DOUBTS ON HEALTH BENEFRS' CLAIMS

Are health food bars really good for you? A recent analysis

by Diet and Health magazine failed to find any benefits in

health food bars. In fact many of the most popular bars proved to be

positively unh!lalthy, with high levels of fats. sugar, salt. pr!IS!lrvatives.

and other chemicals plus an inordinate amount of packagtng. Rather

than substituting a health bar for your breakfast or lunch, consumers

would be well-adv•sed to skip them completely. A balanced diet of

freshly-prepared food Is still the best, apparently!

161 . What is the main reason for writing this news?

~~To alert the public about a new health product (B) To report the find•ng of a stL>dy conducted by a magazine ":)To correct false information printed In an earl•er article

\D) To suggest some food for a heanhy breakfast

162. What does the article advise the consumers to do?

(A; Always eat breakfast 9) Gonsume less food

C) Stay away from health b<>rs (01 Read the labels carefully

163. What can be inferred from th-e article?

lA) Health bars will be taken off the store shelves. fBi Many health bars are found lo be Q~cesslvely wrapped. (CI M31'y people are subst•tuting at least one meal v11th health bars. 101 Health bars have all the nutr.ents a body needs.

Re: faulty print cartridges

Dea1 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 prin~ng is essential in any business, big or small. these days. You can Imagine our disappointment when, after installation, we found that the cartridges were fautty, 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 rece1pt had unfortunately somehow been misplaced. This was extremely disappointing to me, as I am a longterm customer of your store. Am I not to be trusted? The cartridges were clear1y 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.

MEMO

To: All staff Subject: Mandarin speaking staff

Mr. Wang, a very distinguished guest who manufactures and distributes red wines in China, wi II visit us in New York next Monday. Although Mr. Wang is well versed in written English, he has expressed concerns about his conversational skills since this will be his first visit to America.

As Great Wall Red Wine is a potential big buyer of our grape products, we want to make his trl p a memorable one. I would like to extend this Invitation to anyone who speaks Mandarin to assist Mr. Wang for the seven days when 11e is in town to resolve any language barriers and to avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings. I would prefer this person be a current employee of Sweety Grapes as he or she will have the added advantage of understanding our company's wor1<ing style and culture.

The job is simple. You will pick Mr. Wang up at the airport with some of our executives to welcome hif'll. You will serve as an interpreter during his visits and meetings in the office. We will also require your presence and assistance when we take him for meals and city tours during the weekend. For seven days, you may be required to perform social activities at night and on !he weekend. We hope that we can get someone from our team to assist us.

My sincere gratitude, Lucy Mayson {[email protected])

Dearr~s Mayson.

1 am sure lhat 1 can be of assistance II you stilluecd someone for the translation ~:x;lgnmP.nt. I am a U.S. cttlzo~. out my parents arc Chinese. Being a traditional Chinese family, M~nrlaml is usetl as our lloosehold language. 1 will be all right w'th conversational Cninese and most of the translation requirerrents except with

technical or special terminology, fo· which I wll need to refer to a dictionary.

182

I w.ll be availab'e 'or the whole next week with Ule exception of the neea to go on an onsite inspection on Wc:dncSI!ay. tam quite certain that t can reschedule that inspection If necessary. I will make myself availab'e

and open to meet any ol Mr. Wang;s scheduled actil('ties during his time with us.

But to my dismay, instead of a wonderful shOf)ping expenence. I

found the oromotlon ad not entirely valid 11nd a ooor custome< service store attendant

From the prrnted ad, twas led to belrevo that ""ery item in the s1D111 was 20% otl the regular price. Unf0f1uoately, I do scovered that ~e<ns fhal were on discount aP!lhd only 10 those that were labeled

v.ilh a "SALE' slld<flf in the store. In this case. not more than ten hem6 _. on sate. I thought lhls contmdlcted to llle ad published. I therefO<e chllltenged the store attendanl woth a copy of the ad I had brought To my surp<ise. twas told that the discount on aO Hems was not ~llcabte to the store on Hamson Street. t was then referred to the store manager after insisting that the ad mentlooed a nationwide ssle. The manager did not bother to resolve the issue but Insisted. with a very unwilling attitude, that the ed was a mistake! t left the store fuming withorrl A •Inola purch•••·

I have been a faithful customer of your store for n very long time, but the experlenoe I had. along W<th my encounter w.lh the staff at the st0111 on Hamson Street, is just not acceptlble.
