Helen Moon 2:20 P.M.
Sue, I was going over the checklist for the trade show. Have you had a chance to pick up those supplies yet?

 

Sue Sloane 2:24 P.M.
Actually, I found most of what we need in the supply room. The rest I will get on my way to the convention center tomorrow.

 

Helen Moon 2:25 P.M.
That's perfect. Could you see if there are any clipboards in the supply room? If not, can you also buy some on your way? We need two to hold questionnaires and two more for sign-up sheets for new customers.

 

Sue Sloane 2:27 P.M.
Not a problem. Anything else you need? Has anyone picked up our pamphlets from the print shop yet? I can get them if nobody has done that.

 

Helen Moon 2:28 P.M.
I was supposed to do it. I'd be grateful if you could do it.

 

Sue Sloane 2:29 P.M.
It isn't any trouble. The print shop is nearby Coulier Office Supplies, and that's where I'm getting the rest of the supplies. I'll bring them early so you can prepare to hand them out to participants as soon as the trade show opens. I'll be at the convention center for set-up by three o'clock.

To: Lou Barlow
From: J. Mascis
Re: Printer Toner Cartridges
Date: December 8

Dear Mr. Barlow,

Although we have never formally met, I have been working in your company for over eight years in the printing department. I would like to call your attention to the fact that there is a new resource for printer toner cartridges. Currently, we are spending about $15 for black toner cartridges and $25 for color cartridges. This is because we are buying them directly from the manufacturer. However, I have recently found an Internet dealer who can supply us with unlimited black cartridges for only $1.50 each and color cartridges for 2.50 each. If you are interested, perhaps we could talk about this in more detail at your convenience.

Sincerely,

J. Mascis
Print Shop Manager

20. What is the relationship between Mr. Barlow and Mr. Mascis?

Eagle Canyon City Park

Over the past month, there has been a sharp increase in reported sightings of raccoons in the open spaces of the park. The park rangers suspect the creatures are attracted by food scraps that are left—whether on purpose or accidentally—by visitors to the park. —[1]—. The city’s public health department does not want to encourage the raccoons to leave the wooded areas of the park as they can be carries of disease and pose a risk to visitors and their pets. —[2]—. With that in mind:

● Please do not leave any garbage in the park—either take it with you when you leave, or place it in the closed garbage bins that are provided throughout the park.

● If you see raccoons, do not approach them or give them food as they are wild animals with sharp claws and can be dangerous when they feel frightened.

—[3]—. Along with this, we will be holding volunteer park cleanups on the last Saturday of each month. Our next one is scheduled for June 27. Anyone interested in taking part should report to the park visitor center to register. —[4]—. All participants will be provided with protective gloves and vests, water, and a light lunch.

23. Why was the announcement written?
24. What is NOT stated about raccoons?
25. What will volunteers be given?
26. In which of the positions marked [1], [2], [3], and [4] does the following sentence best belong? "We will accept registration forms up to two days prior to the event."

Liam Morris 7:41 P.M.
I’ve wanted to go to one of their concerts for such a long time. Their new album is amazing.

 

Pedro Luther 7:42 P.M.
I know, right? I tried to purchase it at several offline stores, but it sold out very quickly.

 

Liam Morris 7:43 P.M.
How much was the ticket?

 

Amanda Meester 7:44 P.M.
I purchased a general admission ticket for $90.

Wow. I got mine for $120. Which Website did you use?

 

Amanda Meester 7:47 P.M.
I have a membership at Ticket Legend, so I was able to get a discount.

 

Liam Morris 7:48 P.M.
Get out! Normally, concerts at Torzia Hall cost well over $100. Will I be able to get a discount if I sign up for a membership?

 

Amanda Meester 7:48 P.M.
Absolutely. The company also provides additional discounts for first-time users. You should definitely check it out.

 

Pedro Luther 7:50 P.M.
I think I’ll buy all my concert tickets from that Website from now on.

Thanks for the information, Amada!

Re: Appointment Cancellation

Mr. Walker,
I apologize for having to cancel our appointment last Friday at the last minute. There was some urgent business at another job site, and I had to attend to it personally. I hope that we can reschedule for sometime next week.
Also, in your last e-mail you asked for some different options with regard to materials and our turn-around time. The sample books I couriered to you last week are the standard wallpapers that we use - 1.75 meter-wide, printed. But we have also started using a new process with large, floor-to-ceiling rolls that produces a papered wall without seams. The papers are the highest grade, and most have silk highlights. As your project is a luxury apartment complex, these products may better suit your needs. This is a specialty process, requiring special equipment, and so there would be additional charges on top of our usual labor costs. Since you would be doing so many units in your building, perhaps we could offer you a discounted rate on the labor. I will discuss this possibility with our sales manager and let you know when we meet.
With regards to our turn-around time, using standard-process papers we would be able to complete the 15 units in one week. The seamless wallpaper application process makes use of a large roller mechanism; so, potentially, we could complete the work in 3 days. Again, I am sorry to cancel our appointment. Please let me know at your earliest convenience when you would like to reschedule. Thank you.

Sincerely,

Peter Lasco
Sales Rep,
All Walls, Inc.

Sylvie Depardieu,
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, I'm sure you're 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, I'm sure I don't 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.

Reading text:

John Mallet [3:45 P.M.] Hi, everyone. You'll be happy to know that management gave me approval to send some of our people to the career fair at Duluth University next month.
Janet Chan [3:48 P.M.] That's excellent news. A lot of students have probably heard of our company, since Go-C Tech is such a short distance from the campus.
John Mallet [3:52 P.M.] Exactly, however, our budget is limited, so we need to decide which departments should be represented. We can't send everyone.
Melissa Kovac [3:55 P.M.] My marketing team recruited quite a few new people just last month. You can leave me out.
John Mallet [4:00 P.M.] I'll keep that in mind. And I think the accounting department should participate. Management feels that they will need more help when our purchase of Stanfield Incorporated moves forward. I'll speak to Susan Edwards about it.
Peter Mercer [4:01 P.M.] I need to supervise product testing in the research and development department for the next few months. Can I send someone in my place?
John Mallet [4:03 P.M.] Of course. Who do you choose, Peter?
Peter Mercer [4:05 P.M.] Amy Lintan. She doesn't have a lot of experience, but she's quite knowledgeable about our department's needs.
John Mallet [4:08 P.M.] That's fine. Perhaps someone who has been employed for a shorter time can provide a valuable perspective on what it is like to join our company.

TO Mia Choi
FROM Pradeep Kumar
SUBJECT Possible marketing position
DATE January 14

Mia,

I was having lunch today with a colleague, Rupert Kim, who works in my company's marketing division. He said that two members of their team are leaving and that his supervisor is looking to hire two new employees. I immediately thought of you since I remembered that you were looking for a job exactly like this.

I spoke with the marketing manager, David Bradley, and told him a bit about your experience and current situation. He seemed quite interested and said you could give him a call at 555-3928 to talk about the job and possibly set up a meeting. He said that there have been a lot of applicants have the necessary educational qualifications for the position but few that fulfilled the other requirement. You should probably contact Mr. Bradley today. If he is interested, he will ask you to send a reference.

Dear Mr. Bradley,

I am sending this letter in regard to Mia Choi, as I understand you are considering her for a position in your marketing department at Sav-Tech. I would highly recommend Ms. Choi for such a role, as she has been an exceptional employee over the last six years at Headman Advertising Agency in Los Angeles.

I will miss working with her, but I understand this would be an excellent opportunity for her career. I'm sure you'll appreciate her as much as I have.

Sincerely yours,

Richard Morrison,
