Dear Mr. Leigh Richards,
As I was unable to access the questionnaire online, I am sending feedback on my hotel stay directly to you.
I was impressed by many of the facilities your hotel offers, but I especially enjoyed the state-of-the-art fitness center. It had three times as many machines as one normally finds in other hotels, and the 24-hour access made it possible for me to work out at any time I wished. Although I did not eat at European-style. restaurant, NoMi, I did order room-service dinners from there several times and was impressed with the quality of the meals. I was less enthusiastic about your business center, which could use a few more computers and a new copier. I was also disappointed in the lack of parking facilities.
Generally, I would say that the benefits of staying at your hotel far outweighed the disadvantages and that overall I had a pleasant week at the Renaissance Cleveland Hotel. As my job requires me to travel to Ohio frequently, I expect to become one of your regular guests.
Best regards,
Laura Godwin

Kavya Shivashankar, whose parents migrated to the United States from India, and who aims to become a doctor, enjoys playing the violin, bicycling, swimming and learning Indian classical dance.
Thing came a bit late in Kavya's life since she could win the championship with her fourth appearance in the competition. The last three times when she had taken part in the same competition she had finished Tenth, Eighth and Fourth.
However, this time Kavya proved her courage and determination by winning the title she had been competing for so long. Her last challenge was to spell out "Laodicean". The word "Laodicean" means one who is indifferent, mostly in religious matters. She spelled it correctly and a big smile appeared on her face. Kavya wrote the words on her palm each time and spelled every word correctly.
After winning Kavya exclaimed, "I can't believe it happened... It feels kind of unreal." Her family was there to support her through the competition. Her father, Mirle Shivashankar said, "The competitiveness is in her... but she doesn' t show that. She still has that smile. That's her quality.' He went on to say that this was "the moment" they had been waiting for so long. It was like "a dream come true" for them.
Who is Kavya Shivashankar?
A.One of the 11 finalists at the spelling competition.
B.A 13—year—old girl planning to become a star dancer.
C.Champion of the Scripps National Spelling Bee 2009.
D.An Indian girl enjoying playing various musical instruments.
