TO: All staff members

FROM: Jenny Lee, HR Director
SUBJECT: Vacation days
Some changes regarding our company vacation policy here at Johnson & Johnson Incorporated have
been made. It is now mandatory for everyone to submit a completed vacation request form at least 2
weeks in advance to get the vacation days you want. This, of course, is the result of the problems we
had last year when too many employees took time off in June to see the World Cup. As you know,
June was a very busy time for us, and we ran into big problems.
The form is available at the Human Resources Department. You are to fill it out and submit it to your
immediate manager to get approval. Once it has been approved, it will also be sent up to me to get my
approval. In case your manager feels that the timing of your request is not proper, then he will have the
authority to deny your request. Therefore, I suggest that everyone hand in your requests early. Thank
you for your cooperation.

153. What is the purpose of the memorandum?

(A) To notify employees of an organizational reshuffling within the company
(B) To make an adjustment in the length of vacation days
(C) To introduce a new company benefits package
(D) To provide an update on a company rule.
154. What is NOT mentioned in the memorandum?
(A) All requests for time off must be made officially.
(B) The company ran into some difficulties with a lack of staff in the previous summer.
(C) The manager must consult with the director before turning down a request.
(D) The HR Director has the last say in the requests made by the workers.

DATA STORAGE ONLINE
We are all well aware of the rapid grow of online databases. This has affected all levels of data storage,
from the grandest government archives to the largest corporations and education institutions all the way
down to personal journals and family financial records. On the one hand, this transformation of the way
that data is stored offers tremendous environmental advantages: much more data can be stored in a
much smaller physical space and yet is more-easily available to more people. There is no need to print
pages and then physically store them. More and better-organized information is more easily available
without storage problems. Have we reached some kind of infotopia? Perhaps, but there is a serious
downside, and that is the problem of document security. Computer systems, which are mostly
continuously connected to the Internet, are all too prone to being hacked. This can be done for criminal
reasons or simply because of the satisfaction that hackers get from cracking apparently secure
information systems. New opportunities for theft, espionage, blackmail, and political dirty tricks are
already in existence.

Dear Madam or Sir,
I was surprised and disappointed by a letter from your agency threatening me with the disconnection of
my power supply. I am an elderly pensioner suffering from a variety of ailments, and I expect to be treated
with more consideration, especially as I have faithfully paid all my electricity bills for the last 45 years!
The reason for my anger is that I have not only paid the bill but also informed you that I had paid it. So it
appears that I made a special trip to your office on the morning of March 5 for nothing. One of your
employees even told me that the mistake would be rectified and apologized!
Here, once again, are the details of my receipt: the receipt number is AQ3567X56-1. It is dated February
2, 2006. It is for the amount of $47.50 and covers the supply of service between January 1 and 31.
I trust that you will correctly rectify your records this time.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr. Wong,
This is my first day back from my trip to Asia. I wanted to send you a note right away to thank you for the
warm hospitality and help you provided during my visit. You and your staff demonstrated incredible
professionalism, kindness, and talent in all your efforts. The presentation to the leadership team was
unanimously well received.
My two trips to Singapore over the last three months have solidified my opinion and belief that you and
your team are definitely the right choice for our next groundbreaking project. I feel very confident that
you will spearhead a very successful initiative for us. I will formally prepare the proposal details to send to
my Chief Executive Officer, and I recommend we take the next step and formalize a contract for this
upcoming project with you. Once that has been drafted, I would like you and your senior members to take
a trip to our offices here in New York to review the final details together. We will make all the necessary
travel arrangements once we have a better idea about the timing. I trust that this will be good news for you
and your team. Please contact me with any questions in the meantime. Will be in touch with you early
next week.
Sincerely,

Re: Quick notes on my trip to Asia
Claire,
I just wanted to send you a quick note before my formal proposal regarding my trip to Asia and my
assessment of the Adventure Media Services Group.
As discussed briefly, my trips to Singapore over the last several months have proved to be very helpful in
determining our next partner in our Project Best initiative. Adventure Media Services presented
exceptional credentials, substantiated by further meetings, research findings, and facility tours.
I will be preparing my draft notes for the formal proposal, which I will submit for official
recommendation by the end of the week. 0 With your approval, we will then have the senior members of
the Adventure Media Services join us here in New York to work out the details.
Please keep your calendar open for their visit early next month.
In the meantime, if you have any questions, please let me know.

To remind you once again, I noticed an error on the bill after I returned from my business trip to Los

Airport Expansion in the Works

FORT REGINALD - The Fort Reginald Ministry of Transportation is currently finalizing plans to
expand Mirabel International Airport. According to sources, a minimum of 142 million Euro, more
than half coming from overseas investment, is to be earmarked for the project. The Ministry cites
the steady increase in air traffic and the deregulation of air transport as the major factors that have
led to the elaboration of a project for the expansion and modernization of the current airport.

The main feature of the project will be a major new addition to the terminal, to be designed by the
architect Santiago Cervantes. This will expand the total size of the air terminal to cover an area of
25,000 square meters, including five additional gates, and experts estimate it will be capable to
handle 2.5 million passengers per year. The groundbreaking ceremony is slated for early this
September, and construction is expected to be completed in about 18 months.

PORTABLE DATA STORAGE DEVICES

Please be advised that, effective immediately, personal data storage devices, such as key
drives and portable hard drives, will not be allowed on company premises. Because they pose
too much of a security risk, personnel are asked to refrain from bringing such devices to the
office. Employees who require a means of mass storage for bringing work home with them
are asked to fill out a requisition form and submit it to their manager for approval. Those with
appropriate security clearance will be issued a special company portable hard drive. This will
be checked by security and scanned for sensitive data or potential security risks (viruses or
other malicious software) upon entering and leaving the building. Your cooperation in this
important new procedure is very much appreciated.

Questions 160- 162 refer to the following memorandum.

In response to the numerous requests weve received, the Fitness Center will be starting up yoga
classes this September. We have hired a new instructor with eight years of experience instructing
classes in Hatha yoga. The classes will be held on Monday and Wednesday mornings at 7:45
a.m. in the Fitness Center aerobics hall, but if there is enough demand, we will be opening
another class starting at 6:45 a.m. As always, there is no charge for employees, and members of
the general public who wish to join can do so for $25 for the eight-week session, or $3 per class.
I recommend that you register early, as space is limited.
In order to ensure the health and welfare of our staff, we require that those wishing to participate
in the yoga course have their family physician fill out a health history form. You can pick up the
forms prior to the start of September at the front desk in the Fitness Center. Please return the
completed form, signed by your doctor, when registering for the class.
No special equipment or footwear is needed, but we recommend stretchable, loose- fitting
clothing. In addition, for those of you wanting to get extra practice at home, special mats will be
available for purchase for a nominal charge starting in September.

Small Business Association of Windover,
P.O. Box 7465,
Windover, VT
Dave Mitchell
Manager, Sunrise Health Foods
154 Beecham Avenue, Unit 3A
Windover, VT
Dear Mr. Mitchell,
As a long-time member of the Small Business Association, Im sure youre as upset as the rest of
us about the recent hydro rate increase of 29 percent which took effect in October. The difference
in our monthly electricity bills is considerable, and for small businesses such as ours that are
struggling to make ends meet, Im sure I dont need to tell you what the increase could mean in the
long term.
I wanted to let you know that, as President of the Small Business Association of Windover, I have
taken the initiative to contact the State Corporation Commission on behalf of the Association to
voice the concerns of small business owners in the area and to register our opposition to this rate
increase.
In doing so, I was informed that final approval for this increase has not yet been given to Vermont
Hydro by the Commission. Commissioners will decide in the near future whether to approve all,
some, or none of the requested 29 percent increase. If the full 29 percent increase is not approved,
customers will receive a refund for any overcharges (so save your monthly statements).
This pending decision gives us an opportunity to prevent the increase. That is why I am writing to
all of the members of the Association to ask for your support. As customers of Vermont Hydro, we
can all contact the Commission and register our opposition to this rate increase. Now, it is your turn
to be proactive. Call to register your opposition and pass the word along to businesses in other
areas served by Vermont Hydro; even your friends and family could call - every little bit helps.
You can call the State Corporation Commission at (800) 553-7845 between 8:15 a.m. and 5 p.m.
Monday through Friday. You will be directed to leave your name, address, telephone number and a
statement of opposition. The call takes only 2 to 3 minutes. Every call is tabulated and will
hopefully make a difference in the final decision made by the commissioners.

Burnett & Sons, Professional Reupholsters

Enhance the Value and Beauty of Your Furniture!

Provided that a sofa or chair is in good shape on the inside and only needs new fabric on the outside,
all thats needed is recovering. When a piece needs work on the inside, including new webbing,
re-tied springs, new fillings, and re-cushioning, then a full-scale reupholstering is called for. Either
of these jobs requires the skills of a professional upholsterer, and thats why you should choose
Burnett & Sons. We are specialists in this field, and have been in the upholstery trade for 18 years.
Call us now at (020) 7622-9347.
If your old piece has a good frame, theres some significant savings to be had. Remember, good
frames dont wear out! If your old sofa frame has lasted ten years or more, its probably good
quality. Reupholstering that sofa instead of buying a new one can mean significant savings. The
price of a good wooden frame has jumped by more than 100% in recent years. And they dont make
them like they used to!
The professionals at Burnett & Sons use only the highest-quality modem materials and time-tested
traditional skills, providing you with results that are even better than the original. Youll get a full
measure of value for your money, with quality thats hard to match. Stop by our workshops,
conveniently located in central London, or stop by our website at www.burnettupholsterers.com to

negotiating the finer points of the contract:
Term. The term would need to be at least ten years before my client could seriously
consider entering into the contract.
Unit Price. The unit price would need to be at least $140.50 before my client could
consider the contract financially feasible.
Controlling Law. My client does business only in the State of New York and does not
desire to engage a lawyer in Maine, so the contract will need to provide that New York law
controls.
Publicity. My client requests that the last sentence of paragraph 3 on page 2 of the contract
be changed to read as follows: Publicity given to the program or services provided herein,
including, but not limited to, notices, information, pamphlets, press releases, research,
reports, signs, and similar public notices prepared by or for the Licensor, shall identify the
Agency as the sponsoring agency and will not be released without prior written approval

To: All Premiere Life staff
From: William Fortright, CEO
Re: Annual charitable contributions

Seasons greetings to everyone in our Premiere Life family! We wish you the very best!
It is at this time of the year that we make a special effort to think of those who are less fortunate.
We have made a tradition at Premiere Life of choosing one charity each year to make a charitable
donation to as an organization, and this year, we have chosen WorldSight.
For those of you unfamiliar with the good work this organization is doing, WorldSight provides
medical assistance and food aid to people who are experiencing crises in areas of the world
ravaged by famine and war. They are a non-governmental, non-profit organization, and they rely
entirely on private charity.
We were very pleased with your generosity last year in response to our pledge to donate to the
United Way. We had promised them $25,000, but as a result of your generosity, we were able to
give $40,000 - and no doubt made a difference in the lives of many, many people. This year, were
hoping to get even more staff members involved and raise even more for WorldSight.
Alison McGee, the Human Resource manager, will be organizing the campaign this year. She will
be passing out a form which you can use to pledge a certain amount of your January pay deposit,
and we will pool all of your contributions and make one donation to WorldSight on behalf of all of
you. If you would like to be involved, please fill out and return the signed form to her before you
leave for your holidays on December 20th.
Lets all give this holiday season and make a difference in the lives of those who are not as
privileged as we all are.

Re: RE: Extremely dissatisfied!

Dear Ms. Blithe,
Thank you for your e-mail of August 17th. We have investigated your complaint with the staff
members of Electro-Land in Torrance (Redondo Blvd. branch). Unfortunately, we are unable to
comply with your request for a refund and must uphold the decision made by the sales clerk that
you dealt with at the store. She was following company policy.
I have attached a copy of our refund policy for your review. This would also have been printed on
the back of your receipt. As you can see in point 4, we are not able to offer refunds on software that
has been opened if you do not have the original receipt. I hope you can appreciate that, once the
product is opened, it cannot be resold, and is therefore valueless to us.
In addition, I understand from your e-mail that your computer did not have the minimum
requirements to run the software, so you could not use it. However, the minimum system
requirements are listed by the manufacturer on the outside of the box the software came in. So, you
did not have to open the box to find this out.
We regret the situation and hope to continue to serve you in the future.

Electro-Land Refund Policy for Electronic Games and Computer Software

1. If you have your receipt and the package has not been opened (the security seal is unbroken),
we will offer you your choice of a refund or an exchange coupon.
2. If you do not have a receipt and the merchandise has not been opened (the security seal is
unbroken), you will be offered an exchange coupon. Cash refunds are not available in this case.
3. If the package has been opened (the security seal is broken) and you have a receipt, you will
be offered a refund or exchange only if the item is defective or unfit for the intended purpose.
4. If you do not have a receipt and the merchandise has been opened (the security seal is
broken), no refund or exchange is permitted.
An Exchange Coupon can be redeemed at any Electro-Land store for any purchase or (where
applicable) a repair of the item. This coupon can be used to replace the returned merchandise
with either the same item or an alternative of your choice. The value of the exchange coupon
will be the system price of the returned merchandise on the day of the return. You will be
requested to produce suitable identification, such as a Drivers License, or any other form of
identification that contains your name, address, signature and photo will also be accepted.

From: Michael Smith, manager, information services dept.
Re: Video Conference - Friday, August 21st at 6:45 a.m.
You are advised that there will be a video conference with head office this coming Friday. Everyone
who has been involved in the planning and implementation of that project is expected to attend. The
purpose of the meeting is to update Mr. Bill Sanderson, who is replacing Jim Watson in overseeing
all government contracts, about the progress that has been made and what still needs to be done. This
project is presently behind schedule, and Mr. Sanderson would like to get some idea of how far back
the deadline needs to be pushed before he calls the city. Please send Mr. Sanderson a brief summary
of your role in the project and any other information that you think might be pertinent so that he can
have a chance to prepare for the meeting. Mr. Sanderson will also be asking you for your ideas about
streamlining our work-flow so please give that some thought and offer your suggestions.
The conference is scheduled to start at head office at 9:00 a.m. EST, and the time difference means
that we will have to start at 6:45 a.m. Of course, we are aware that this falls outside of your regular
work schedule. You will be compensated for your time at the overtime rate. The meeting should last
about 2 hours, so you will be able to start your regular workday on time. This is the first such
conference that we have conducted, and if it is successful, we hope to hold all meeting between our
San Diego branch and head office via video conference. So, your participation in making it successful
is very much appreciated.

Re: Video Conference
Dear Mr. Sanderson,
My name is Aaron Rothschild, and I am the senior engineer on the Reinholdt Street bridge project. I
was asked by Michael Smith to e-mail you with some information with regard to the project schedule.
As Im sure you are aware, the project has fallen behind schedule. We were originally slated to begin
construction at the beginning of May, but there were numerous problems. The most significant of
these was that we were unable to find a local firm that could handle the kind of blasting that the
project required. The bridge called for blasting for the underpass for James Street, and this was very
close to a residential area, requiring a very specialized excavation blast. None of the firms in the San
Diego area had the necessary expertise. We were able to locate a company in LA that could do it, but
this put us two weeks behind schedule.
At the video conference on Friday morning, I think one issue that would be important to address is
why this oversight happened. We were under the impression that the blasting company that we
usually hire would be able to do the job, but this is because we were not given a clear idea of the
exact nature of the site until it was too late. I think this was a simple case of communication
'
breakdown, but it would be useful to discuss it to ensure it doesnt happen again.
Yours truly,
Aaron Rothschild

York (April 14, 2006) - The famous New York institution, the Winchester Hotel,
established in 1887, has just announce its intention to enter the convention
market. In a press release today, the hotel's management announced that it will
demolish several adjacent buildings, which it also owns, to make way for a new
convention center to be known as the Winchester Center. The design, already
approved by the New York City Council, involves ultra-modern facilities that will be linked to the existing
hotel by an atrium.
One of New York's most successful architects, the award-winning Lars Svendersen, has accepted the
challenge of creating a beautiful and functional new center while not diminishing the elegance of the existing
hotel. "My design intends to complement the beautiful Victorian structure. It is understated, but at the same
time elegant, it will also be multi-functional. The atrium will encourage informal meetings, while the new
convention center will offer state of the art audio-visual technology, exhibition halls of several sizes, and,
not far away, access to a health club, restaurants, and bars. My aim is to conserve the best of a past world
while offering a stimulating contrast in the design of the new center."

Dear Ms. Robinson,
We recently received an order of your new model Angle Grinder, which your salesman advised us to
offer as part of our handyman range. Although we have only had them in stock for the last two weeks,
we have already had 3 returns. Customers have complained to us that the locking ring simply does not
work properly, which causes the disk to fall off.
You can imagine our embarrassment. This is truly a dangerous situation, and we suggest that you stop
supplying this item immediately. You should also issue recall notices.
We are returning the entire order. Most of them are still in their boxes.I realize that your power tools
are generally of very high quality, so I hope you sort this problem out quickly for the sake of your
reputation.
Please issue us with a credit notice for the entire value of the order.

people from all over Greece being shipped as sacrifices to the Minotaur, The contrast between the

sparkling light of the Greek islands and the darkness of the mysterious Minotatir's maze is stunningly
done. A gripping and visually impressive movie. 1/2 Ben King
SWEAT AND BLOOD
This Spanish nonfiction movie set during the Civil War deservedly won the critics' prize at last year's
Toronto Film Festival. Filmed in a naturalistic style, it follows the lives of 4 once-close friends who are
separated by the war. Realistic and dramatic, it paints an all-too-believable picture of a world turned
upside-down by war. Recommended. (English subtitles) Jane Stevenson

YOUNG HEARTS IN VENICE

This is an awful attempt at a "romantic drama." Young Hearts in Venice tries to exploit the Venetian
setting to give this very ordinary little story a lift but utterly fails. Two couples intent on a romantic
Venetian holiday accidentally meet, They spend time together and ... you guessed it: there are
unexpected chemical reactions. The problem is that the script and acting are so poor that we couldn't
care less about any of the protagonists! Not recommended, M.H.
RED RAIN
If you enjoy horror movies where city slickers unintentionally get stuck in sinister country towns, this
movie is for you. Red Rain is a finely crafted effort from one of the masters of schlock-horror, Jim
Middleton. There's nothing new in the plot, but the special effects, decor, and script are excellent, and
the acting, mostly by unknowns, is also first-rate. 1/2 Jane Stevenson

Subject: Congratulations!

Hi, Margaret,
I'd like first of all to send you my congratulations. As you may have guessed, your interview last
Thursday went tremendously well, and your application for the position in our Paris office has been
approved. We'd like you to be ready to fly on June 4 because you'll need about a week to get adjusted to
your new environment. You'll begin work orientation on the 11th.

I realize that you speak French fluently and you have spent time in France. However, I strongly advise
you to take advantage of the company's resettlement course, which includes all kinds of benefits. Here is
a sample:

You can update your French with a private tutor before you leave. This will particularly help you with
the technical aspects involved in your new position over there.
We will give you several seminars on the French legal system and culture.

Subject: Another alternative solution
Good morning,
First of all, I want to mention that I am an avid reader of one of your magazines. The articles in
your magazine deal with real issues, and I especially like reading those columns where the readers

14
TRUNG TM O TO NGOI NG 24H / 0963 236 296
Reading Test
write in about their opinions of the issues covered in your magazine.
The reason for my contacting you this morning is because I think I can be of some help to you at
this time. I came upon your job placement ad while browsing through your magazine. I
immediately called a person 1 know in your company to seek more information and realized that
you are planning a major facelift of your company website and are looking for the right people.
I know that the process of putting together a viable web team can be a slow process. I also know
that it can be very costly. I used to manage a web team at my past company, and we ran into
problems we could not anticipate.
Webstarters is a company that was established in 1990 with the purpose of helping companies like
yours set up and maintain websites. We have a team of experts that understands the balance of
technology, design, and content that creates an effective web presence. Webstarters' development
team combines professional graphic design, Internet programming expertise, advanced technical
skills, and website marketing knowledge to create websites that are visually appealing, easy to
navigate, and accomplish your business goals.
I know that your intention is to have your own web team, but do consider other alternatives like
outsourcing to a company like mine. It just might be a wiser move. Please consider, and call me to
arrange a meeting to discuss the possibilities further. Thank you for your time.

Dear James,
You requested that all managers submit the names of their employees who will be attending the
workshop scheduled for November. Here is my list:

These four people on my team will be in attendance. As for Lenny Brown, he has provided written
permission to be excused from the orientation. The reason for his absence is that his grandfather has
passed away, so he must make a trip to his home country to attend the funeral. The situation is
unfortunate for his family but as for the orientation, I think it will be okay. Lenny has been with us just
under a year, and I think he can afford to miss this orientation.

Subject: Intranet Security
Posted by: Gillian Jules
Posted on: June 8
As you may have already heard, Gigawire will be coming in this weekend to rebuild our intranet
security system. This change is merely a semi-annual update to protect our records. By Monday, all
computers in offices in the west wing will have the new security system installed and running. The east
wing will have the updates next weekend

Anyone who needs access to security information must receive a short training session and receive new
usernames and passwords. After Friday afternoon, intranet access will be denied to anyone not equipped
with the new Gigawire password information. In order to receive new access information, you must
attend the training session on Sunday afternoon Please sign up for the session and leave your username
and password on the sign-up sheet in my office. PLEASE DON'T MISS IT!

I will be leaving by 5:30 on Friday, so please make sure ALL of you have signed up for the short
training session and left your access information by that time. For questions, please email or call me at
ext, 323.

Although I understand all hate last minute surprises, I have to raise a red flag in this particular situation.
As you may recall, there was a network outage early this week, and currently we are falling behind
schedule. At this time we don't know how long this fix will last without causing any additional
problem. My director, Kevin Farr, reported the detailed situation and potential risks to the Chief
Information Officer, and this morning they reached the decision that this issue should be handled as a
number one priority and the permanent fix must be put in place ASAP. Any work that may impact the
resolution of this issue has to be put off until the root cause is identified and a satisfying solution gets
implemented.
Therefore, unfortunately the new security system installation cant be performed this weekend. I advise
you to re-schedule the installation for the beginning of next month so that network engineers have
enough time to troubleshoot the issue. Any time before then, you can complete the training session for
everybody. That way, it won't impact your schedule too much. Im sorry for any inconvenience and will
keep you updated. For any questions, please let me or Kevin know.

Dear Mr. Keller,
As my electric kettle watch (model X14Z) was clearly in need of repair. I recently took it to Kitchen

Following are the charges billed by the service center :
Parts : New Coil: $10
New Cord: $15

Subject. The conference in Vancouver

Dear Andre,
Regarding the trip to the conference in Vancouver. I have looked for flights on the Internet and found a
few possibilities. You had indicated that you wanted to fly to Vancouver but that might not be the best
plan. Although it is a cheaper flight, we'd then have to take a ferry to Victoria, which would take a long
time. Id prefer to fly directly to Victoria. Also, the morning flight would be ideal. We would have time in
the afternoon to see the city before the conference starts the next day. Please let me know what you prefer.
Please see the attached flight schedules.

We also need to reserve hotel rooms. The conference organizer informed me that the Blue Sea Inn does
not have rooms left until the beginning of August. It is very disappointing because to stay at the same
hotel where the conference is being held would be very convenient for us. However, there are other
options. Vivian Hotel and Squall Hotel are within walking distance. If they are full, there is the Blue Nose
Hotel. Would you arrange a hotel room for us? The hotel phone numbers are on the conference web site.
Well have to reserve 5 days. The conference is from August 6 to 11, but we should try to arrive in
Victoria on August 5 and leave on August 12.
Best Regards,
Brandon Tremblay

Unmarried Women Becoming Homeowners

An increasing number of single women are buying their own homes, according to industry experts. By
contrast, the figures for unmarried men buying houses or apartments show no increase. What is behind
this trend? I put the question to analysts at the Real Estate Institute, who came up with the following
observations:

Women no longer seek marriage and a homemaking role as their first priority, but want a , stable job or
career instead, and this puts them in a position where they can own a home independently.
Single men are no longer pressured to "settle down," which traditionally means getting a stable job with
a career path and then getting married and buying a house. They tend, therefore, to be less likely to have
stable jobs
Women are increasingly better qualified and in many areas have surpassed men. This enables them to
obtain better and more highly paid jobs.
Women seem to be more capable of seeking good advice and completing the formalities of obtaining a
mortgage.
Experts at the institute expect the trend to continue, as home ownership provides financial and emotional
security for women who are not yet ready to seek a "partner for life."

Questions 164-167 refer to tile following information.
ADDICTED TO COMPUTER GAMES?
WHY DON'T YOU TRY FISHING?
HERE ARE FIVE REASONS WHY!

ALAN SIMPSON
Our special correspondent

According to health and exercise specialists, computers are becoming a serious threat to the health and
general well-being of a large portion of our society. Dr. Alan Parsons, of the University of Technology,
claims that a kind of "nerd syndrome.' is sweeping through our society, and it's having serious effects on
people's physical and psychological health plus carry-over effects on society itself.
Computer game fanatics easily become absorbed in games, lose track of their responsibilities, and suffer
from aches and pains associated with long periods of sitting. not to mention eye-strain.
And the solution? In a light-hearted weblog entry Dr. Parsons suggested that everything can be solved
by... fishing! As a countermeasure to computer games, fishing. apparently, has everything to recommend.
Here's why:
Computer screens are two-dimensional and don't move. Staring at a computer screen is an
unnatural fixation that guarantees sore eyes. Fish, on the other hand, move in three dimensions.

At best, computer games provide only a simulation of the real world. It is therefore impossible to
get a genuine sense of accomplishment no matter how well you play or how many points you
score. In fact, your need for accomplishment will be continually frustrated.

Fish never suffer from bugs, glitches, or gremlins. When you go fishing, you can never be e-
bombed, stalked, or spammed. You'll never have to reset or reconfigure a fish.

No matter how exciting a computer game is, you still know pretty much what's going to happen.
But with fishina, you never can tell!

No matter how complicated a game is, it is never as complex as reality. Computer games can be
mastered, but you'll never be an absolute master in the real world. That's where the real
challenges are!

November 27
Dear Tammy,

How are things with you? I've now established Karen Jones & Associates (KJA), an independent
consulting practice that leverages my proven strengths in strategic planning, people development, creating
and improving processes, and brand marketing. 1 work extensively with consumer product companies and
also now with industries that are regrouping due to a merger or major change in their competitive
situation. I help them manage the pressure to achieve more in their marketplace by realizing more out of
the people and resources they have. What they say is of unique value to them is my expertise at creating
new links between marketing, culture, and talent. This makes a company more efficient and successful.

I'm really excited about how I can help companies address their business problems with what I do. I
would love to get your input. I'm interested in your thoughts as to who in your circle could benefit from
learning about what I do. You don't need to find out if they are hiring or have a definite need. I'm just
interested in having a conversation with them to learn more about their marketing challenges and HR
concerns and to share with them some innovative ways I've helped other companies achieve the most in
those areas.
If this sounds interesting, I'd appreciate your linking me to people you know. I will call you in a few days
for a quick catch-up conversation. In the meantime, I've attached an information sheet about KJA and its
practice areas. Please freely forward it now and any time to business contacts you think could be
interested in knowing about this. Thanks, and I'm looking forward to catching up with you. .

Questions 196-200 refer to the following article and letter.

Cross-cultural Communication in Business Negotiations
Business Weekly by Dr. Rod Steiner November 2006
The importance of effective cross-cultural communication during business conferences or negotiations is
often unappreciated. And yet it is not jUSA the immediate outcome of the negotiation which is at stake
but also the possibility of a positive, ongoing business relationship.
Here's a simple example: "don't mix business and pleasure," we say, thinking ourselves to be efficient and
"virtuous." But trying to negotiate with that attitude in some other cultures may well cause consternation
in your host. This in turn will result in cross-cultural irritation and may well put future relationships under
a cloud. So, the first rule should be to study the culture of the people with whom you are going to
negotiate.

Dear Dr. Steiner,
I read your article "Cross-cultural Communication in Business Negotiations" with a great deal of interest.
I am a postgraduate language/business student at the University of Adelaide, and I have also had some
experience living and studying in Japan.
You are absolutely right when you highlight possible "cross-cultural irritation". In our culture, we would
never associate business transactions of any type with drinking alcohol and going to nightclubs. However,
that's more or less the normal way of doing things in Japan.
I hope to specialize in this area of study - I mean, in cross-cultural communication - and that's why I have
chosen also to study some foreign languages. If you have any suggestions for further reading, could you
please let me know?
Thanks for your attention.

A Double Dose of Data
While many big pharmaceutical firms are ailing, IMS Health, which measures the industry's vital
statistics, is in great shape. IMS is the leading supplier of research on the world's $550 billion
prescription-drug market, tracking everything from broad industry trends to how many prescriptions
for a particular drug a particular doctor in America wrote last week. IMS' dominance was so great

Eventually IMS prevailed.
With $1.6 billion in revenues last year, IMS's dominant market position has made it an attractive
takeover target. On July 11th, VNU, a Dutch market-research firm, made its move, announcing its
acquisition of IMS for $7 billion dollars. For IMS, the deal will move it closer to the consumer.

TRUNG TM O TO NGOI NG 24H / 0963 236 296 READING TEST

Many fire alarms have been set off by burnt or smoky food. Please be attentive to your culinary
activities. Do not prop your door open while cooking as it can cause hall smoke detectors and the
whole building's alarms to go off. Due to the serious nature of fire safety, we have instituted a $50
fine for persons who activate building-wide alarms when window ventilation would have prevented
the incident.

If your cooking sets off the building's alarms:

1. Notify the building's Information Center to alert the staff of the situation. This will help the Fire
Department locate the source of the alarm, and will shorten the time the lire bells ring.

2. Exit the building according to the procedures outlined in the resident handbook. Remember to
dress appropriately to brave the outdoor elements. Also, you must exit using one of the lire
stairwells: All elevators become immediately inoperable once the alarm sounds.

If you do not report the cause and your apartment is found to be the source of an alarm, you may be
tined considerably. Please also remember that open flames and candles are not permitted in Sansom
Place and that halogen lamps must be handled with safety and kept away from curtains.

Police seek high bail for repeat hike thief
By Andrew Whitney
September 23, 2006
City police arrested a man whom they called a recurrent hike thief Wednesday with the help of local
citizens.

Around 2:05 p.m., 71-year-old Brian Housman saw a man using bolt-cutters to attempt to cut
through a cable-style hike lock that was being used to secure a hike at the entrance a City Hall.

Housman immediately called police, hut the would-be thief had tied the scene. He left the bike
behind. along with its severed lock cable. Because the hike was not registered with the city, officers
stationed a security guard at the scene to await the owner's return.

When the bike owner -- a local university student -- returned about an hour later. The bike in
question was a black Giant bike worth about S 150. police took his statement. Meanwhile. an off-
duty security guard spotted a man actilli2, suspiciously near a hike rack in the parking tot complex
by Kelly Drive.

TRUNG TM O TO NGOI NG 24H / 0963 236 296 READING TEST

The man matched the description from the earlier attempted theft given by Housman. The off-duty
guard recognized him as William Dammer, 30, of the SW block of North Taylor Street in
Philadelphia's Fairmount neighborhood.

The same guard had taken down Dimmers name for bike Melt several months earlier. In fact,
Dammer had been arrested numerous times for similar crimes. He was out on I .1..e awaiting trial in
another case.

In response, police officials have submitted a "high-bail request" to the Philadelphia District
Attorney's Office in an attempt to keep the suspect jailed until a trial. Such requests are normally
reserved for more serious crimes, but Police Captain Joseph Fischer said that given the repetitive
nature of the crimes, it was justified in this case.

Dear Bethany,

It was lovely to meet with you last Friday afternoon. Our discussion over the future of Holden
Industries was very productive and cleared up many financial concerns I had about our pending
merger. I have spoken with all staff and broken the news about Franklin Enterprises' acquisition of
Holden.

I will be busy all next week meeting with clients and letting them know one by one the future of
Holden Industries, but we should schedule another lunch meeting to discuss other aspects of the

14

merger including employee standing and benefits. I will be in contact with you before Thursday, but
if you have any pressing issues, please feel free to give me a call.

Also, on Friday, you mentioned that you sent a box of your business cards to our office, but my
secretary has informed me that it has yet to arrive. If it is not delivered by tomorrow, I request that
at least 20 cards be directly sent over to my office before 5pm by a personal messenger. It is
important that I have them ready for our clients.

I look forward to meeting you again.

Dear George,

Thank for your email yesterday. Our lunch meeting on Friday was indeed constructive in laying out
some fundamental guidelines for our merger. I was happy to have the chance to meet you
personally.

My staff informed me that the box of my business cards was returned unopened, so I have sent one
of our interns to your office to deliver the box this morning. I am pleased to hear that we will be
meeting again shortly, since we do have more to discuss in regards to Franklin Enterprises
acquisition policies and the welfare of your current staff.

My schedule is open this coming Friday between the hours of 11 and 3 so if you are available. I
think it would be wise for us to meet before your client meetings. I will be awaiting your call
sometime soon, and hope that you receive all the needed materials.

Gaz International Sells Its Siberian Oil Operations to Local Company
ZURICH - Yevgeni Stai, a mid -sized Russian oil company, has bought the Siberian oil and gas
operations of Zurich-hased Gaz International. While no official figures have been released by either firm,
the deal is believed to wui th in the vicinity of $145 million.
Until recently, Gaz International had been seeking to expand its exploration and refining operations, but it
has reportedly been frustrated by local regulatory bodies. Gaz International shares rose by 1/0 as news of
the sale filtered into the media.
Yevgeni Star, which has some cross-share holdings with large industrial corporations in related and
unrelated fields, notably in the energy and shipbuilding sectors, will become one of Russian's leading
players in the vital strategic area of energy supplies.
Explaining the reasons for the sale, Gaz International CEO Fritz Faschier told reporters yesterday, "Our
board of directors believes that this is the ideal time to consolidate our operations by concentrating on less-
risky investments while at the same time boosting our interests in research and development. I mean, in
particular, research into alternative fuels and energy sources. I have no doubt that this deal is in the
interests of both parties."
It is known that the deal includes significant technology transfers. A team of Gaz International engineers
and administrators will train Yevgeni engineers in the operation of exploration and extraction technology
developed by the international giant.
Yevgeni Star operators were also keen to acquire Gaz International's license to explore and develop
northern oil fields until 2015. The current production of 10,000 barrels a day is expected to at least double
over the next 5 years.
Due to the complex nature of legal arrangements surrounding the transfer of licenses and technological
information, the deal is not expected to be sewn up before January of next year. Approval for the license
transfer must be negotiated with Russian authorities while several major Swiss banks will vet the financial
arrangements and the details of technology transfer.

Re: faulty print cartridges

Dear Madam or Sir
On a recent visit to your store, I purchased a box of Onyx Print Cartridges for our 3 printers. As you are
well aware, fast and high-quality printing is essential in any business, big or small, these days. You can
imagine our disappointment when, after installation, we found that the cartridges were faulty, either in the
feed mechanism or in the ink itself. When we examined the packages, we discovered that all three
cartridges had passed their use-by date.
However, when I returned them to your store, I was refused free replacement cartridges as the receipt had
unfortunately somehow been misplaced. This was extremely disappointing to me, as I am a long-term
customer of your store. Am I not to be trusted? The cartridges were clearly expired.
I have since bought cartridges elsewhere, and I have no intention of returning to your store. But I wanted
to express my dissatisfaction to you, and I hope that you will examine your policy on returns.

Thank you,

Questions *169-172 refer to the following memo.

From: Erica Fulton, Operations Assistant
To: Sales Department Employees
Subject: August Sales
Date: September 7

This is Erica Fulton from the vice president's office. I would like to congratulate everyone in the sales
department for making August our best month yet this year. We sold a record number , of one-bedroom
homes last month, which helped bring our total sales to $4,845,860! In fact, over $2.5 million of this
came from sales of one-bedroom homes alone. As you know, sales of one-bedroom homes for the
previous month came to just $1.8 million, and our total sales added up to $4.3 million. From this
comparison you can see why we're so delighted with the results from August!

This achievement is particularly remarkable considering the current downturn in the housing market.
Many of our competitors have had to cut their staffs and scale back operations. Our numbers, on the
other hand, remain strong.

Race Too Close to Call

With the election for mayor of New Hamburg set for next Tuesday, both candidates are busy making
their final arguments to voters.
The most recent polls show neither candidate with a clear lead. The official New Hamburg Area
Political Poll reported that 48.1% of voters surveyed will vote for Janet Fetters, while 47.5% will
choose Rodney Grunau. The difference between these -figures is within the poll's margin of error.
This campaign has focused primarily on the issue of taxes. "Janet Fetters is what this town needs right
now," said Charles Hodges, a New Hamburg small-business owner. "She's going to lower sales taxes,
and that's going to help local businesses like mine compete with the large corporations that are opening
stores in the area."
Supporters of Grunau, on the other hand, say that social programs are more important than lower taxes.
According to town resident Lisa Gutierrez, "Something needs to be done about the homeless problem
in New Hamburg. We have to work together, with the help of our local government, to make sure every
citizen of this town has a place to live. And lowering taxes isn't the way to do that."
With the numbers this close, the candidates' activities in the next few days vill be very important. Both
have scheduled large public speeches over the weekend.

Due to recent personnel losses in the financial division, several of my teams are now shorthanded. They
are facing many deadlines in the coming weeks, so we do not have enough time to hire additional help.
Therefore, I am asking for volunteers to assist us in certain areas.

In particular, the company budget team needs someone to proofread the annual budget report and make
sure it doesn't contain any minor errors. It is due to be sent out to our shareholders a week from
tomorrow. This is our top priority at the moment.

Another role that needs to be filled is on the financial planning team. They are giving a seminar to
some potential investors next week and they need someone to help them with the preparations. This
work will mainly involve setting up the conference room and helping entertain the investors on the day.
If you have the time to help either of these teams with their duties, please contact me immediately at
office extension 45 or by email at shadi_harbeh&b.com.

We in the financial division appreciate your help.

Gearing Up for Internet Media Conference
BRUSSELS - Entrepreneurs, investors, and technology analysts are eagerly awaiting the 4th annual
European Internet Technology Forum (EITF) here next week. In the last three years, it has become the
most important showcase for i I groundbreaking Internet technologies on the continent.
This year, everyone will be watching Enrique del Alamo, founder of the Spanish company Phone
Online. Its services include free international long-distance calls over the Internet. Mr. del Alamo says
the company already handles over 3% of all such calls worldwide. Now, he is expected to announce the
introduction of a new service. Analysts have not been given II much information about it, but Phone
Online spokesperson Staci Kim has suggested it will allow users to place calls to cell phones around
the world in addition to land lines.
Other participants at this year's forum will include the president of the Internet solikvare producer
Netwise, Mariska Olin, and American technology expert Dennis Aldrich. Over 1,000 representatives

from European technology journals are also on the guest list. Investors in attendance will have g[eat
opportunities to conduct research on the countless startup -firms that will be there.
Some see the EITF as evidence of a European surge with the potential of overtaking the US's leading
position in this industry. Others feel that even if this happens, it will not be for many years. But one
thing is sure: the EITF has become the place to be for investors interested in discovering the next super-

Dear Ms. Woodward:

The Springfield Consumers' Association recently received numerous complaints about food safety at
Elroy's Burgers' Johnson Street outlet. Individual diners reported several incidents of possible food
poisoning after eating at this location last week. Werecommend that you investigate these claims in a
prompt and efficient manner.

Because this is the first time Elroy's Burgers has been implicated in a food safety problem, we have
decided to issue you a warning. However, if there is a recurrence of this incident, we will contact the
Regional Health Board immediately and inform them of our concerns.

Betty Windsor
Chairperson, Toronto Consumers' Association

Springfield, Toronto

Dear Ms. Windsor:

We would like to thank you for your concern about the recent food safety issues at Elroy's, and for the
appropriate way in which you handled the situation. We are pleased that you exercised good judgment
by not involving the health board in this issue.

Of course, the food poisoning incident in question was very unfortunate, and we have generously
compensated the customers who were affected. Customer's health is our primary concern, so we can
assure you that this was a one-off incident.
We conducted an investigation into the problem and established that it was a case of employee error.
On Tuesday, June 1, the workers in the distribution warehouse were negligent, leaving, two boxes of
beef out of the refrigerator for too long. This meat was then distributed to Elroy's Burgers on Johnson
Street, where the customers were affected.
We are taking action to make sure this type of error is never repeated. From now on, we will monitor
all our ingredients from the supplier's processing plant through to the restaurant, ensuring that it
remains refrigerated and fresh at all times. We will also introduce our own new food safety inspections
which will be implemented in all our outlets across the country.

Subject: A favor

Dear Mr. Gannon,

I'm sorry to ask you at the last minute, but would you be able to help me out on Friday?
I'm registered for a seminar about Darby Inc.'s new marketing concept. Unfortunately I won't be able to
attend because the executives at United Sports Equipment have scheduled an urgent meeting with me
on Friday. The United contract is extremely important for our company so I cannot afford to miss this
meeting. I was wondering if you might be able to go to the seminar instead of me. I've already checked
with your manager, Ms. Wilson, and she says that you should be available on Friday.
All you would have to do at the seminar would be to collect any handouts and take a few notes. Darby
Inc. has recently adopted a very innovative strategy which we are considering implementing.
It is going to be held downtown in the Compton Building on Friday, November 17, starting at 9 a.m. If
you're happy to fill in for me, I'll call the coordinators and let them know you will be there on my
behalf.
I would really appreciate your help.

October 20 2006
Mr. Joe Fernandez
1385 Midland Ave.
Detroit, Michigan

Dear Mr. Fernandez,

As the president, I am proud to announce that this Friday marks the 30th anniversary of our long and
successful running country club. This, of course, calls for a night of celebration. And for this reason, we
have reserved the Grand Hall at the Falcon Hotel this Friday at 7 p.m. for a night of fine dining and
dancing.
On this special evening, the newest members of our club will get an opportunity to listen to the thoughts of

6
TRUNG TM O TO NGOI NG 24H / 0963 236 296 Reading Test
our older members and exchange ideas in an informal atmosphere. The newest members, who will be
carrying on our tradition, should hear what the older members have to say.
Further, the food will be superb. I've had a chance to dine at the hotel several times in the past in other
functions, and it was the food that convinced me to hold our event there. I am quite certain that all of our
members will share my feeling. Anyhow, I am looking forward to this Friday when all of our members can
let loose and have some fun.
Therefore, this is a letter officially to invite you and your spouse or significant other to join us on this
memorable evening.
Please let us know if you can't attend.
Yours sincerely,
Jeff Connelly

Questions 156-159 refer to the following guidelines.

"HOMESTAY NETWORK" STUDENT GUIDELINES
On arrival at your new home:
Try to remember the names of your host family. If unsure about how to address them, it is okay to ask
how they would like to be called. For example, if it is impolite in your country to call someone elder by
their first name, ask if it's okay to add Mr. or Mrs. in front of their names. Some Americans do not like to
be addressed this way because it makes them feel old.
Show your family that you are grateful for being your host. But do not give expensive gifts. It is,
however, considered appropriate to bring inexpensive handcrafts from your country or a small gift for the
children of the host family.
Your host family will be curious to know more about you. Bring photos of your family and friends to
share with them. This is also a great way to break the ice with them.
After you get settled, your host family will help you make a call to your parents to assure them that you
have arrived safely.
After you've had dinner, you may ask the host family to be excused early. They will be fully aware of the
fact that you might be jetlagged, so feel free to ask them.
On your first day of school:
On your first day of school, your host family will take you to school and help you with the necessary
registration paperwork.
Your host family will also make sure that you know your way to and from school. They will also teach
you how to use public transportation.
When traveling alone," you should at all times carry a map and the phone number of your host family.
In case you are lost and cannot get in touch with your host family, you can contact the "Homestay
Network".

Dear Ms. Rogers,
As I'm sure you are aware, our company has been organizing conventions, festivals, and other large
corporate events for the last fifteen years, and in fact we are leaders in the field. We have relied on Ultra-
Ergonomic Furniture for purchase and rental supplies of high-quality furniture for that entire period, and
we've never had any cause for complaints with regard to your services.
I am writing to you personally to ask a special favor. We recently made an order with your company for the
supply of rental furniture that includes chairs, tables, partitions, and lecterns for an auto show (see order no.
11-35698A). Unfortunately, a serious error was made. In fact the exposition begins one week earlier than
indicated on the order form. The starting date is actually July 7. I would appreciate it very much if you
could try to do everything you can to ensure that our order be delivered to us on that date. Also, if possible,
I'd like to add 20 Pop-up displays on top of our original order.
I realize that this is a big favor to ask, but on the basis of our long-term business relationship, I hope that
you will be able to find a way.
I'm really sorry for any inconvenience. Please contact me soon.
Yours sincerely,

Dear Mr. Robinson,

Thank you for your letter. I was surprised, and of course concerned, that you find yourself in this
unfortunate situation. And of course I will do my best to help you. Your company has been one of our best
clients since we began operations in 1978.
Anyway, I personally took a trip down to our warehouse this morning to have a closer look at our stock to
see if we have all the things you need for your convention which I believe is from July 7 to July 14. I
am happy to say that we will be able to provide you with everything you originally requested. However; as
for the additional request you made, it won't be possible because we have already rented them out to
another client during that week.
My suggestion is that you come down to my office to discuss other possibilities. I can take you down to our
warehouse, and you can look at our inventory. So, please call me soon to arrange a time.

Vacation Request Memo

To: Sally Benson, Supervisor, Human Resources
From: Mary Black Date: January 5, 2007
Re: Vacation Request - for January 25 - February 8, 2007
Sally
This is a memo to give you advance notice of my request for my upcoming vacation days of January 25-
February 8.
As written in the vacation policy, I am providing ample notice of my requested days. So hopefully, these 2
weeks will be okay to be away from the office. We are planning a family reunion which had been planned
for the last couple of years.
I know that I have just recently joined the company and normally would need to wait until my probationary
period is over before taking any vacation days. However, as you may recall, this request for some advance
days was discussed and agreed to in our negotiation meetings in late November.
Thank you for your understanding. I will make sure that my work is covered to avoid any disruption in my
projects.

Questions 166 170 refer to the following article.
Local Company Builds Gym
Ask any health professional and they will tell you that the key to good physical and mental health
is to eat a balanced diet, get plenty of rest, and exercise regularly. Alarmingly, a recent study
conducted by the Institute of Balanced Living(IBL) revealed that the average person consumes
some form of fast food at least twice a week, sleeps less than 6 hours a night, and exercises less
than once a week. IBL said this is quite a dangerous situation for the nations health.
In order to teach its employees to adopt healthy lifestyle habits, the popular software company,
MegaWare, has built a gym in its office building, and is hoping all employees will use the
facilities at least three times a week. To encourage the employees to take advantage of the gym,
the company is offering a $200 monthly bonus to every employee that uses the gym more than
three times a week.
The company even developed a special program to keep track of the number 8 of times each
employee uses the gym. Last month every staff member was issued a special ID card, which the
employees must use to enter and exit the gym. Each time the card is used, the session is recorded
in the main database. The company also hopes to open an organic cafeteria in June 2008.

Attention all Club Members

The Highland Country Club regretfully informs all members that our pool will be closed from
July 15 to August 25. While fixing a broken pipe, maintenance workers found a major problem
with the filtration system. Unfortunately, this problem is quite complex and requires the work of
a plumbing specialist. Because its plumbers are unexpectedly busy at the moment, QuickFix
Plumbers, the only company that offers the service we need, will not be able to help us for
another two weeks. We are terribly sorry for the inconvenience, and are willing to refund the cost
of one month's club membership to all individuals who paid for the 3- month Summer
Membership.
Because we already offer a twenty percent discount to all members who sign up for the 1-year

To: Kathryn Hale <[email protected]>

From: Stacy Mott <[email protected]>
Subject: Budget proposal
Dear Ms. Hale,
After reviewing last year's budget figures, I would like to propose a few changes to this years
budget plan. If these changes are accepted, I predict that the company will reduce its operation
costs by approximately 40 percent. First, I noticed that the company allocated one fourth of its
total budget to purchasing office supplies. Of the office supplies that we purchase each year,
paper is by far the most expensive. I think that requiring all employees to print documents on
both sides of the paper will significantly cut down on costs. Second, the company currently
employs 200 people; however, only about 150 people are needed for the company to function
property. Therefore, I propose the company reduces its workforce by 50 people before the start of
the next fiscal year. ! realize that this second proposal may seem drastic, but according to my
estimates, if the company does not significantly cut costs by the end of December 2008, it will be
forced to file for bankruptcy.

Last month I purchased a used Capri 1025 from you. At first, the car seemed like a great deal,
especially with the $300 dollar discount I received. I bought the car because I have to travel a long
distance to work each day, and with gas being so expensive these days I needed a car that was
more fuel-efficient. You were right; the smaller car did save me about $30 in gas each week.
Unfortunately, after about two weeks, the Car started making a clanking noise if I went faster than
50 kilometers per hour. I took it to my mechanic, Smooth Rides, and had them evaluate the
problem. They determined that the entire engine would need to be replaced, due to a crack down
the middle of it. In total, the labor and engine parts will cost about $1,000. I assume that since I
only purchased the car a month ago, I am well within the 2-year limit to the guarantee and Als
Autos will cover the cost of the repairs. Please contact me at 852-321-6547 if you have any
questions.
Sincerely,
Floyd Baker

 Subject: Surcharge Dale: September 25, 2007
Hi Michael,
1 recently received an invoice for the products we purchased from your company in July. I noticed
that we were charged an additional SI00 dollars because our payment was two months overdue. I
would like to explain why we failed to make these payments, and hope that you will reverse the
charges immediately.
At the end of July, our department underwent restructuring and Brian Davies, our Finance
Manager, was asked to leave. Unfortunately, in the process of changing managers a few files were
misplaced, including the one containing all of our office supplies invoices. I hope you will accept
my request so that we continue doing business with your company in the future.
Sincerely,
Paul O'Reilly

Subject: Delivery Request
Dear Ms. Morris,
I am writing to inform you that the McGuiness Women's Foundation Luncheon, which was
scheduled to take place this Saturday at 3 p.m., has been postponed to Sunday at 2 p.m., due to
predictions of showers. Therefore, I would like to change the delivery time for the flower
arrangements we ordered. Would you be able to deliver the flowers either Saturday morning, or
between 2:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. Saturday afternoon? Also, if you choose to deliver the flowers
on Saturday afternoon, please do not take the flowers to the Club House; we will be hosting a
charity lunch for the Rotary Club at that time, and the area will be full of people. Instead, could
you please bring the flowers to the Maintenance building next to the botanical gardens? If you
can bring the flowers in the morning, just take them directly to the Club House as we originally
discussed. Please e-mail me immediately to confirm these changes.

Dear Mr. Hipster,
My name is Dr. Ivan Rigby, and I am a professor of Molecular Biology at Illinois State University
(ISU). I am writing on behalf of Melvin Tobin, who I believe would make an excellent candidate
for the Research Aide position your company is offering this summer.
Melvin is a junior at ISU. and for the last three years he has consistently received the highest
grades in his class. Last year, he submitted a research paper, "Mapping the Human Genome,"
which was published in The Scientist, one of the most prestigious science journals in the country.
Recently, Melvin was awarded the Scientific Research Award for his outstanding work in the field
of molecular research.
Despite his busy academic schedule, Melvin manages to find time to volunteer at the local
elementary school (teaching science of course!), and write for the campus newspaper, ISU News.
He is friendly compassionate, and hardworking, and he is destined for great things. I feel strongly
that this young man would be a great addition to your company.
Sincerely,
Dr. Ivan Rigby

August 20 Dr. Ivan Rigby

Department of Molecular Biology Dear Professor Rigby,
I would like to express my gratitude for the recommendation letter you wrote to Epson
Pharmaceuticals and I apologize for the lateness of this letter conveying my thanks.
I have learned more in my brief role as an Assistant Laboratory Technician than I have in all
three years at ISU. As you may have noticed, the company was unable to hire me for the position
that you recommended because it had already been filled, but I have really enjoyed working as an
assistant technician instead. I only have three more weeks before I return to ISU, but the
company has already.
They are offering me the position of Laboratory Technician and assigning me to work in the
division that researches medication for patients recovering from heart surgery. In addition to an
excellent salary, they are also offering me free housing on the Epson Campus, which is located
just three miles from Lake Michigan.
Despite recent allegations that the company is producing drugs that do not meet federal
standards, I feel this is a great opportunity to work for the largest pharmaceutical company in the
country. Thank you once again for helping me get this wonderful opportunity. I look forward to
attending your classes next semester.
Sincerely,
Melvin Tobin
