Overhead bridges are found in many parts of Nanjing, especially in places where traffic is very heavy and crossing the road is very dangerous.

The purpose of these bridges is to enable passengers to cross road safely. Overhead bridges are used in very much the same way as zebra crossings. They are more efficient although less convenient because people have to climb up a long flight of steps. This is inconvenient especially to old people. When passengers using a zebra crossing,  traffic is held up. This is why the government has built many overhead bridges to help passengers and to keep traffic moving at the same time.

The government of Nanjing has spent much money in building these bridges. For their own safety, passengers should be encouraged to use. They can’t risk their lives by running across the road.

Dear Sir or Madam:

A year ago I bought a Relex camera second hand. It’s a SW 705 model, and it’s about five years old. Here’s my problem: The light metre was fine when I bought the camera, but now it isn’t working and my pictures are coming out too dark. I checked the batteries, and they are still good. I took the camera to some repair shops, but they said they couldn’t repair it because the model is too old and they don’t have the necessary part.

Do you have the parts for this model in stock? If so, could I send you the camera for repairs? How much would the repairs cost? I’m going to buy your new SW800 model in about six months, but I would still like to fix this old one.

Thank you very much.

Sincerely yours

Sarah H, McDaniel
