Dear Ms. Thompson,
9
This is to thank you again for the invitation to take part in the BioTech Project in Sec. 10I really appreciate it.
11
The success of its first phase has maintained our good reputation. 12I would also like to suggest you few
ideas about the implementation of Phase 2 of this project. 13As discussed at our previous meeting there are
things we have to do:
14Renew overall effectiveness of Phase 1 of the project
15identify the strengths and weakness of Phase 1 of the project
16Propose customer-focused solutions to address areas of weakness
17Develop a more detailed action plan for Phase 2 of the project
18Determine the creative director after Jill Hawking’s resignation
19
i trust I have covered all of the points that we discussed. 20In relation to the last point, I am thinking of
Sylvia McClain, who won the Adcom competition for the “Most Successful Advertisement” in London this
year.
21
she will be in East Hotel, Chicago on Tuesday, July fifth for a press conference. 22I also found out today that
I will be in Aurora on the same date for a conference. 23If it works with you, I could meet you in Chicago
either on the morning of the fourth or the sixth as it would be an excellent opportunity to work out the
details of this project with her. 24I believe that Sylvia would be a great addition to the Biotech Project. 25Her
wide range of experience and expertise will be highly invaluable for us.
26
If you have any questions or suggestions, please do not hesitate to give me a call at 705-1818. 27I look
forward to hearing from you soon.

Thank you.

There are three reason why solar energy generation has not developed more rapidly. First, the cost per watt
of solar cell generation is more expensive than that steam power or nuclear power generation. Therefore,
researchers are still looking for ways to make solar cells cheaper, second, nature plays a large part in solar
cell generation. For example, some days are cloud and rainy, because there is not always fine weather, solar
energy cannot be generated every day. No solar energy is generated at night. Consequently, solar cells must
have the capacity to store energy for use during these times and these storage cells are very expensive. As a
result, only in low latitude areas can enough solar energy be generated effectively at these times. Finally,
building plants for solar cell generation is extremely expensive. A very large space is need, and the need for
maintenance is constant. To illustrate, the surface of the solar cell plant has to be cleaned daily.
For all these reasons, it is very difficult to develop solar cell plants and make solar cell energy available to the
general public for a competitive price. Despite all these problems, we believe that day will come when we
use solar energy cells because they are a form of clean energy with no pollution
1. The text describes...of the slow development solar cell energy

a. Great progress has beEn made in the development of solar cell energy
b. Solar cells can generate and store energy during THE night
c. Unlike solar cell energy, nuclear energy is more expensive to generate
d. Producing solar energy is quite a profitable business nowAdays
e. Generating solar cell energy greatly depend on the condition of the weather
4. The development of solar cell energy for public use has been rather slow due to the following, except..
a. The nature of solar energy itself
b. The high cost of production
c. The condition of nature
d. The high construction costs of the plant

Computers are relatively new invention. The first computers were built sixty years ago and it is only in the
last thirty years that their influence has affected our everyday life. Personal computers were introduced as
recently in this short time they have made a tremendous impact on our life. We are now so dependent on
computers that it is hard to imagine what things would be like today without them. You have only got to go
into a bank when their main computer is broken to understand the chaos that occur if computers were
suddenly removed worldwide
In the future, computers will be used to create bigger and even more sophisticated computers. The prosfect
for this are quite alarming. They will be complex that no individual could hope to understand how they work.
They will bring a lot of benefits but they will also inercase the potential for unmergable charts. They will be,
for example, be able to fly planes and they will be able to coordinate the movements of several planes
around the airport. Providing all computers are working correctly nothing can go wrong, but if one program
fails, there will be a disaster.
There is no doubt that technology will progress and become increasingly complex. However, ensure that we
are still in a position where we are able to control technology. It will be able too easy to suddenly discover
that technology Is controlling us. By then it might be too late. I believe that is very important to be suspicious
of the benefits that computers will bring and to make sure that we never become totally dependent on a
completely technological world.
