Dear Sirs,
For the past 8 years I have been a statistician(统计员) in the Research Unit of Baron & Smallwood Ltd. I am now looking for a change of employment which would broaden my experience. A large and well-known organization such as yours might be able to use my services.
I am 31 years old and in excellent health. I majored in advertising at London University and I am particularly interested in work involving statistics(统计).
Although I have had no experience in market research, I am familiar with the methods used for recording buying habits and trends. I hope that you will invite me for an interview. I could then give you further information.
I am looking forward to hearing from you soon.
Yours faithfully,
Mike Smith

For years and years people have been saying that the railways are dead. "We can do without railways," people say, as if motorcars and planes have made the railways unnecessary. We all keep heating that trains are slow, that they lose money, and that they are dying. But this is far from the troth. In those days of expensive oil, the railways have become highly competitive with motorcars and planes. If you want to carry people or goods from place to place, they are cheaper than planes. And they have much in common with planes. A plane goes in a straight line and so does a railway. ,What is more, it takes from the heart of a city into the heart of another. It doesn’t leave you as a plane does, miles and miles from the city center. It doesn’t hold you up as a car . does, in endless traffic jams. And a single train can carry goods which a plane or motorcar could never do.
Far from being dead, the railways are very much alive. Modem railway lines give you
