Questions 95 through 97 refer to the following excerpt from a meeting.
(M-Au) It's time to start planning the fall travel section that we publish every September. And, 95this year, we've
decided to have the summer interns write most of it. It's a good long-term project for them, and it will solve our
biggest problem from last summer. That was the first time that we'd used interns to work on news articles for the
weekday editions — which seemed like a good idea, but I'm sure you all remember how time-consuming it was
giving the interns daily feedback on their articles. And, unfortunately, 96some of us missed important deadlines for
our own pieces. So, this summer, everyone will have mentoring assignments just once a week, rather than daily.
Please take a look at your calendars and then e-mail me the days when you're free to mentor someone.
