Dear Sir,
I am writing to complain about the meal I had at your restaurant - The Jogmeal - in Kota Baru last Saturday night.

The service was very slow and when the meal finally arrived the curry was cold. When I asked for the food to be taken back and reheated, the waiter was rude and shouted at me and my friends. In fact he told me that I should have ordered something different. Finally, when the bill came there was a mistake on it – we were charged twice for our dessert.

If this is a typical of your usual standard of service, I, for one will not come back in a rush!

Yours faithfully

Budi Herlambang

Plants are one of the five main groups of living things. These groups are called kingdoms. The plant kingdom includes such living things as grasses, trees, ferns, bushes, and flowers. Botanists, the scientists that study plants, have counted more than 260,000 species (kinds) of plants.

Plants vary greatly in size and shape. Some plants are so small they can hardly be seen. Other plants tower above the land. The giant sequoia trees of California are one of the largest living things on Earth. They can grow to heights of nearly 300 feet (90 meters)!

Just like animals, plants are made up of tiny structures called cells. But unlike animal cells, plant cells are surrounded by a stiff material called cellulose. Most animals move around and eat other things. Plants are different. Plants that grow on land usually stay in one place and make their own food.
