Date : July 20
Dear Mr.Parker,
I am writing to withdraw my membership from your online languages courses.In your advertisement , you said
that if I purchase a course online , I can get another instructor's course free.In addition , I was told that I would
receive three textbooks free of charge.I paid $100 through my credit card and I chose the class with Instructor Kevin
Smith.
I was very excited to receive all three textbooks.I was greatly disappointed , however , when I opened the
books.I found out that the textbooks are not for the class that I purchased.Actually , I should download the textbooks
and print out them by myself.Since I don't have a printer in my house , it is very inconvenient for me. I was also
frustrated with your free course which was recorded 8 years ago.You never explained this when I called you about
the class.
I also got the impression that I would get a book certificate that I can use to purchase books and other materials
from you.I did not find a book certificate in the package.I wonder what happened to all the guarantees you have
indicated in your advertisement.Please let me know what action you will take to correct this mistake.I hope to hear
from you in a week's time; otherwise , I think I am entitled to receive a full refund.

From:andrew@safenet.com

Subject: Collaboration

Dear Mr.Baker,

My apologies for the late reply as I was away from the office to attend the WISC (World Internet Security
Conference) in New York.

With regard to your proposal of a possible collaboration between Security Systems and SafeNet to co-develop a
new Internet security product,! find it somewhat interesting.The reason is because as you may well know SafeNet is a
company that specializes in Internet security appliances,especially in the area of firewall applications and we are
currently looking for some new technology that could add to our protection on a network level. Therefore,! was glad
to receive an email message from you.I know that with Internet security protection on both the application and
network level,we could introduce a phenomenal product by working together.

After talking to some of my colleagues,! learned that Security Systems has done some outstanding research and
development in the area of Internet security on the network level,especially in host prevention systems.We currently
have a working relationship with a vendor doing similar protection systems on Linux-based systems.This does not
necessarily imply that we cannot work together with Security Systems.In fact if everything works out,we are more
than willing to switch over and let you handle all the work in the future.

Please send me a roadmap of our product development,a business proposal with details of possible
collaboration,and also full product details with technical specifications and a brochure to start with.

I'm looking forward to your reply.

Questions 169-172 refer to the following letter.

Dear Ms.Amanda Parker,

Thank you for your interest in attending the 63rd annual Southeast Regional Salesperson Conference, to be held
July 12 through July 14 in the ballroom of the Regency Hotel. Enclosed is a registration form for you to fill out and
send back to reserve a seat.

Please note that the registration cost has increased to $150 from last year's fee of $120. The change is in
response to a sharp rise in registrations last year. If we see the same percentage of increase this year, we will not have
enough space to accommodate everyone, so it was felt that the higher fee would keep the number of registrants within
reason.

The deadline for registration is June 15. Please have your form postmarked by that date to participate in regular
registration. After June 15, an additional fee of $40 will be applied for expedited registration. And, as always, all
registration fees include a non-refundable $50 deposit to protect against cancellation. By affixing your signature to
the registration form, you agree to abide by these and all other terms governing the Southeast Regional Salesperson
Conference, which can be found on the back of the form.

Sincerely yours,

Maxine Stinson,Conference Organizer

169. Why did Ms.Stinson send this letter?

New Tasteemix Flavor a Big Hit

By Deepanjali Jaddoo

PORT LOUIS (2 February)- Three weeks ago, Helvetia Food Industries (HFI) announced the introduction of a
new flavor of its popular Tasteemix breakfast cereal- coconut cream. - [ 1 ] - . HFI also announced that the
product would be available for a limited time only, sending Tasteemix enthusiasts from Argentina to Zambia into a
buying frenzy.

All six major grocery distributors here in Mauritius confirmed that they had received a large supply of coconut
cream Tasteemix shortly after the new product was introduced on 8 January. - [ 2 ] - . Both wholesalers expected
it to be gone by the end of the day.

"HFis current campaign is reminiscent of the one it waged four years ago when it introduced its strawberry-
cinnamon cereal," said Bina Perida, a professor of marketing at Port Louis Business College. "Then, as now, HFI
announced a product as being offered for a limited time only, resulting in that item' s rapid disappearance from
shelves in grocery stores across the globe." - [ 3 ] - .

On 5 April, HFI's accountants will review the company's first-quarter earnings. Based on the initial sales,
market watchers are confident that HFis expectations will be met. - [ 4 ]

173. What is indicated about Tasteemix cereals?

(A) They are distributed internationally.

(B) They are made in a factory in Mauritius

(C) They are HFI's main source of revenue.

(D) They were first marketed four years ago.

174. What is reported about HFI?

 (A) It has no more Tasteemix cereal in stock.

(B) It hired a consulting firm to do its accounting.

(C) It expects this year's earnings to be better than last year's.

(D) It previously offered a product for a limited time only.

175. In which of the positions marked [ 1 ] , [ 2 ] , [ 3 ] , and [ 4 ] does the following sentence best belong?
"Yet as of yesterday morning, only V endibles and F oodiverse reported that they had any of the item left in stock."

(A) [l]

(B) [2]

(C) [3]

Dear Mr.Fetler,

Thank you for sending us good quality products as usual.However,! found a few problems on the invoice.The
invoice shows that we are being billed for 500 XE557 hinges,but our record shows that we ordered only 50
hinges.That is in fact what we received.And we ordered 500 washers (WC 50),but they were neither delivered nor
indicated on the invoice.When I talked with you over the phone last week,you said you had them in stock.So I assume
that you still have washers at your store.

We need washers soon to begin our construction project next week.I am attending a 198 client meeting in
Texas,so I am not able to see if your remaining products will be delivered to us correctly.Please contact my
assistant,Dr.Hayam Curly when you arrive.We will submit full payment once we receive the remaining products and

the associated shipping fee.If you have any questions about this matter,you can call me at 365-6589.Thank you.

Sweet Occasions

HOME MENUS REVIEWS LOCATIONS

I was sad that Taste of Italy closed- I had wanted them to make my wedding cake. So, I was excited when their
former pastry chef opened Sweet Occasions in the Plaza Shopping Center. He made our cake, and it was perfect! Our
guests kept commenting on how much they liked the cake. I would recommend Sweet Occasions to anyone.

- Edith Costello

*****
The Evolution of a City

When the Plaza Shopping Center opened on River Road in July of last year, Pineville City mayor Angela
Portofino predicted that it would benefit the city by bringing shoppers from nearby towns to the area. Based on a 25
percent increase in the city's sales tax receipts over the last six months, Ms. Portofino appears to have been correct.

However, less frequently mentioned was the potential effect of such commercial development on the city's
downtown business district, which includes a number of small, family-owned stores and restaurants. In the past two

Subject: Book project

Dear Mr. Goodman,

I attended a recent event where you spoke about your work, and I later had the pleasure of visiting your
exhibition.

I am currently working on a novel set in England, mainly London, in the 17th century, and I am seeking an
illustrator for this work. My publisher, Marson and Co. , is prepared to offer generous compensation and has given me
the discretion to select a collaborator. I feel that you would be an ideal creative partner.

Would you consider working with me on this endeavor? Your agent informed me that you are currently in Paris.
I will be there myself next week. Please feel free to contact me at finchg@libris.co.uk if you are available to meet.
