Questions 156-159 refer to the following mail

Mr. George Mackie


IFS Freight Forwarding
8471 S. Eastern Avenue
Chicago, IL 60647

Dear Mr. Mackie,

We have just received a complaint about a mishandled delivery from one of our
trusted customers. Mr. C. Benson of Butterfly Beauty Care in Dubuque, Iowa.
Apparently, a member of your staff delivered two cartons of goods to the Butterfly
Beauty Cure facility despite the fact that the items they contained had been damaged
in transit.
Enclosed, you will find a copy of the transmittal form signed by Mr. Benson, on
which he clearly indicated that he noticed Use damage while your driver was still
on the premises.
Mr. Benson reports that the driver refused to take the goods back, contrary to your
company's stated policy. Furthermore, the driver indicated that our packing was
responsible for the breakage. We can assure you that these boxes were packed with
the usual care, and left our warehouse in perfect condition. We can only conclude
that they were damaged during shipment.
We expect you to pick up the hoses immediately at absolutely no cost to Mr. Benson
or Smooth Skin. We are far from satisfied with the actions of your employee, and
in view of the fact that this is the third complaint we have received in six months,
my further incidents of this nature will force us to reconsider the renewal of our
contract with your firm.
Sincerely.
Peggy S. Rolf

Questions 167-168 refer to the following PIECE OF INFORMATION

A simple method of determining how fast savings grow


is to use the "Rule of 72." Divide the number 72 by the
interest rate to get the number of years required for
money to double. For example, in the case of a 16%
interest rate, 72 divided by 16% equals 4.5, so it takes
four and a half years for money to double. This is based
upon the 16% rate being compounded annually. If the
interest is compounded quarterly or daily, slightly
fewer years will he required.

167. What information does the 168. How is the ’Rule of 72' affected
"Rule of 72" give you? when interest is compounded daily?
A. The current interest rates A. The number of years involved
B. The quarterly interest rate decreases
C. The interest you earn in four and a B. The calculations become more
half years precise
D. The time it takes to double your C. The return on your investment
investment doubles
D. The rate of interest is much higher

Một phương pháp đơn giản để xác định mức độ tăng nhanh của tiết kiệm là sử dụng
"Quy tắc 72". Chia số 72 cho lãi suất để được số năm cần thiết để số tiền tăng gấp đôi.
Ví dụ, trong trường hợp lãi suất 16%, 72 chia cho 16% bằng 4,5, vì vậy phải mất bốn
năm rưỡi để tiền tăng gấp đôi. Điều này dựa trên tỷ lệ 16% được cộng lại hàng năm.
Nếu tiền lãi được gộp hàng quý hoặc hàng ngày thì số năm anh ta yêu cầu sẽ ít hơn một
chút.

Hi Mr. White,

My name is Linda Carter and I am the instructor for the Beginner English
Conversation Club to be held on April 10. I noticed that the library recently built the
Media Lab with funds raised by library patrons. I was hoping to change classrooms
in order to use my new educational resources by integrating computers into my
English conversation class. Could you please reschedule my class to be provided in
the same classroom as Never Too Late to Learn instead of the Education Center? I
think my students will appreciate the practical English skills they can learn on
computers. Also, could you please send an email to all of the students who have
signed up for the class? They will need to be informed about the room change

Dear Mr. Walker,

I am finalizing the calendar of summer events for our company. Because we went
over budget last year on employee appreciation events, I think it would be wise to
find more affordable recreational activities. Attached is a breakdown of projected
expenses for summer events that I have planned.

July 6: Anchorage Flower Festival


July 22: Art in the Park at Lawrence Park
August 6: Bicycle Tours of the Anchorage Countryside
August 19: Horseback Riding at Sweet Meadow Ranch

I have scheduled fewer outdoor activities this year compared to last year. This year
I would like to take advantage of a new outdoor recreational opportunity that I read
about on the Anchorage Reporter website. You can read the article by clicking on

Bike Tours of the Anchorage Countryside to Start August 6

May – The Anchorage Bike Club will be hosting an annual bike riding event this
summer, beginning on August 6 and running through August 7. The event will start
at 10:00 A.M. on both days at the Anchorage Community Center. If you are driving

19
a vehicle to the starting point, it would be better to use the parking lot behind the
community center.
Anchorage Bike Club President Jean Frost stated, “The rides will range from 5 to 20
miles and will take bikers through scenic areas in Anchorage. Overall, the bike tours
will go ahead at a leisurely pace so that bikers of all skill levels can participate.
However, local bikers with ample experience might lead a faster paced group.”
Bikers in the tours will learn about riding techniques, bicycle maintenance, and
proper nutrition half an hour before the event starts. All participants must have
biking helmets on. They are also encouraged to bring their own water to prevent
dehydration while biking.

BICYCLE TOUR SIGN-UP SHEET

If you intend to participate in the August 6 bicycle tour, please write down your
name, department, and level of experience or fitness. If we have enough people sign
up as advanced, we can coordinate two separate tours. If there are not enough for
two tours. We would like to encourage all riders to stay together so that everyone
can join in the team building exercises we have planned. Thank you for your
participation and we look forward to seeing everyone at the event!
