one-of-a-kind. We have made a plan that every time we go
traveling, we will wear them together since it is a token of our family bond. Hence, I am very dismayed that I
should forget my favorite T-shirt! Please check with your lost and found department about this item of clothing.
I would highly appreciate it if you can find it, inform me at your earliest, and deliver it to my address on the
attached envelope. Of course, I will bear the postal charges.
I look forward to hearing from you soon and expect another vacation in your hotel again.
Yours faithfully,
Miranda
