To: Benjiro Nozaki and eight others
From: Elena Salazar, Human Resources
Re: Announcement
Date: August 10
Attachment: Schedule
Our new CEO has made the development of our workforce one of Prensley Corporation’s
top priorities. To this end, Human Resources has created a mandatory online training for
you as employees recently promoted to management positions. The New Manager
Training (NMT) program will consist of a two-day session of presentations and discussions
on management. The first day will focus on Prensley’s expectations and general best
practices. On the second day, you will meet an experienced manager from your field to
learn about unique challenges you may face. The sessions have thus been scheduled by
department when possible (see the attached schedule).
Each day of the program will run from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. with a one-hour break starting
at noon. Participants should consider working remotely on those two days to
minimize inconveniences to or interruptions from colleagues.
The training will be held via Vewel videoconference. Please visit www.vewel.com/test
in advance to confirm that your computer and Internet connection can handle the
platform. The Web links giving access to each session will be sent via company e-mail
on the day
before each session begins. For those scheduled to begin on Monday, this will happen on
the previous Friday (August 21).
Please let me know if you have any questions about this information.

Oshiva Sunrise Alarm Clock – Model B50


Let Oshiva help you start your day! Our B50 alarm clock wakes you up just as a sunrise would,
by gradually increasing the intensity of its orange-tinted light.

FEATURES
The LED bulb can be adjusted to five brightness settings, while the speaker plays your choice
of morning birdsong, white noise, or FM radio.

CONNECTIVITY
Connect the B50 with the Oshiva Sleep mobile app to track and optimize your sleep

habits. Price: $159.00 OR $29.00/month for 6 months

www.shoutmarketplace.com/oshiva/B50/reviews/881
Reviewer: Ye-Jin Jeong
Date: February 3

This is my first light-up alarm clock, and I don’t think I’ll ever go back to a regular alarm clock.
The light has helped me wake up with more energy throughout the winter. I only wish the light
were a bit stronger, as even the highest setting doesn’t feel like enough on some mornings.
Anyway, unlike some of the other reviewers here, I don’t mind this clock’s steep price. It’s worth it
for the reliability that comes with the Oshiva name. Plus, I love the extra services you can get, like
the sleep tracking and optimization tips. Overall, I’m satisfied with my purchase.

Rating: ★★★★

Questions 191-195 refer to the following article, schedule, and post on a Web site.

Brumfield Club Ready for Another Exciting Championship


A Brumfield Club spokesperson says that the club is prepared to host another thrilling
Brumfield Championship. The annual tournament for professional tennis players is set to take
place as usual in early July.

The spokesperson, Leigh Garner, says the club has made several improvements to its extensive
facilities since last year. Court 2 has been resurfaced and outfitted with a retractable roof. The
club’s concession offerings now include a third sit-down restaurant and more takeaway options
for those who prefer to picnic. Finally, a large television screen has been installed on the
grassy
hill west of Court 1. Attendees who have grounds passes but not match tickets will be able
to watch some of the major matches on the display.

“The Brumfield Championship is the oldest tennis tournament in the world,” points out Ms.
Garner proudly, “but that doesn’t mean that we shouldn’t offer modern comforts to
spectators.”

Questions 196-200 refer to the following e-mails and property

listing. To: Gregory St. Clair <gsc@samarasapparel.com>

From: May 11
Subject: Date:

Hi Gregory,
Samara Aziz <samara@samarasapparel.com>

New locations

As we discussed, I’d like you to look into new locations for Samara’s Apparel that would
let us carry more merchandise. Specifically, we want a place that’s at least 1,300 square
feet but still has a monthly rent under $2,200. It doesn’t have to be very close to our current
site, but it should still be in the university area. And I’d like a completely empty space, so
that we can arrange our racks freely. Let me know what you find!

Retail/Office Space for Lease at 435 East 57th Street
Posted by: Brigid Rinehart (<b.rinehart@rinehartrealestate.com>), May 13

This 1,450-square-foot ground-floor space, currently undergoing renovation, is


scheduled to be ready for viewing from June 4. In addition to unique arched windows and
two elegant central columns, it will feature new flooring and an updated climate control
system. A five-minute walk from the Phipps University front gate, the bustling location is
perfect for a trendy store or startup. The lease rate is $1,800 per month and includes
insurance, the space’s share of property taxes, and maintenance. Utilities are separate.
A monthly fee of $20 is required for access to the common restrooms in the building’s
hallway. The tenant must pay a security deposit of $2,000 up front. The term of the lease
is negotiable, but longer than one year is preferable.

Dear Ms. Rinehart,

I’m writing in regard to one of your listings on leasline.com. I’m the assistant
manager of Samara’s Apparel, and my boss hopes to move our store into a
new space once our lease ends on July 31. Could you show us the property at
435 East 57th Street? If possible, we’d like to go the day that it becomes ready
for visitors. We are eager to find out if it’s the right place for the store.

Thank you,
