　　One day a woman who was a visitor in our city was going to the cinema. As she didn't know where the cinema was,she decided to take a tricycle outside the hotel.Seeing she was not a native,the tricycle rider thought he could get more money from her.It was quite some time before they got to the cinema.The rider asked her for 30 yuan. After the film,when she asked her way back to the hotel,she learned it was only 200 metres away.She got angry.Luckily, she remembered the number of the tricycle. She wrote to the company about it. And the rider made a self-criticism.
