Dear MT representative,

Having recently returned from your company's Treasure of Egypt tour, I'm happy to report that I had a wonderful time. I don’t think I've ever had such an enjoyable and educational vacation. I was particular impressed with how much I learned about history of Egypt, as well as what the country is like today.

All of the guides and other MT employees assisting me during my travels were courteous. Helpful, and very knowledgeable about the fascinating historical sites that I visited. Please extent my thanks especially to Mr. Mokhta Said, who guided me around the Valley of the Kings. That was the highlight of my trip.

I'm going to share my experiences with friends and family, and I will definitely suggest that they travel with MT the next time they take a vacation.

Thank you again,

Leila Dorn

What does Ms. Dorn say she will do?（　）

The National Trust in Britain plays an increasingly important part in the preservation for public enjoyment of the best that is left unspoiled of the British countryside. Although the Trust has received practical and moral support from the government, it is not a rich government department. It is a voluntary association of people who care for the unspoiled countryside and historic buildings of Britain. It is a charity which depends for its existence on voluntary support from members of the public. Its primary duty is to protect places of great natural beauty and places of historical interest.

The attention of the public was the first drawn to the dangers threatening the great old houses and the castles of Britain by the death of the Lord Lothian, who left his great seventeenth-century house to the Trust together with the 4500-acre park and estate surrounding it. This gift attracted wide publicity and started the Trust's "Country House Scheme". Under this scheme, with the help of the Government and the general public, the Trust has been able to save and make accessible to the public about 150 of these old houses. Last year, about 1.75 million people paid to visit these historic houses, usually at a very small charge.

In addition to country houses and open spaces, the Trust now owns some examples of ancient wind and water mills, nature reserves, 540 farms and nearly 2500 cottages or small village houses, as well as some complete villages. In these villages no one is allowed to build, develop or disturb the old village environment in any way and all the houses are maintained in their original 16th century style. Over 4,000 acres of coastline, woodland, and hill country are protected by the Trust and no development or disturbances of any kind are permitted. The public has free access to these areas and is only asked to respect the peace, beauty and wildlife.

Over the past 80 years, the Trust has become a big and important organization and an essential and respected part of national life. It helps to preserve all that and of historical significance not only for future generations of Britons but also for the millions of tourists who each year invade Britain in search of a great historic and cultural heritage.

Who is probably a professionally educated musician?（　）

To: All employees;

From: Facilities Maintenance Office

In the past few weeks, we have been in close contact with head office and security office in the hope of obtaining a certain date by which the south-side parking lot will be resealed. We are now pleased to inform you that this will occur Wednesday, January 5th, from 7 a. m. until 6 p. m

No access will be permitted to the parking lot during this time. All employees are also asked not to walk on the new surface as the fresh asphalt will not be hard enough for at least several hours. Employees will be provided with the use of the parking lots around the Engineering Institute while the car park resealing process is being carried out.

Your cooperation is appreciated.

Hoping that this will not be too inconvenient…

Sincerely yours,

Terence Trent D' Arby

Dear Ms. Walter,

It has come to our attention that you have failed to remit payment for service provided during the two billing periods of 7/15-8/14 and 9/15-10/14 last year.

Our records indicate that multiple bills for these periods have been sent to your address without reply. At this point, we are regrettably required to take stronger measures. If by April 15 we have not received payment in full, including all late fees charged, we will be forced to terminate service to your residence.

For further information about this action, or to verify the amount of your outstanding balance, please call our Customer Service Center at 1-888-555-3802, or write to the following address:

Service representative,

I recently received a notification of outstanding charges on my account. I am very confused and distressed by the situation outlined in your letter.

First of all, I am certain that I paid for all services during the two billing period in question. The payments were on time and for the correct amount. I used your company's automated telephone billing system and paid with my credit card. I am including transaction receipts from my credit card company that list these payments and the dates on which they were processed by your company.

After I had paid then, I did receive multiple bills for the periods 7/15-8/14 and 9/15—10/14 as stated in your letter. I tried repeatedly to report this error to your company via the customer service email system, but I never received a response. I am also attaching copies of these emails for your review.

These documents clearly show that I have made all payments in a timely fashion, and I hope they will help you resolve this situation. If you have any more questions for me, please contact me by phone （555-7690） or email （rwalt79@mzmail.com）.
