这是对房东说的

The faucet in Xiao Yun's apartment has been dripping for a week.

She writes a note titled: this is for the landlord.

Her friend has looked it over and thinks the content is clear about the facts, but a little too hard toward the person.

Xiao Yun says she is not angry at the leak at all; she just cannot stand the midnight sound.

When the landlord comes, he is also holding a note.

He says to her that he has recently been taking care of his hospitalized mother, so it was delayed until today.

Xiao Yun turns the complaint note over and rewrites it as a repair checklist.

The landlord nods at the checklist and says sorry.

After the faucet is fixed, Xiao Yun tells her friend that prepared words can sometimes become gentle too.

Her friend replies, “Then your second note to the landlord should be called a thank-you letter.”
