1.日记

Oct 3, 1999,SundayRainyIt was raining outside when I got up early in the morning.It's too bad, I had to go to school by bus.I said to myself.It was almost seven o'clock before I left home.I put on my raincoat and ran to the bus stop in a hurry, for I thought a lot of people might be waiting there.Hardly had I got there when a bus was coming.I got on the bus immediately, hoping it was possible for me to take a seat.I saw an empty seat and took it.But I found an old lady standing behind me.I stood up at once and was about to ask her to take the seat when a young girl in a modern skirt made a dive for it.I could hardly believe it.I glared at her, thinking“What bad manners!She cares for nobody but herself.Won't she grow old in the future?”

A good example of memo

To:Dong Fang, Head Reference Librarian

From: Liu Jian, Reference Assistant

Subject: Implementing Open Shelves in the Reference

Section

Date:May 10, 2008

The purpose of this memo is to recommend a new shelving system for books in the reference section of our library.Following are(1)a background statement,(2)a discussion of the new system, and(3)recommendations.Background

Under the present system of closed shelves, students wishing to consult reference books must fill out a requisition slip, wait in line, give the requisition to a desk person, and wait some more time before receiving the desired book.This system is time-consuming, unwieldy, and ineffective.The result is that students do not like to use the reference facility of the library.New System

I propose that we switch to an open-shelf system at once.The transition can be made simply by eliminating the desk that forms the front of the reference section.The fear of theft that some people have voiced could be eliminated by using the magnetic detection system that is already in place.The benefit of open shelves would be a reduction in personnel and free access to a needed library resource.Recommendations

To implement the open-shelf system we should proceed with the following changes:

1.1.Eliminate the front reference desk.2.2.Maintain a central information desk.3.3.Reassign all but two librarians who presently work at the front reference desk.I am certain that these changes will do much to improve the service that this section of the library provides.
