Reading text:

Dear valued customer,

Our policy has been to provide customers with ground coffee when their coffee grinders undergo malfunctions. However, as more and more customers fail to remit their payment on time these days, we have determined to enforce a stricter policy in such cases.

Our new policy is effective as of September 3, 2007, and in details are as follows:

1. If a customer delays his or her payment for over 20 days and the machine does not work properly, we will stop supplying ground coffee. Instead, we will fix the unit, but the customer will be responsible for the expenses. Any payment related to these repairs will be reimbursed to the customer after he or she has remitted the unpaid balance in full.

2. A surcharge on accounts suspended for more than 60 days will be assessed.

Admittedly, this might sound a little extreme and may come as a surprise; nevertheless, we see no other alternative. As you know, we have always been committed to providing quality products and reliable service in order to meet your requirements. Without our patrons' cooperation and support, we are unable to continue to provide all of this.

In case of any inquiries concerning our new policy, please do not hesitate to contact us.

Date: Tuesday, Oct. 15
To: All employees
Re: Painting

This weekend, the office will be closed for painting, and no employees will be allowed in the building. Although official company policy discourages employees from working overtime hours from home, an exception will be made in this case. However, you should be sure to get prior approval for your overtime from your manager. Also, log on to the system from home when you start work, and remember to log off when you are finished. The painters will be here on Saturday morning, and they have requested that all office furniture be moved into the hallway. So, you are asked to leave work at 5:00 on Friday to give the maintenance staff a chance to rearrange the furniture. Your cooperation is appreciated.

Thank you.

MEMORANDUM

TO: All Staff
FROM: Phillip Christensen

As most of you are already aware, we will soon be undergoing a complete update of our office hardware. Much of our equipment is quite old and due for replacement this year. -[1]-. We will be upgrading our server as well as providing new PCs to everyone who has not received one in the past five years. In addition, new printer terminals will be stationed throughout the office. Many of you have also asked for new monitors. -[2]-. We regret that we were unable to authorize all requests as funding is limited.

If you are receiving a new computer, please make sure to download all the files you will need onto an external hard drive by Friday. This is important as the old equipment will be replaced over the weekend and will be inaccessible to staff from Monday.

-[3]-. The technicians hope to complete all the work on Saturday and Sunday. Should there be a delay, you will be notified. If you have any questions, call me at extension 115 or send me an e-mail at philchristensen@davenport.com.

-[4]-. Thank you for your cooperation.

34. What is the purpose of the memo?
35. What is NOT indicated in the memo?
36. According to Mr. Christensen, what are employees responsible for?
37. In which of the positions marked [1], [2], [3], and [4] does the following sentence best belong? "You should already have received an e-mail concerning your request if it was approved."
Questions 38 - 41:

Reading text:

Helen Gatineau [3:35] I'm sure you've all heard that we're going to be merging with Fresh Food Wholesalers at the end of next month. We will have a meeting to discuss transition plans next week. But in the meantime, I will try to answer questions you may have about the merger.
Leo Kinghorn [3:36] Everyone in the purchasing department is wondering how we will be affected by the change. Are there any firm details available?
Mimi Hanway [3:38] It's my understanding that administrative functions will be carried out in only one building for efficiency's sake. As a result, administrative personnel, including me, will be moving to the Fresh Food Wholesalers' building in the coming weeks.
Helen Gatineau [3:39] That's right. But, we are going to maintain separate warehouse facilities at their present locations.
Jude Mason [3:41] Any idea how that will change my routine?
Helen Gatineau [3:42] You'll stop at both facilities before taking your deliveries to the retail store, Jude. We'll hire additional warehouse workers to speed things up so you have time to visit both spots. They will help you load items.
Leo Kinghorn [3:45] You know, the workers at Fresh Food Wholesalers will probably need to take a health and safety seminar before they can handle meat. I believe that Fresh Food Wholesalers hasn't dealt in meat products yet.
Helen Gatineau [3:47] That makes sense. I'll arrange for instructors to visit as soon as possible.

38. What is the online chat mainly about?
39. What are some personnel required to do?
40. In what department does Mr. Mason most likely work?
41. At 3:47, what does Ms. Gatineau most likely mean when she writes, "That makes sense"?

TO: Quality Control and Packaging staff
FROM: David Briggs
DATE: July 22

Greetings,

I'd like to give you all some news on what is taking place in our department right now.

First of all, please welcome Laurie Kinsolver as our new office manager. Laurie comes to us by way of the accounting division, her home for the last twelve years. Laurie and I worked together there during my early days in the company, shortly after she joined the accounting area. She is an energetic colleague and a high competent manager. Laurie's first day with us here in the quality control and packaging department will be July 29.

We are very happy that Alfred Chen has agreed to continue to serve in an interim capacity as assistant coordinator of packaging until we are able to find a replacement for Lydia Parry. Alfred has helped the packaging department immensely this summer by preparing schedules, responding to e-mails, and entering material into the database in Lydia's place. We would have been lost without him. In the meantime, colleagues in the human resources division are working to fill Lydia's position. I will send out an update as soon as an offer is accepted.

Finally, please join me in congratulating Karl Wilson on his recent appointment as coordinator of quality control. I look forward to working with Karl in his new role.

Thanks,

David Briggs
Senior Vice President
Quality Control and Packaging
