Your company, Cosmo Books Ltd., 21 this set(eight books of plays and two books of poetry)at what was claimed to be a “remarkable” 22 : fifteen pounds and fifty pence, including postage and packing. I had wanted a set of Shakespeares plays and poems for some time, and these books in red imitation leather, looked particularly 23 ; so I sent for them. Two weeks later, the books arrived, 24 with a set of the complete works of Charles Dickens which I had not ordered. So I returned the Dickens books to you, with a 25 for fifteen pounds and fifty pence for the works of Shakespeare. Two more weeks passed. Then there arrived on my door step a second set of the works of Shakespeare, the same set of novels by Dickens and a six-book set of the plays of Moliere, in French. Since I do not read French, these were of no use to me at all. 26 , I could not afford to post all these books back to you, so I wrote to you at the end of August of last year, instructing you to come and 27 all the books that I did not want, and asking you not to send any other books until further 28 . You did not reply to that letter. Instead you sent me a bill for forty-two pounds, and a set of the plays of Schiller, in German. Since then, a new set of books has arrived every two 29 : the works of Goethe, the poems of Milton, the plays of Strindberg; I 30 know what I have. The books are still all in their boxes, in the garage, and my car has to 31 in the rain outside. I have no 32 for any more books, and even if I read from now on 33 the Last Judgment, I should not finish reading all the books that you have sent me. Please send no more books, send no more bills, send no more angry letters 34 payment. Just send one large lorry and take all the books away, 35 me only with the one set of the complete works of Shakespeare for which I have paid. Yours faithfully, SIMON WALKER21.

It will also be able to translate any language for you too. Its just one more incredible result of the development of microprocessors-those tiny parts of a computer commonly known as silicon chips. So give up going to classes， stop buying more textbooks and relax. In a couple of years you wont need the international language of English.Already Texas instruments in the United States are developing an electronic translation machine. Imagine a Spanish secretary， for example， who wants to type a letter from the boss to a business man in Sweden. All he or she will have to do is this: first type the letter will appear on another television screen in Stockholm in perfect Swedish.And thats not all. Soon a computer will be able to teach you English， if you really want to learn the language. Youll sit in front of a television screen and practice endless structures. The computer will tell you when you are correct and when you are wrong. It will even talk to you because the silicon chips can change electrical impulses into sounds. And clever programmers can predict the responses you, the learner, are likely to make.So think of it. You will be able to teach yourself at your own pace. You will waste very little time, and you can work at home. And if after all that, you still cant speak English you can always use the translating machine. In a few years, therefore, perhaps there will be no need for BBC Modern English, or BBC English by Radio programsno more textbooks or teachers of English. Instead of buying an exciting new textbook， the computer will ask you to replace it with microprocessor one thousand nine hundred and eighty-four. Fast, reliable and efficient language learning and translating facilities will be available to you. Think of that no more tears or embarrassing moments. One little problem is that a computer cant laugh yet-but the scientists are working on it. Happy learning！36. Silicon chips are _.

Zhao has regarded the film as one of his favorite films since he stepped into the acting circle.Sine 1993, Mr. Zhao has taken part in the shooting of 13 films, most of which are highly thought of.Mr. Zhao said that Taiwan should think to cooperate（合作） mush with the mainland in the film producing industry and it would benefit each other.
