One of the most recognizable landmarks in London, England, is the Elizabeth Tower
of the Palace of Westminster and the Great Clock at the top, commonly 16 by its
nickname: Big Ben. Most people would agree that no trip to London is complete without a
photo with Big Ben. At the end of summer 2017, however, renovations on the clock began, 17 will keep Big Ben’s bell silent until the year 2021, except for major events like New
Year’s Eve and Remembrance Sunday. Big Ben will be dismantled entirely piece by piece
to be cleaned, fixed, and made more energy 18 .
The clock tower chimes have rung throughout the streets of London since 1859. This
did not include the period of major repairs that 19 between 1983 and 1985 and a
brief stint of silence in 2007. For the time being, an electric motor will power the hands to
keep time for everyone who glances up at the historic clock face. Big Ben is reportedly the
most 20 building in the UK, so at least the right time will be displayed in all those
pictures.

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.
January 25, 2019
Yours faithfully, Miranda
