đáp án đúng thường là các từ/cụm từ như they, the people, some people, a
man/ woman, one man/ woman ….
- Theo sau chủ ngữ trong các đáp án là động từ diễn tả hành động của chủ ngữ
và các sự vật nổi bật có liên quan

thể là đáp án đúng.

hợp, chủ ngữ của đáp án đúng không phải là nhân vật đó mà là sự vật và

You can collect your vehicle from the repair center this aftemoon. The total cost of the service
comes to $345.50. Acting on your request, the tires have been rotated, and the battery has been
replaced. Also, after the repairmen inspected the rest of the vehicle and realized that what you
said was right, they performed a wheel alignment.
As usual, complimentary oil changes were also provided. You will receive a more detailed
account of the charges and services rendered on pick-up.
For the past three months, a team from the financial department has been investigating ways for
our company to cut costs. They delivered their final report to me yesterday, and I'd like to share
the results with you.
The number-one way we, here at Symbolite Publishing, can lower our overhead is by conserving
office supplies. For example, the investigative team found that we use over 56,000 sheets of
paper every week. Not only is this excessive, but it is unnecessary. By utilizing digital document
formats and communicating by email, the financial team believes we can reduce that number to
12,000 sheets per week or less. That translates to a yearly saving of nearly $23,000. In order to
encourage smart use of office supplies, I am designing a training workshop to be attended by all
employees. I will meet with department heads tomorrow to determine an appropriate schedule
and format, with the hope of beginning the sessions sometime next month.
Until then, please be conscious of the ways you use office supplies and how you could use less.

Other Observations:
- Because Mr. Brampton was behind schedule, his colleague Stephanie Ramirez has
had to finish and submit his last 3 ad proposals.
UNIENGLISHCENTER | 188
- Mr. Brampton spoke with a rude tone to our client at Vistrim on May 14.
- Mr. Brampton received an official warning on June 3 for being consistently late to work.
The warning was issued by Philippe Buldakov, the Marketing Team Supervisor.
Overall Comments:
- Mr. Brampton lacks the professionalism necessary to survive in the advertising industry.
I think we should give Mr. Brampton one last chance to prove himself over a month trial period.
Mr. Buldakov and will meet with him regularly during this time to discuss ways to enhance his
performance. If he still doesn't show any signs of improvement, I strongly recommend that his
employment at Ad World Inc. is terminated.

Additional Comments
The food was good and the service was excellent but | think the atmosphere in the restaurant
could be better. I don't like the decorations on the walls and the carpet on the floor is dirty.
DANG 8: MIX
Lam currently living in the Pittsburg area, but will be relocatirig to California, and would like
UNIENGLISHCENTER | 191
some more information on the apartments your agency is currently leasing in the Berkley area.
Although my primary concern is which neighborhood the building is in, my other requirements
are that it is one room, with large windows, and a good view.
I would really like to start the process of searching for an apartment as soon as possible because
I have accepted a teaching position at Berkley University, and will be starting work in less than
two months. Also, since I don't own a car, I would prefer to live within walking distance of the
University campus. I certainly appreciate your assistance with this matter. Please feel free to
contact me any time at 345-243-5675.
Regards,
Matthew Remington

Attention shoppers!
Following a routine engineering safety inspection, experts recommended. that we have the
ceiling in the Kindle Street parking lot reinforced. As a result, this lot will be closed for
renovation from the 13th to the 15th of this month. It will reopen again on the 16th. We
apologize for any inconvenience this causes.
On the affected days you will need to use either our main parking lot or the nearby Nelson
public lot. For those of you who don‘t know, Nelson Street is on the other side of McLean Park,
and the public lot is next to Kennedy Sports Center. We have made arrangements with the
management at Nelson that will allow us to validate tickets for that lot.
Thank you,
The Management, Luton Department Store
Hello,
UNIENGLISHCENTER | 195
I visited your department store this morningto do some shopping. Your main parking area was
full, and your Kindle Street lot was under maintenance, so I had to park at the public lot on
Nelson Street. This was a little inconvenient as the walk from Nelson Street is uphill. However,
I understand the situation and the safety concerns involved.
I was very disappointed, though, when I had so much trouble getting my parking ticket validated
at your store. The clerk who served me claimed that she was not authorized to handle tickets for
the Nelson public lot. She told me I had to go to the information desk. Then, in tum, the person
at the information desk directed me to the cashier's office on the third floor. I finally got the
ticket validated there. The process was very confusing and complicated. | realize that today is the
first day your employees have had to handle parking validation for the Nelson lot, but please
make sure your staff is fully aware of your procedures in the future.
Yours,
Max Verlaine
