Themenquiz 2: Part 1: Reading Correspondence

  1. Frage 1 von 18

    What is the main purpose of Priya's email?

    From: Priya Natarajan
    To: Daniel Okafor
    Subject: Saturday clean-up at Riverbend Park

    Hi Daniel,

    I hope you and your family are settling into the neighbourhood. I'm the volunteer coordinator for the Riverbend Community Association, and I wanted to tell you about our spring clean-up. It will take place this Saturday, May 10, from 9 a.m. to noon at Riverbend Park. We'll meet beside the playground.

    Last year, about thirty neighbours came out, and we filled more than forty bags with litter and fallen branches. This year the city has agreed to lend us gloves, litter pickers and bags, so you don't need to bring any tools. Just wear sturdy shoes and clothes that can get dirty. If it rains, we will move the event to Sunday at the same time.

    I'm writing to you in particular because Mrs. Chen mentioned that you used to run a landscaping business. A few garden beds near the park entrance have become badly overgrown, and we would really value advice from someone with your experience. Even an hour of your time would make a big difference.

    After the clean-up, the association will host a barbecue for all volunteers. Hot dogs and veggie burgers will be served, and children are welcome.

    Could you let me know by Thursday whether you can join us? That way I can make sure we buy enough food.

    Best regards,
    Priya

    Why does Sandra want to change shifts?

    Message from Sandra to Ahmed:

    Hi Ahmed,

    I have a favour to ask. My daughter's school concert has been moved to next Friday, the 19th, at 7 p.m. I'm scheduled to work the closing shift at the store that night, from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m. Would you be able to take my shift?

  13. Frage 13 von 18

    How does Jordan know Mei?

    Hi Mei,

    It's been almost two years since I left Northshore Dental, and I still miss our Friday lunches! I hope the new office layout is working out for everyone.

    I'm writing because I've applied for an office manager position at a medical clinic in Kelowna. The hiring manager has asked for two references who have supervised me or worked closely with me. Since you trained me when I first started at the front desk, you know my work better than almost anyone. Would you be willing to be one of my references?

    If you agree, someone from the clinic may phone you in the next two weeks. The call should take about ten minutes. They will probably ask how I handled scheduling, billing questions and difficult patients, so I thought you might like a little time to think about it. I've also attached my updated résumé so you can see what I've been doing since I left.

    I completely understand if you're too busy right now. Just let me know either way, and there will be no hard feelings.

    Warmly,
    Jordan
