Mr. Tomi Galoob, Galoob Ceramics PO Box 356
Frisbie, NY 02165
Dear Mr. Galoob,
Thank you for sending me a copy of your latest ceramics catalog. You have been sending us your
catalog here at the museum for several years now, and I always look forward to reading it. I was
amazed yet again at the variety and creativity that you have displayed in your work. Your vases
and bowls are quite exquisite! They look so realistic. They really do resemble the plants and
animals that they arc modeled after. I would like to order 50 more of the ladybug howls. They are
perfect for holding sugar cubes, but unfortunately we have had a lot of breakages this year.
However, it was the scorpion cups that really grabbed my attention. According to the catalog,
they are available in small, medium, and a limited number of extra-large sizes. I am interested in
purchasing approximately 25 of the extra-large scorpion cups. If they are popular, 1 may consider
ordering more, if the museum has the budget. Please send me information on your available
stock. I would appreciate receiving the information by fax. I look forward to hearing from you,
and hope that we will be able to continue doing business for a long time to come.
Sincerely,

Linda Trump,

Tips for shopping through the mail
Every year, thousands of people successfully order goods from mail order catalogs. However,
some more unfortunate individuals find that the goods they ordered look nothing like the pictures,
arrive damaged, or don't arrive at all. Here are some tips to help protect yourself when you shop
through the mail.
Before placing your first order, ask around. Have your friends or family used this catalog before?
How was their experience? Were they satisfied with the goods and service? Would they use the
company again?
Read all available information, including the return policy. Look for companies that offer a no-
questions asked return policy. Check whether you will have to pay postage if you need to return
goods.
Always include shipping costs and sales tax in the final price when comparing costs. In some
cases, the shipping costs can really add up. Make sure you know exactly what you are paying for.
How long will you have to wait for your order. If you need something in a hurry, shopping by
mail might not be the best option.
Keep records of your orders, including the catalog name, address, telephone number, and the
date that you placed the order. Of course, you should also keep track of items ordered, operator
name, and expected date of delivery.
If you encounter any problems with a mail-order company, contact a consumer advocacy group.
You can easily find telephone numbers for such groups in the telephone directory or on the
Internet.

From: Sunshine Holidays Marketing Division
Re: Customer Preferences: Competition
As a result of recent research, we have decided to launch a staff competition.
500 British people were recently surveyed by Sunshine Holidays about their vacation plans for
the coming summer. 100 people in each of five different age ranges were surveyed. They were
asked to indicate which countries they planned to visit out of four possible choices. The choices
given were Italy, France, Britain, and Spain. It seems that as they get older, people tend to choose
not to travel overseas. As we can see from the table, the older participants chose Britain as their
first choice to visit. When asked about this choice, they gave several reasons, including fears
about health problems and access to medical care, worries about communicating in a foreign
language, and the desire to spend time with their grandchildren during the school vacations. The
youngest group of participants chose Spain as their favorite. They said it was because of Spain's
reputation as a fun and lively place with beautiful beaches. However, overall, France was the
most popular destination for all age groups. This is because of its close location to Britain.
We want to increase the number of older customers visiting Spain (target A), and the number of
younger visitors traveling within Britain (target B). For this reason, we are launching a staff
competition. Please submit your ideas to increase the number of customers in either target group
A or target group B. The two lucky winners will win an all-expenses paid trip to Bermuda.

140. What were the people surveyed about?


(A) Their vacation plans
(B) Countries they had visited
(C) Ski resorts in Europe
(D) General knowledge about four countries

141. What is the purpose of this memo?


(A) To introduce Sunshine Holidays
(B) To announce a competition
(C) To talk about medical care and health
(D) To introduce France, Italy, Spain and Britain

142. Which country was the most popular with all age groups?
(A) Italy
(B) France
(C) England
(D) Spain

143. Which country was the most popular with people in their twenties?
(A) Italy

Mankato Herald

Musicians Hurt in Stage Accident


Mankato: July 5'1'. Cheers turned to tears last weekend at the Summer Classics Music Festival in
Woodland Park. Saturday night's concert; the culmination of a week-long celebration, was
attended by over 250 people. The evening closed with the first movement from Bach's
Brandenburg Concerto No. 5. For this final number, the Mankato Symphony Orchestra was
joined by local hand Sons of Poseidon, just back from a tour of the former Soviet Union and
China. The audience didn't seem to enjoy the performance which featured dueling solos from
lead singer, Vince Voxx, and guitarist Barron von Jamz. There are reports of some members of
the audience throwing empty cans at the stage. Just minutes before the close of the piece, disaster
struck. According to eye witness reports, the band's rotating drum cage began to spin out of
control. Some concert goers say that Vince Voxx had tried to throw back some of the cans, and
they became entangled in the mechanism of the drum cage. A stagehand managed to disconnect
the cage from its power source, but not before the drummer was knocked unconscious. He is
listed in a stable condition at St. Gules Memorial Hospital.

The Editor
Mankato Herald Local Newsdcsk, Mankato
Dear Sir,
I am one of the musicians involved in last weekend's Music Festival, and I would like to say that
I feel your reporting was very biased. First, while I saw journalists from many newspapers, I did
not see anyone from the Mankato Herald. The details in your report differ greatly from the facts.
First, the audience thoroughly enjoyed the performance, cheering and singing along. Cans were
not thrown at the stage, and even if they had been, our lead singer Vince Voxx would never do
something irresponsible or dangerous like throwing them back at the audience. He is not that kind
of person. He can always be trusted to do the right thing. The drum cage did not "spin out of
control" and no one was hospitalized. The Mankato Herald has a history of writing negative
reports about events involving Sons of Poseidon. I am not sure why, but would like to request
that you write more objective articles in the future.
Sincerely,

Johan Greer (Barron von Jamz)

145. How long was the Summer Classics Music Festival?


(A) 250 days
(B) A weekend
(C) 7 days

146. Where had Sons of Poseidon been touring?

147. According to the article, who stopped the rotating drum cage?

(B) The guitarist
(C) A stagehand
(D) The conductor
148. Why did John Greer write to the Mankato Herald?
(A) To praise their article
(B) To complain about the article
(C) To submit an article
(D) To ask for a job

Farmers of Gromatia Be Proud!


The Government of Gromatia would like to thank all its farmers for their hard work this year.
Despite the winter flooding and the summer drought, 2005 was overall a great year for the
farming industry. As a nation whose income is based on the revenue generated by the produce of
our farmers, your work is of the greatest importance to us.
We have sent you the figures for 1995 and 2005, so that you can measure your success for
yourselves. However, you will notice that exports were down in certain areas. In particular,
coffee was low. These days, coffee drinking is becoming very popular thanks to large chains of
coffee shops offering cheap but tasty coffee worldwide. We feel that it is important for Gromatia
to gain a position in this market. Over the next ten years, we will be offering subsidies to farmers
who plant coffee. We hope that this will enable us to increase our annual exports.
The second area in which we hope to excel is wine. With more leisure time, better education and
a desire for luxury, people are becoming more interested in wine. In the past people stuck to the
wines of France, Italy and Germany, but now they are looking for more unique wines from
smaller locations. This is where we see a niche for us in the market. We believe that this will be
our strongest export item by 2015.
Although small, Gromatia has the potential to do very well in the international market. Thank you
for your efforts in taking us there.

149. Which product was exported more in 1995 than in 2005?


(A) Cigarettes
(B) Grains
(C) Coffee
(D) Beef

150. What is true about the export of beef in the 10-year period?
(A) It increased more than any other product.
(B) It increased more than grains.
(C) It increased less than wine.
(D) It increased more than cigarettes.
