Find out and rewrite some sentences to make the letter sound more emphatic:
Dear Sir,
I am writing to complain about my recent stay at your hotel. I have never stayed in a more uncomfortable place before. It was not only dirty and untidy but there was a horrible smell, too. I had no sooner stepped in than a bad smell reached me.
What I was disappointed with was the quality of the room: it was too small, the bathroom did not have a shower and the air-conditioning never worked.
I have seldom had such terrible food. The waiter was wearing a dirty apron(围裙) and all he was interested in was the receptionist. What is more, I didn’t realize I had left my telephone in your terrible room until I left, but when I came back to find it, it was just gone.
I shall expect financial compensation of $300. Otherwise, I intend to turn to your national tourist authorities（国家旅游协会） for assistance.
Yours sincerely,
Michael Grant

1 看了这篇文章，我想起了自己的学习英语的经历。
2 我将永远不会忘记。
3 我一上高中就发现英语比以前难学了很多。
4 后来，我第一次考试不及格。直到那时，我才意识到我要努力学习英语，赶上其他同学。
5 我向教师求助，他告诉我无论如何都不能放弃英语学习。他还给了我一些学习建议：不仅要牢记单词和好句子，还要学会正确的运用它们。
6 只有这样，我才能取得进步。
