From: Justin Scott <scott-j@hernandez property.com>
Date: August 26
Subject: our discussion on telephone

Dear Ms. Reed

Thank you for your inquiry in response to some of the commercial properties that we have currently
available for you. You have mentioned that you want a downtown location for your new retail
business. Also, I gather from our last conversation that since your business is fairly new, the prices
for most of our advertised properties may not match your budget.

As we discussed, I would like to show you the retail space located on the ground floor an apartment
building. I am aware that you are searching for a location with plenty of parking spaces for customers;
although there are no designated parking spots near this building, there is a municipal parking garage
close to the building which serves the entire historic district.

If this interests you, please contact me, and I would be more than happy to show you the property
sometime this week.

Sincerely,
Justin Scott

follow.

He couldn't believe it. He glanced at his watch and then back to the line of people. What
could be taking so long? Tapping his foot impatie0ntly, he reached for his cell phone. He would just
have to call his wife and let her know that he would be late, again. He wasn't sure how she would
take it. Rolling his eyes, he punched in the numbers and waited for her to answer.
1. Which word best describes the tone of the passage?
1. Frustrated 2. Selfish 3. Funny 4. Cold

You might think that an experience like this would make us nervous about flying again. But
it didn't. Sure, we were a little on edge the next time we took off, but it didn't last. And actually,
everyone agreed that Dad had taken all reasonable care, and no one blamed him for what had
happened. Now I feel safer than ever in the air. That trip reminded me that the Flight Service and
tower people are always out there ready to give pilots a hand if they need one.
2. Which word best describes how the narrator feels about flying?
1. Insecure 2. Confident 3. Scared 4. Fascinated

With controlled television viewing, the job of bringing up your children the way you desire
is enormously simplified. You will be the one to formulate what is really important to you and to
your children. With less television your children will be the benefactor of a richer life through books,
art, and creative play. They will be the source of their own entertainment, and they will discover
their own resources. They will learn from the whole range of human experience and be able to
choose their own pathway more intelligently.
Purpose:
1. To inform readers of study results on the benefits of controlled television viewing
2. To persuade readers that controlled television viewing is beneficial
3. To entertain readers with dramatic images about children
Tone:
1. critical and pessimistic
2. sympathetic and forgiving
3. impassioned and optimistic
 How tired I am of the constant griping I hear about the United States Postal Service. Why
can't people recognize a bargain when they see one? Do you realize what services your first-class
stamp guarantees you? For only pennies, your urgent letter may cross the country-even to Hawaii
or Alaska in only a few days. For that same small amount, you may have your mail forwarded when
you move. In some cases, the same piece of mail can be forwarded more than once-all on one
stamp. It's high time to stop complaining about the Postal Service and support it instead.

Purpose:
1. To inform readers of postal services that are available
2. To persuade readers to appreciate the Postal Service
3. To entertain readers with postal anecdotes
Tone:
1. matter-of-fact
2. indignant
3. tolerant
