W: What will we do to thank the major sponsors of our museum this year? It’s almost November and we should do something to remind them of us.
M: Well, let’s do more than just send out thank-you cards like we did last year. How about making picture frames with our museum’s name and logo on them?
W: Hey, that’s actually a good idea. In that way, they could always remember us every time they look at the frame. However, we have to make sure the frame looks elegant and stylish and not like a free giveaway.
M: I have an idea. I know a premium gift shop on Main Street which handles personalized gifts such as cups and trophies. They’re only a block away from us. I’ll stop by their store after lunch.
W: Actually, they just moved to a new location at the corner of Beacon Street and Carton Avenue across from Boise Cafe. Let me call them first to find out whether they take large orders.
These questions are from this test. Would you like to take a practice test?

Christine, would you call Dr. Morris and confirm the five o'clock appointment?
Christine

Did you forget that you have a staff meeting starting at three?
Christine
11:23A.M.
I don't think you'll have enough time to get to the hospital by five. As you know, the meeting usually lasts more than two hours.
Ron
11:25 A.M.
Oh! It completely slipped my mind.
Ron
11:26 A.M.
Make the appointment for six then, and when you're done, would you call the sales manager and ask him to come to my office?
Christine
11:28A.M.
Sure. If Dr. Morris can't make it for six, I'll change your appointment to 9 a.m tomorrow.

On April 1st, Value Plus Airlines opened its doors to travelers looking to purchase low cost tickets but not sacrifice service and reliability. The airline's first flights are scheduled to begin on May 15th and will fly between New York and Los Angeles. In July, Value Plus will add service from New York to Dallas and to Seattle.
Tickets can be purchased by phone or on the company's web site. However, to keep costs low, they are not available through travel agencies.
Unlike most other airlines, Value Plus allows travelers to check two pieces of luggage at no extra charge. It also advertises no change fees to reschedule your flight for a different date. Even though it is a budget airline, it still offers free non-alcoholic drinks and snacks. According to Value Plus representatives, it will offer low priced meal options beginning in June. In addition, it claims to offer fast automated check-in procedures at the airport.

Subject: Flight issue
Date: May 19th
Dear Mr. Bryant:
I flew on Value Plus Flight 105 on May 17th, and of course, I was looking forward to affordable, fast, and reliable service as advertised by Value Plus Airlines. Although my flight left on time and I enjoyed the complimentary in-flight refreshments, the speed of the check-in process did not meet my expectations. I arrived at the airport an hour and a half before my flight, but several of the automated check-in machines were not working, which caused me to have to wait in line for almost 50 minutes. This caused me to nearly miss my flight. I understand you are just getting started but I hope these problems will be rectified before my next flight to Los Angeles on June 5th. If not, I will most likely take my business elsewhere.
Sincerely,
Sheila Primrose

Dear Ms. Ferguson,
Since our most recent inspection, we have had several difficulties using our Prestige Laser Printer.
I raised the issue with the technician when he was here last for the contractual inspection and maintenance on August 15. The technician informed me that the problems we were experiencing were the result of a faulty part and that he would complete a diagnostic report for us. Unfortunately, since then we have not heard anything more about this report.
Since’ our next inspection will not occur for another four months, we would like to have your technician return to our offices and complete the repairs as soon as possible. Please inform us as to the earliest date a technician can visit our location.
Sincerely,
William Blundel
