Ⅵ.書面表達
One possible version:
Dear editor,
I'm writing to tell you about a food poisoning incident. Several days ago, my neighborhood family ate a bag of fake food from the market. After the meal, they had stomachaches and brought
up what they had eaten as their faces turned pale. Fortunately, another neighbor passed by and found the accident and immediately called the ambulance, which carried them quickly to hospital. After several hours' treatment they finally escaped from death.
From this all of us have realized the importance of food safety. As some illegal businessmen are only interested in making profits in the race to become rich quickly, they seldom care about the necessary safety measures and hygiene or care what happens to consumers. They must be brought to justice. Meanwhile I do hope the whole society will begin taking action to protect people's life safety.
Yours,
Li Hua
