Quiz tematico 2: Content and context: stated information and main ideas

  1. Domanda 1 di 18

    According to the notice, how long does a parking ban last if the Town does not end it early?

    Snow Route Parking Ban – Town of Pine Hollow

    When more than 5 cm of snow falls, the Town will declare a parking ban on all marked snow routes. The ban starts at 7 p.m. on the day it is announced and lasts for 48 hours, unless the Town ends it sooner.

    During a ban, vehicles parked on a snow route may be ticketed and towed at the owner's expense. Snow route signs are blue with a white snowflake.

    You can find out about a ban in three ways: sign up for text alerts on the Town website, follow the Town on social media, or call the 24-hour information line. Local radio stations also share ban news, but the Town's own channels are updated first.

    Residents who have no driveway may park free of charge in the arena lot on Birch Street during a ban.

    Risposta: D. 48 hours

    The notice says the ban "lasts for 48 hours, unless the Town ends it sooner." This is a detail stated directly in the text.

    Where will employees see their shifts after March 3?

    Subject: New shift app starts Monday

    Hi team,

    Starting Monday, March 3, we will stop posting paper schedules in the lunchroom. Instead, you will see your shifts in the ShiftLink app on your phone or on the computer by the time clock.

    Please download the app this week and log in with your employee number. If you have trouble, Dana in HR can help you on Thursday or Friday between 1 and 3 p.m.

    Shift swaps will also move to the app. You will still need a supervisor to approve each swap, but you will no longer need to fill out the yellow form.

    One thing is not changing: vacation requests still go to me by email at least two weeks ahead.

    Thanks for your patience while we make the switch.

    According to Priya Nandal, why did the library start lending these items?

    Library lends more than books

    Harbourview Public Library has started lending items that most people need only once in a while. Since September, card holders have been able to borrow a sewing machine, a stud finder, a telescope or one of 40 other items for up to seven days.

    "People told us they were buying things they used once and then stored for years," said branch manager Priya Nandal. "Sharing saves money and space, and it keeps items out of the landfill."

    The program has been popular. In its first two months, items were borrowed 610 times, and there is now a waiting list for the pressure washer.

    Not everyone is convinced. Hardware store owner Glen Byrne says the library is competing with local businesses. "We rent some of these tools too, and we pay taxes," he said.

    Nandal says the library will add more items next spring, chosen through a survey of members. Items must be returned clean. There are no late fees, but borrowers who keep an item more than two weeks past its due date will have their account paused.

    According to the notice, what should a worker do first after getting hurt?

    Northline Foods – What to do if you are hurt at work

    1. Get first aid right away, even for a small cut or strain. First aid kits are by every exit.
    2. Tell your supervisor before the end of your shift. If your supervisor is not available, tell the shift lead.
    3. Fill out an Incident Report form within 24 hours. Forms are in the binder at the safety board, or you can ask HR for one.
    4. If you see a doctor, give HR a copy of any notes about work you cannot do. HR will work with you and your supervisor to find safe duties while you heal.

    Why report small injuries? A minor sprain today can turn into a long-term problem. A report also helps us find hazards and fix them before someone else is hurt.

    According to the writer, what helped his English the most at first?

    When I arrived in Calgary at thirty-four, I could order a coffee in English and not much else. Words flew past me in meetings like birds I could not name. For the first year, I nodded a lot.

    What changed things was not a class but a hockey game. My neighbour, Doug, invited me to watch his daughter play. I understood almost nothing he said, but he kept talking anyway, pointing and explaining, laughing at his own jokes. By the third period, I knew "offside," "penalty" and "What a save!"

    I began to see that a language is not only learned at a desk. It grows in kitchens, rinks and bus shelters, wherever people are patient enough to keep talking.

    Today I lead meetings in English. I still don't understand offside.

    Risposta: B. Watching hockey with a talkative neighbour

    In Text B, why will new hires spend their first three months in the office?

    Text A – From a worker's blog

    Since my office let us work from home two days a week, I have more energy. I skip a 50-minute commute, so I sleep longer and start work fresh. I also get more done on quiet tasks, like writing reports. I do miss my co-workers, though. Our office days are now the days I save for meetings and problem-solving.

    Text B – From a manager's newsletter

    Our hybrid schedule has worked better than I expected. Reports arrive on time, and staff say they are less tired. Still, I have noticed that new employees learn more slowly when the team is apart. A quick question that took ten seconds at a desk can now take an hour by email. For that reason, new hires will spend their first three months fully in the office.

    Risposta: B. They learn more slowly when the team is apart

    The manager says new employees learn more slowly when the team is apart, "for that reason" new hires will work in the office.

    Which detail supports the writer's claim that the bus "had another surprise"?

    Bus or car? One commuter's experiment

    For one month, I drove to work. The next month, I took the bus. Here is what I found.

    Driving was faster. My trip took about 20 minutes each way, compared with 35 minutes by bus. But the car cost more. Between gas and parking, I spent about $310 that month. My monthly bus pass was $112.

    The bus had another surprise: I got my reading back. In 35 minutes, I could finish a chapter of a book or answer my emails. In the car, my hands and eyes were busy.

    On the other hand, the bus did not always fit my life. On days when I had to pick up my son from hockey practice, the transfer added almost half an hour.

    So which won? For me, a mix. I now take the bus three days a week and drive on hockey days.

    Risposta: B. He could read or answer emails on the way

    The surprise was that he "got his reading back": in 35 minutes he could finish a chapter or answer emails.

    What evidence does the letter writer give that a bike lane can help stores?

    Letter to the editor: Give Main Street a chance

    Every spring, city council asks how to bring shoppers back downtown. Every spring, the answer is the same: more parking. I think it is time to try something different.

    Last year, the town of Elm Falls replaced 30 parking spots on its main street with a protected bike lane and wider sidewalks. According to the town's own count, foot traffic rose by 18 per cent in the first summer. Store owners who had fought the plan now hold sidewalk sales every weekend.

    Some people say that our winters are too long for cycling. But a bike lane is not only for bikes. In Elm Falls, the lane is cleared first after a snowfall, so it also gives people with strollers and wheelchairs a safe path.

    Of course, change is hard. Nobody likes to circle the block looking for a spot. But are we really building a downtown for cars, or for people?

    I urge council to try a one-year pilot. If it fails, the paint can be removed. If it works, we will wonder why we waited so long.

    Andrea Kowalczyk, Main Street resident

    Mostra la risposta

    Risposta: A. Foot traffic in Elm Falls rose by 18 per cent

    The Elm Falls count of an 18 per cent rise in foot traffic, and the new sidewalk sales, are her evidence. The other sentences do not show that stores were helped.
