Questions 6-9 refer to the following e-mail.

Date: January 2

From: Ken Hard

To: Jenny Kang

Subject: Ticket to Barcelona extension

Dear Jenny,

I purchased an open ticket, valid for one year, from your office on January 14, 2010

and was hoping to travel to Barcelona with that ticket. I have been delayed due to

work and cannot leave until the 31st of January 2011. I am under the impression

that a ticket can only be used within the 1 year time frame.

What I would like to know is if it is possible to extend the ticket for another 30

days. I really appreciate the service that you have provided in the past and if you

can help me with this matter it would be much appreciated. You can reach me at

435-2564 from 9:00 A.M. to 3:00 P.M., Monday through Friday, or through e-mail at

any time.

I have also seen your advertisement in this months edition of Fine Travel magazine.

It provides a special package for Hawaii, including round-trip airfare, luxury hotel

accommodation, complimentary breakfast, car rental from the airport with unlimited

mileage, guided tours to museums and attractions without extra charge. Does the

price include the airport tax? Actually, I thought I must be mistaken. The price was

unbelievably cheap, only $1,220 for three nights and four days. Is this a typo or is

this the real deal? Id like to get more details about the package. Please send me a

complete itinerary because I am definitely interested.

Thank you,

Ken Hard

Questions 171-173 refer to the following memo.

To: Investor Relations (IR) Team

From: Aaron, CEO, Coffee Beans

Subject: Recent valuations

Date: August 15th

Dear IR Team,

The stock market is unpredictable and most would say the prices are dictated by

emotion, not logic. We are not a tech company and, thus, tend to get lower

valuations. As a manufacturer and by no means the largest, it is reasonable for

Coffee Beans to be priced modestly.

Over the last six months, our stock price has not kept up with the general market.

While the index has increased 6%, we only increased 1% and are constantly below

the index on valuation. However, our cash earnings per share is healthy and we are

growing.

I am requesting that the IR department re-evaluate your strategy. We need to look

at our institutional ownership and do some road shows to promote the company. In

addition, I would like to see more analysts cover the company. Interviews with

financial newspapers need to be conducted as well. Finally, we need to monitor

websites to ensure that all information is correct.

Should you have any questions, feel free to contact me at anytime.

Best regards,

Aaron Lee, CEO

performance against the index?

(A) Roughly the same

(B) A little better

(C) Exactly the same

(D) Lower than the index

172. What does the CEO NOT want the IRteam to do?(A) Re-evaluate their strategy(B) Create websites to track the

newspapers

Questions 174-176 refer to the following e-mail.

To: Bill Evans

From: Jennifer Miles

Date: Monday, September 12, 10:34 a.m.

Subject: Promotion event

Dear Mr. Evans, Our recent sandal promotion was a huge success. The public

flocked to our stores and greatly exceeded our expectations. In fact, towards the

end of the month-long promotion we were forced to seek more supplies. We had

allotted 500 pairs of sandals for each of our 10 stores citywide, but by the

beginning of the third week we brought in another 100 pairs per store.

I was able to visit all of our stores over the course of the month and was excited

to see your staff working hard to promote all our lines of sandals. Also, the in-store

advertising was very eye catching without being over-the-top. I especially want to

bring your attention to Rick Smith at the Grand Mall store. I noticed him going out

of his way to effectively deal with customers in a friendly yet professional manner.

If I were you, Id keep my eye on him and not let him get away to any of our

competitors. I feel it would be a great loss to our company.

Again, you and your staff did a tremendous job on the sandal promotion. Im

hoping youll be equally as successful during our late fall/winter boot promotion.

Regards,

Jennifer Miles / Vice President

Questions 181-185 refer to the following e-mail messages.

To: Helen Conners, ICG Foods

From: Samantha Williams, FC Exporters

Subject: Order # TG 465 - Vidalia Onions

Date: November 21

As always, thank you very much for your business. I have sent four boxes of Vidalia

onions to your store in Wigan by National Courier yesterday. Unfortunately, we

could not send all seven boxes of Vidalia onions as per your order because you got

the last four boxes we had. Yours was the last shipment of the season from our

warehouse in Dalton.

This is the earliest that we have ever sold out. This is likely due to a recent article

published in Healthy Eating Monthly which featured the nutritional benefits of this

type of onion and that theye only grown in the Fairfax County area. Since then, we

have had an unprecedented number of orders. We are grateful for the attention and

have already begun plans to expand our fields to increase the yield for next season.

If you are still interested in receiving the three boxes of Vidalias we were unable to

ship, please let me know. A friend of mine in Danfield may have a few boxes

leftover, though he does charge slightly more than I do.

Thank you for continued patronage and best wishes to you.

warehouse. I will call you later today to discuss the payment and other details.

Questions 186-190 refer to the following news article and review.

Wine ShowThe Tri-State Wine Show exhibited some exciting trends in todays local wine world.

Recently, wineries have been focusing on healthier and more flavorful wines.

Wines from our local producers show how they have adapted to these market

trends. If the demand had not increased as sharply as it did, the pricier wines would

have never reached our market, said Ms. Cameron, the director of the show.

For many new entrants like Grosse Point, Pellans and Cavendish, this is an

opportunity to introduce their new higher quality wines to the market. Another

newcomer, Babcock Vines, who showed the healthier side of ice wines, was awarded

the Innovative Wine Prize, which was previously won by Gustavs, a 75-year-old

winery.

With close to 50,000 attendees, the Tri-State Wine Show was held in the Tate

Center, which has convention facilities in downtown Springfield.

Review of Grosse Point WineryIn operation for only four years, Grosse Point Winery has some very well established

white and red wines. The winery is well-known for its white wines, my favourite

being their No. 4, a delightful dessert wine. Two years ago, they began offering a

claret which will likely find its way onto many dinner tables.

My favorite after-dinner wine is their No. 6, a white wine that is neither too sweet

nor too dry. It an excellent choice for sipping after a big, heavy meal. However, if

red is more your taste, then reach for a bottle of their newly launched Grosse

merlot. This is a nice dry red wine full of fruity flavor.

186. What did Ms. Cameron imply about

local wineries?

(A) They have been growing grapes

for decades.

(B) It is difficult to produce new

wines.

(C) Their prices have been going up.

(D) Consumers are becoming less

interested in wine.

189. Which winery received an award at the

show?

(A) Gustavs

(B) Grosse Point

To: Kate Park

From: Alex Eastwood

Subject: Meeting

Date: August 3

Hi, Kate,

As you are aware, we have a staff meeting for events on the first day of every

month. The latest meeting was held 2 days ago from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m.

Just to inform you what was discussed in the meeting, Justin Kim told us he

wouldnt be able to participate in leading the seminar in September. Is it possible

for you to contact Miranda Jatis to ask her if she could do it?

Ive already had a talk with her, and Im pretty sure shell say yes. But if she says

she cant, please contact me right away.

And we determined to have the lunch extended but itll be held in the same place.

Please take care of the changes. And another question, would you be able to work

at the lunch event?

Best,

Alex
