Dear Sir,
I have just received your letter about our center Thanks for your complaint I am reallysorry that you told me some problems such as no air- conditioning, lack of space, and theteacher’s teaching methods
I admit that our center needs recognized in many fields First of all, we need to equip withthe classroom because the weather is hot now, so there will be at least an air- conditioning
in every room and the students can be comfortable to study here Second, the classroom isnot enough big for the students to study well because there are many students in a class
We will limit the number of the students I think there will be 25 students in the future.Moreover, you told me about teacher’s teaching methods I know that they are young andthey don’t have many experiences in their jobs I will recruit many experienced teachers totrain the young teachers We not only encourage our staff to join many courses aboutteaching training methods but also have many discussions about teaching methods everymonth Finally, we will invest more into our center to attract many good teachers andstudents next time
To sum up, I am very happy to hear your complaint I promise we will make it better,more comfortable and more famous

On the other hand, some people think that they will also have some disadvantages ofcomputers
We have taken a lot of benefits since computers were invented First of all, it is easy for us
to get information For example, we can get news all over the world quickly and easily.Secondly, computers can help us study better For instance, if we want to study somelanguages, we can learn them at home on computers It is a convenient way for peoplewho haven’t much time to attend language classes Furthermore, there are a lot ofdocuments in many fields of the science, we can find out many interesting and excitingthings from the computer when is equipped with the internet It helps us to work quicklyand easily such as typing or saving the information Especially, it is very useful in themedicine, we can find out the things that cause many problems in our health to help thedoctors to cure the strange diseases Finally, we can relax with computers after hardworking day or studying hours We can choose some kinds of entertainments such aslistening to music, watching film, playing games and so on
On the other hand, we also have some disadvantages from the computer; especially it isconnected with the internet First, people particularly children, they can be affected somesocial evils because of bad websites, they can imitate the things which they have seen.Second, some information is not always true; as a result, we can be cheated For constant,there are many bad websites which sell the bad things Moreover, children can be addicted
to different games and their studying may be interrupted Finally, we spend a lot of moneyand time using it because it is also expensive in Vietnam
To sum up, computer is a wonderful facility in our life In addition, it is very useful forstudies as well as entertainments, especially in many scientific fields and medicine And Ithink every one should have good awareness of using computers so that our life will bebetter and better in the future
