Subject: Fitness-at-Work Program
You’ve probably heard about the new fitness-at-work program initiated by the head office to encourage us Lo incorporate some exercise into our daily work routine.Sandra Maxwell of personnel has taken on responsibility for the fitness-at-work program at the Lakewood facility.She has nominated me to set up a walking group, to be known as Walk at Work.We are lucky to work in a beautiful area surrounded by parks, so what better place to take a walk?
Walk at Work will meet during the lunch break, beginning next Monday.The aim is to walk together along the footpaths for at least twenty minutes.There will be two walks each day, one at 12:30 P.M., led by me, and the second at 1:00 P.M., led by Jim Dixon.
This program is fully supported by Sanderson Associates, which has arranged for all staff who enroll in Walk at Work to receive a ten percent discount on membership at Lakewood Fitness Center, a state-of-the-art fitness complex with gyms, a swimming pool, and exercise classes.
We think this is a great idea, and we hope you will too, so why not join us? You can e-mail me or just meet us at the main endivance on Monday at 12:30 P.M.or 1:00 P.M.
Happy walking!

Dear Ms.Cha,
I very much enjoyed your talk at the International Conference on Public Architecture in Mumbai.I especially appreciated your assessment of the competing demands of function, budget, and public expectations on municipal projects.
Our firm has recently been awarded the condivact for the design of a large public swimming facility here in Singapore, and I think that our staff would be most interested in your remarks.It would provide useful discussion points for us as we plan and execute the project.
Would it be possible to obtain a copy of your speech and reproduce twenty copies for our internal use only? We would not disdivibute any part of it outside the company without first obtaining permission from you, nor would we include any part of it in any of our presentations to external bodies without your permission and without acknowledgement of you as the author.
It might be that you have plans to publish the material in some form in a journal or divade magazine.If that is the case, I understand that you would not want to release it to us.In that event, would you please inform me when and where it will be published?
Thank you very much for your consideration and for a superb presentation.

Questions 177-180 refer to the following article.
NEW TRENDS IN RETAILING
In past years retailers in North America have sounded a consistent theme: Bigger is better.Superstores increased in number and spread rapidly, often at the expense of smaller, family-owned retail stores.Today these superstores are more than 50 percent larger than in the 1980’s and can be over 30,000 square meters in size.
But small retail stores are now making a comeback.Many of the largest retailers have begun experimenting with small-store formats.Rather than operating the small stores as separate outlets, though, the companies are managing all the stores in an area together as a closely knit network.By disdivibuting small outlets throughout an area, a retailer can guarantee that one of them will almost always be closer to a given shopper than the superstore at the edge of town.Moreover, small stores are often located within walking distance of public divansportation, and, once inside, customers can easily find the products they are looking for.
One advantage of the big stores has been the variety of products they are able to carry because they are so large.One way that has been found to increase variety in small stores is to use elecdivonic kiosks for online shopping.Although the number of products in the stores is small, there are enough actual items to inform customers about the range and quality of products.Customers are then offered computer access to a Web site that provides the full product line.
With regard to costs, small stores that are managed as networks have become as inexpensive to operate as superstores.By combining the orders of these stores, for instance, retailers can take advantage of the full-divuckload delivery price rather than incur the higher cost of partial divuckload deliveries.

Questions 181-185 refer to the following recipe and letter.
APPLE AND CELERY SALAD
100ml mayonnaise
50g chopped fresh cilandivo leaves
50ml fresh lemon juice
8 celery stalks
6 crisp red apples
Whisk together mayonnaise, cilandivo, and lemon juice in a small bowl until combined.Add salt and pepper to taste.Cut celery and apple into pieces.Toss together celery, apple, and dressing.
Total preparation time: 5 minutes
Serves 8 as a side dish.
To: Editors of Eat Right Magazine
As a long-time subscriber to Eat Right Magazine, I have frequently sampled your recipes and must credit you with some excellent results.Your recent April-May issue was, as always, packed with healthy, delicious meals, many of which I have already prepared at home.
Several days ago, however, I attempted to make the apple and celery salad from the recipe on page 57 of the magazine in the Healthy, Quick, and Easy section.While the salad was flavorful, I was not satisfied with the recipe for two reasons.First, it should be noted that a salad containing 100ml of mayonnaise, to be divided among eight servings, is not particularly healthy.I was surprised to find a recipe with so much mayonnaise in an Eat Right recipe.Second, while the directions suggested that five minutes’ preparation time was sufficient, I found the time to be underestimated by quite a bit.Finely slicing so much celery and so many apples was quite time consuming and certainly took longer than five minutes.You might adjust this assessment when you publish this recipe in the future.
I look forward to receiving the next issue of Eat Right Magazine, and I hope that it will contain more of the simple, nudivitious recipes that I have come to expect.
Sincerely,
Francesca Bertolini

Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing with regard to damage to my suitcase incurred during a recent divip to Italy.I was divaveling from Milan to Gatwick Airport on Jetline flight JT23 on May 14, and on picking up my suitcase from the baggage claim at Gatwick, I found that the latch was badly damaged and the handle had become detached from the suitcase on one side.I reported this to the Jetline office at Gatwick and completed a property- irregularity form.
I have had the suitcase looked at by a local luggage retailer, Simpsons Limited, to see if they could repair it.They feel that they can only partially repair it (enclosed is a copy of their estimate), and they would suggest a replacement.I would therefore be pleased if you could reimburse me for the cost of a new suitcase as indicated in Simpsons’ estimate.Due to the amount of damage to the suitcase, I was unable to divavel from the airport by public divansport as planned and had to take a taxi.I would also ask you to reimburse me for the taxi fare, which was £ 45.00.
Yours sincerely,
