by Hurricane Harry to my barn is unacceptably low. The amount that your company has offered

damage to my barn, and their estimate is vary between $1500 and $1750.
I would like your company to take into consideration the estimates I have provided and reevaluate
your settlement offer. If you continue to deny the fact that your offer is unacceptably, I will need to
seek legal counsel.

I will appreciate your immediate attention to this matter.

Your sincerely,

Mathew Liverpool

The following text is for questions 10 to 12.

The sun pour plenty of energy down on the Earth, and many homes now use this energy to heat
their water. It is difficult and expensive to trap solar energy on a large scale but in some sunny part
of the world scientists use mirrors to reflect sunlight into a boiler on top of a tower.

This heats up water in the boiler into steam, which can then be used to turn electric generators.
Many countries now have nuclear power stations. These use a rare metal called uranium as a kind
of fuel. Under certain conditions, the nucleus (center) of uranium atoms can be made of split. This
is called fission. When this happens fantastic amount of energy is given out. The heat produced in
a nuclear reactor is taken away by cooling liquid or gas. It goes to a boiler where it boils water to
produce steam. The hot steam powers electric generators to make electricity.

One of the main drawbacks with a nuclear power station is that it produces dangerous waste. It is
dangerous because it gives out radiation (rays) that can harm most living things. Nuclear
engineers have to make very sure that none of the radiation escapes either from the reactor
(where fission takes place) or from the waste.
10. Solar energy has not been popular yet because ....
A. it requires high cost
B. the energy produced is weak
C. it cannot be trapped on a large scale
D. it can be used only for heating water
E. the scientists do not use it for commercial targets

11. Which statement is NOT TRUE according to the text?

A. Using energy has advantages and disadvantages
B. Electric generators are needed to heat up water into steam
C. The splitting of the nucleus of uranium atoms is called fission
D. Radiation may be emitted from reactor or from the waste produced

12. In the ‘top of a tower’ ... turns the water in theboiler into steam.
A. the electric generator D. a boiler on top of the tower
B. a large scale of energy E. the heat from reflected sunlight.
C. the energy from the earth

lyrics, and he has to come up with a hit in a matter of days, enter Sophie Fisher (Drew Barrymore),
Alex’s attractively quirky lady, whose flair for words strikes a chord with the struggling songwriter. On
the rebound from a bad relationship.
 Sophie is reluctant to collaborate with anyone, especially commitment-phobe Alex. As their
