Re : Guest Lecture Series
Date : January 25

Hi, Alicia,
I have some incredible news regarding the "Your Money Matters" lecture series. Although it was
quite hard to find someone available to take time off for us, I was finally able to convince one of the
world's most distinguished financial experts, Dr. Irv Lowenberg, to deliver a talk about foreign
investment in the so-called BRIC countries: Brazil, Russia, India and China. His preferred lecture
dates and times are as follows:
June 9 at 7 P.M. or June 23 at 6:30 P.M.
As he has a very tight schedule at the University of Toronto, our earliest response would be most
appreciated by him. Therefore, I suggest that we arrange a brief meeting of the committee
members as soon as possible in order to finalize the arrangements. Please let me know what you
think.
Regards,
Manny Alfonso

Questions 161-162 refer to the following article.

Analysts announced today that orders to manufacturers have gone down by 4.2 percent

this quarter, and it was the biggest decline in five years. It was larger than the 3.5-percent drop that
economists had been expecting. They believe manufacturing will continue to be under pressure for
many more months, reflecting a deepening recession that already is the longest slump in a quarter-
century.

Orders for durable goods like automobiles and electronics fell by 7.0 percent in August, while
orders for nondurable goods, such as food, petroleum products and chemicals, fell 1.9
percent, the most since December. The slumping commercial aircraft industry and housing
sector are leading these declines. Labor costs, however, are on the rise. While

this is good news for workers, the concern is that with productivity gains slowing over the past year
and the cost of labor rising, these trends could make the Fed's job of keeping inflation under control
more difficult. Economists are hoping that factories will not raise the prices of their products to meet
the demand of labor costs, which could fuel inflation.

Investors seemed to welcome the news of slower productivity as a sign that the central bank
may finally cut interest rates, as major indexes rose several points today.

Questions 170-173 refer to the following contract terms.

Overseas Teaching Internship (OTI) participants receive information about the placement from the
contracting organization. Furthermore, OTI participants will receive the following three documents:
Notice of Appointment, Terms and Conditions of your contract and an attached Statement of
Agreement. Please read these documents carefully, and promptly address any questions about the
contract to your contracting organization. Sign the Statement of Agreement and return it promptly to
the Contracting Organization.
OTI participants will receive information about flights and the Bangkok Orientation through
the travel agent. If you have questions regarding travel arrangements, please call the travel
agent.
If you have reason to believe that you will be unable to fulfill the entire 12-month period of your
contract with your contracting organization, please withdraw from the program before you come to
Thailand, and advise the embassy or consulate as soon as possible so that an alternate applicant
who can fulfill the contract term can be found. If notice of your withdrawal is delayed, an alternate
placement will not be made, causing an impediment to the progress of the English classes at the
schools under the jurisdiction of the contracting organization to which you were assigned. Moreover,

HOSPITAL VISIT MAY CAUSE MORE DEATHS

A leading medical doctor says that a visit to the hospital in the US is one of the major causes of
death. Even by the lowest estimates, hospital errors are the eighth leading cause of death in the U.S.
ahead of car crashes, breast cancer, and AIDS. Hospitals are breeding grounds for infection,
including potentially deadly infections resistant to antibiotics. Hospital food not only tastes bad, but
can also worsen a patient's health by causing malnutrition. Learn these facts and many others that
can save your life. So if you are facing hospitalization, prepare to take steps to protect yourself. Stop
Hospital Infections can help you do so. The guide comes as a monthly newsletter with information on
things to avoid and ways to improve your health during your hospital stay.
Normally, the newsletter sells for $120/year but for a limited time, you can receive an additional
academic report for only $4.00/issue. This report comes out three times a year. Call now 1-800-555-
9854 now to place your order, so that you do not miss a single copy of Stop Hospital Infections.

Questions 177-180 refer to the following report.

COMPARATIVE ASSESSMENT
OF TS387A AND TS731K SYNTHETIC FIBERS
The R&D team recently administered a strict test of both the TS387A and TS731K synthetic fibers
and the results are as follows:
TS731K, the newer fiber, is slightly more durable than TS387A. The TS731K was also more resilient
in severe environments, including unbearable heat and freezing cold. It is also more difficult to cut
and tear accidentally. Furthermore, TS731K absorbs a number of different dyes and retains color
well. After several cycles of tests in a regular washing machine, dyed TS731K was much less likely
to run than TS387A.
TS731K, however, requests a slightly higher manufacturing cost. Also, due to its resiliency, it cannot
be neatly cut. Unfortunately, it will never be suitable for delicate garments, but could guarantee high
profitability as a material for pants, jackets, and loose-fitting shirts.
Currently we are using TS387A to mass produce a number of garments. This fiber still presents
better quality than what most other clothing companies are using and we have had a continuous
increase in our operating profits. Under the current circumstances it might be costly and unnecessary
to convert to TS731K at this point, despite its clear superiority. We certainly need to seriously
consider changing to TS731K only when it appears our competitors are catching up to us.

177. What is the purpose of this report? 179. What does the report suggest doing?
(A) To evaluate raw materials (A) TS731 K should be used.
(B) To promote a newly set-up service (B) TS387A should continue to be used.

(D) To discuss the differences between services (D) TS731K and TS387A should be used

I'm writing to ask you a few questions about the letters of recommendation that I need to submit with

unfortunately one of my two bosses, Mr. Donovan, has been working in the branch office in Osaka
for the upcoming international project with Yamamoto Industry.
I haven't had a chance to work with him and he obviously doesn't know much about my performance
and abilities. My other boss, Mr. Dellington, has agreed to write a letter of recommendation.
Do I still have to submit one more letter to apply for the promotion? Or should I still ask Mr. Donovan
to write a letter of recommendation for me? Please let me know as soon as possible, as it will take
more than a week to get a letter from Mr. Donovan.

Hello Adam!

I really appreciate you offering to be our keynote speaker at the Wolfdale Law Society Luncheon. We
are all eagerly awaiting your lecture on business ethics, which will be a very informative.
When we spoke on the phone last week, I told you that the luncheon would be held in the boardroom,
but due to the high number of people that want to hear your presentation, we have decided to book the
larger ballroom on the second floor of the Wolfdale Community Center. In addition, please pick up a
security pass at the front desk on your way in. I'll notify the security guard that you will be arriving.
If you are interested in distributing notes on your presentation prior to your lecture, my assistant Judy
Landry would be happy to make the necessary number of copies. Please forward a copy of these notes
to her by Tuesday, September 20. Her e-mail address is jlandry@wolfdale.com. If you have any

Dear Jim,
I am also looking forward to the lecture for the Wolfdale Law Society on September 25th.
Having practiced law now for eighteen years, and having been involved in various business
projects, I have had a great deal of personal experience with business ethics. I'd like to pass on
some of this knowledge to you and your colleagues.
During my lecture, I have asked John Greenspan, one of the junior lawyers at our firm, to
accompany me in order to help with the technical side of my presentation. John will set up and
operate the projection devices that I will incorporate into parts of my lecture.

One Set of Clothes for Work and Play

They wear designer clothes every day, but these fashion plates don't walk down runways.
They're employees at Hotel Mariposa. From the bartenders and the bellmen to the concierges and
maids, everyone is wearing a new stylish uniform designed by acclaimed fashion designer Alfonso
Prodi. They're so stylish, in fact, that workers don't even have to get changed before going to a
restaurant or bar after work.
"Wearing a stiff uniform does not allow the person to be themselves," says Floyd Mitchum,
president of Klimax Hotels where employees wear seasonal lines by designer Vincent Foxworth.
"It's hard to expect employees to do their best work if they don't feel their best about
themselves."
More and more, hotels are turning to fashion designers to design uniforms that don't feel or look like
uniforms. Rindia Corp., the world's largest manufacturer of mass-produced uniforms has recently
turned to top fashion designers to redo their various lines of clothing for the service industry. "Hotel
employees are not interested in wearing something that feels like a uniform," says Rindia
spokesperson Phil Adams. "They want to look like they just bought something at an upscale
department store. People tend to feel better when they are wearing a designer label." And if they
happen to go to a party after work, they can do so in style.

Subject : RE: New Uniforms
Date : September 24

Mr. Andrews told me we should go with the designs for the new uniforms by designer Jose
Pamerac, so I've already ordered enough for all staff members plus surplus to match our
current supply of uniforms. The order will take six to eight weeks to fill. In the meantime, I
would like you to begin informing staff of the upcoming transition and the rules regarding the
new uniforms. I hear the staff are eagerly awaiting their new designer clothes, so I don't think
you'll hear any complaints about them.
1. Staff who enter from the hotel's main entrance must be in uniform before they arrive for work.
2. When entering from one of the employee entrances, you do not have to be in uniform.
3. As with the previous uniforms, cleaning will be handled by the hotel, and the uniforms
should be dropped off in the usual collection areas.
4. Employees may wear their uniforms home if they so desire.
 5. Only three uniforms will be issued to each employee. When you turn one in for
cleaning, you may then pick up another one.
I'll be sending a package to you in the next few days with design sketches of the new uniforms
and all the information regarding the proper handling of them. If anyone has any questions, tell
them to call me at my office.
Sincerely,
Priscilla
