Plot-The Fruitcake Special

which she puts a piece of fruitcake. When she meets her boss, Mr Amos, He finds himself
attracted to her and invites her out to dinner. Annas mother and Aunt Mimi want to find Anna a
husband and try to convince her that Armstrong, the pizza delivery man, is a suitable catch, but
Anna is not interested in him.
Later, when they go out to dinner, Mr Amos loses interest in her and only becomes
interested again when she puts on more of the perfume. A waiter at the restaurant also
becomes very attracted to Anna and makes a nuisance of himself with her. Sabrina, a beautiful
model who is dating Mr Amos, becomes jealous of Anna. She insults Anna and then hits Mr Amos
when he says that he loves Anna. A fight takes place in the restaurant between the waiter and Mr
Amos.
Anna realises that the fruitcake special is probably the cause of the attraction. She decides
to get more information about the fruitcake from Aunt Mimi. Aunt Mimi tells Anna that the lady
who had made this particular fruitcake had died. Anna then decides to find out the secret
ingredient in fruitcake by testing the perfume.However, when she is further insulted by Mr Amos
and Sabrina, she accidentaly flings the last of the perfume on Sabrina. She resigns from her job
and starts work with another perfume making company.
One day, Armstrong, the pizza delivery man, comes to Annas house and informs her that
he now owns his own pizza company. He tells her that he always had been interested in Anna but
he did not want to ask her out until he was successful. Anna decides that she likes him.

Report about the School Canteen

I am writing this report is to draw your attention regarding the school canteen. Many of the students of Sekolah
Menengah Kebangsaan Permata are unhappy about the conditions at the school canteen. There were lots of complaints
regarding this issue.
In the first place, there are insufficient tables and benches. Our school has a student population of over 1
000. There is only one period of recess time for all forms. More than 80 per cent of the students go to the canteen during
recess to buy food and drinks. Unfortunately, there are only about twenty-five tables and fifty benches which can
accommodate less than half the number of students. As a result, many students have to stand while eating.
The food sold at the canteen not only expensive but lacks of variety. The menu is the same every day. For the past
five years, ever since the present canteen management took over, students go back to the same food.
The hygiene and preparation of food leave a lot to be desired. The food and drinks are not covered. They way
canteen attendants dress speak volume about hygiene. With their lackadaisical attitude, the food they sell would one way or
the other become contaminated.
My fourth complaint about the canteen pertains to the etiquette of the canteen workers. They are rude and arrogant.
They often shout at students. The students are always on the receiving end of their bad moods.
We hope that conditions at the canteen will improve. The canteen should provide better amenities. There should also
be a different menu everyday so that students will not have to taste the same food day in and day out. Cleanliness should be
given top priority.
We hope that you will look into our complaints and take steps to remedy the situation. The students are prepared to
boycott the canteen if their complaints go unheeded.
