Mr. Skolnik,
We were all concerned about your sudden illness yesterday and hope that you are
feeling better today. I know that you will feel reassured to learn that last night's
awards ceremony went very well despite your absence. We had Kazadi Koite lead
both items 3 and 4, and I am happy to report that he did an excellent job. The CEO
of B.J. Technology accepted the award for “most environmentally friendly
company” on his company's behalf and expressed great delight on receiving it. The
reception was enjoyed by all. We had reserved the room for only three hours, and
some guests stayed until the last possible moment. More guests attended than we
expected, so we barely had enough room for everyone. Perhaps we should ask for a
bigger room next year. Rooms 2 and 3 are also small, but either room 4 or room 6
would be a good size, I think. Even though the ceremony and reception were a great
success, I have several other ideas for improvements for next year ceremony. We
can discuss them when you return to work. Please rest well. We hope to see you
healthy and back at work soon.

Câu 6 : Read the following two e-mails
Hi.
Sorry for sending this to all the staff in the company, but my list of people who are
going to the Signmakers' Conference in Dartmouth is not up-to-date, so I thought I'd
mail it to everyone just to be on the safe side.
The company has agreed to pay for transport by rail which means you won't have to
drive there yourselves. We've booked seats on the 06.30 from Stanton Heath which
goes direct to Dartmouth. We should arrive there by 08.45, and we can then share
taxis to get to the venue, which I understand is just a 15 minute drive, so we should
easily make the 09.30 start.
Hotel accommodation has been booked at the Premium Inn, Dartmouth. The
management have agreed that all delegates should have their own rooms. It's likely
that some of you will have singles, while others will have doubles and twins. I can't
take request for double rooms, I'm afraid. It will be the luck of the draw. All rooms
will have en suites, and should be very comfortable.
We're planning return transport on the 20.10 from Dartmouth which will get us back
to Stanton Heath at 22.00.
I'll be booking transport on Friday morning (14th March), so if you have any queries
or problems, make sure you contact me before then.

Unfortunately, when I got home and looked at one of the jackets, I noticed there was

any damages incurred during cleaning. I have been doing business with Spotless
Cleaner's for three years and have always received excellent service, but I am quite
distressed about this recent incident. I would like the company to pay for the repair
of this item, and to give me a full refund on the cost of dry cleaning all three items.
Please contact me as soon as possible to discuss this matter. I can be reached Monday
to Friday after 6 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday any time. My home number is 632-

Dear Ms. Saunders,
I would like to extend our thanks for your support during the Klondike Historical

successful than we expected.
In the past few years, the number of people attending the fair has increased

pleased to report that $85.000 was raised at the fair this year, which far surpasses
any record set at previous fairs. The funds will be used in the restoration of historic
buildings in the downtown area.
Thank you again for all your help and support.

Câu 13: Insomnia
A business may show a good profit, but consistently run into cash flow problems,
sometimes severe ones. The idea of profit refers to a sum of money earned at a
fixed (but sometimes imaginary) point in time. As a reference point for a business's
success, it is the standard. However, using cash flow as a reference point gives a
more dynamic picture of a business’s success based on a constant comparison of
available cash to expenses. A business owner's understanding of his own success
can depend on which of these models he works from.
The outlook on a business’s financial situation can similarly depend on whether the
business follows a cash method or an accrual method ofaccounting. In a cash method
of accounting, income is reported only aspayment is received, while the accrual
method of accounting records incomeas soon as the sale is made. So, using the
accrual method, if it takes a buyer three months to send a check for the goods and
services provided, then a business may have trouble meeting its cash flow needs in
the interim, while still showing a profit. For this reason, many small businesses
prefer to use the cash method. The cash method is simpler and offers a more realistic
picture of a business’s finances at any given moment in time. The accrual system,
however, allows for more sophisticated analysis, which can consolidate several
facets of business management into a single operation.
1. What best states what this article is mostly about?
A. how businesses can use different methods of accounting to look lessprofitable for
tax purposes
B. how the accrual method compares to the cash method of accounting
C. how understandings of profitability and methods of accounting can alter
perceptions of success
D. how the idea of profit compares with the idea of cash flow
2. According to the article, what is an advantage of using an accrual system of
accounting?
A. It gives a more dynamic picture of a business's success.
B. It is simpler.
C. It reduces cash flow discrepancies.
D. It allows for more sophisticated financial analysis.
3. According to the article, what problems can arise from looking strictly at profit?
A. cash flow problems
B. accrual problems
C. accounting errors
D. imaginary problems

Rochester, MD 10337
Dear Mrs. Richards
Thank you for your recent inquiry about the range of goods produced by Patel
Pottery. It is my great pleasure to send you a copy of our latest catalog. We are a
small family-run business, and as such, do not produce large quantities of any of our
items. Each item that appears in our catalog is limited to a production run of 10. This
means that only ten of each item is ever produced. On occasion, if a particular item
produces a great demand, then we may recreate it, but we prefer to keep the
individuality of our products and steer clear of mass production. This is because of
our philosophy of craftsmanship. We feel that once our potters are asked to make
things in large numbers, they risk losing the sense of craftsmanship and begin to feel
like a mass-production conveyor belt. Or course, this does mean that our prices are
somewhat higher than in the average store, but I am sure you will agree that it is
worth the cost to the able to own a more unique piece of pottery. If you see anything
in our catalog that catches your eye, or if you have a design of your own that you
would like made, the best way to place an order is to call me at 088-799-8000. You
can also check out our website at www.patelpot.co.uk

area. While on-site, guests must wear their visitor cards at all times. Visitor cards

leaving the building.
Employees should avoid letting anyone into the building who does not have an ID
swipe card. Instead, employees should ask the person who they are here to see and
offer to call that person for them. Anyone who senses that there is something out of

Mr. J. Bevan

Pittsburgh, PA 12244
Dear Mr. Bevan,
Thank for your recent letter regarding our All-Power vacuum cleaner. I am happy to
answer your question. The All-Power can, indeed, be used outdoors. In fact,
according to recent consumer reports, many people feel it is more efficient outdoors
than any other similar vacuum cleaner. Since the unit is cordless, it can be used
anywhere. This means there are no limitations on movement, making it perfect for
cleaning hard to reach places around the home and garden. It is also double-insulated
for safety, so it is safe to use in most weather conditions.
However, I would recommend being careful whenever you use an electrical
appliance outside. I would advise against using the All-Power in heavy rain.
Exposing it to too much moisture may harm it. I would also suggest storing itinside.
If you store it outdoors, the moisture in the atmosphere may cause the engine to rust.
While the engine is easy to replace, we want all our customers to enjoy their products
problems-free for as long as is possible. Take good care of your All-Power and it
will give you many years of service.
Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any more questions.
Yours sincerely
Albert R. Jones
Consumer Relations, Tidy Tools

Câu 38: Bolsa Report
May 11
Land donation will buffer housing from retail in Bolsa.
A deal between the City of Bolsa and a developer, Mr White will separate a retail
development from existing housing on Main Street and Star Circle with green
spaces.
Linda Hamilton, through Walton Development LLC, plans to develop six lots on 12
acres into a retail center off Lampson immediately south of Harbor Lane. "The city
and developer have worked out an agreement where the city will get a portion of the
remaining property on two parcels of land which is large enough for about two
houses," said Stephanie Klee. "To build two houses on the site would probably
require the creation of a private drive." she said.
“The land donation is significant because part of the property was zoned for high
density residential, which could have ended up being apartments," said Mayor Kris
Simpson. “The city's very excited about this,” Simpson said. “Mr. White has been
very cooperative with the council."
The land being donated will be beyond a retention pond to be built for the retail
center. The retail center is adjacent to another White development of five-story
office condominiums. "It should provide a very nice buffer between the retail
developments and the residential areas," Mr White said.
