MEMO

To: Westhauser Laboratories Staff
From: Area manager
Date: March 22
Re: Break-time beverages

  

Beginning immediately, staff members are asked to contribute toward the cost of hot beverages available in our kitchenette. For each cup of coffee or tea you pour for yourself, we are requesting that you leave fifty cents. Please note that this amount is still far less than what you would pay at the cafe next to our building.

Each time you prepare a beverage, just place your payment in the marked can on the counter next to the sink. As in the past, a variety of high-quality tea and coffee supplies will be made available, and products will be restocked monthly. Your understanding is appreciated so that everyone can continue to enjoy conveniently located hot beverages throughout the workday.

Spectacular Bridge Created with Super Cranes

By Marcia Brunon

March 14

Five years ago, the town of Stonewell, situated at the foot of the Marshall Mountains, decided to finance the building of a bridge across the Stonewell River. It was planned as a much-needed northern route for the town. - [1] - . The efficiency of the project was directly attributable to two RWC451 cranes, manufactured by Ronsonworks, a company based in England.

The two identical tower cranes were owned by the construction firm Redding Builders. One crane was assembled at the south bank of the river, while the other one was placed on a concrete pylon in the center of the Stonewell River. - [2] -. The assembly of the second crane was particularly challenging, as it required the use of another crane on a floating barge.

"Any large project is going to require unforeseen adjustments that may disrupt an official construction schedule," said Roger Lee, chief engineer of Redding Builders. - [3] - . In this case, the metal anchors that connected the bridge to the pylons were determined to be too small. The new anchors weighed 22 tons, which is within the safe lifting capacity of an RWC451 crane. - [4] - . Engineers reinforced the existing cranes for extra security, and the cranes performed well.

Today, this postcard-worthy bridge is the pride of Stonewell, featuring viewing platforms for pedestrians, hikers, and visitors at the base of each pier overlooking the mountainous valley. Construction materials and colors harmonize beautifully with the local environment. All design elements, including the piers, viewing platforms, and railings, complement the natural landscape, making the bridge a hit with everyone from hikers to the truck drivers who now include it in their regular route.



172. What is mentioned about the cranes?





173. What is indicated by Mr. Lee?





174. What is NOT suggested about the Stonewell Bridge?





175. In which of the positions marked [1], [2], [3], and [4] does the following sentence best belong?
“The project, which was expected to take four years, was completed in less than three.”




Questions 176 - 180 refer to the following memo and schedule.

To: Absalom and Twigg Law Firm employees
From: Shawna Montgomery, Office Manager
Subject: March plans
Sent: February 12
Attachment: Schedule

  

As most of you are aware, our schedule will be a bit challenging during the first week in March. Various rooms and offices will need to be vacated for certain periods to allow work crews to repaint, recarpet, and replace old furniture. Affected employees will need to box up all their office items by 3 P.M. on the day before their room is scheduled for work (please see the attached schedule). Two teams of workers will be on-site, so more than one room at a time will need to be vacated. Note that any rooms due for work on Monday must be packed up and vacated by Friday afternoon, February 27.

Boxes will be provided. Leave your boxes in the rooms for the work crews to remove. Please label them with your name and office number so that the crews can return them to the correct offices once the work is complete.

Please make arrangements to continue working on your assignments while the work crews are in your rooms. The conference room (Room 409) will remain available to be used as a workspace during the entire week. Another possible option is to request permission from your supervisor to telecommute for one or two days.

Please have patience with these temporary inconveniences and do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or concerns.

I accepted a new position in Burlington and need to relocate near the downtown area before my start date on August 15. I'm seeking a simple, clean, one-bedroom rental or larger, depending on price.

Special purchase price: $319.00/KU Club Members: $299.00

www.kitchenwareutopia.com/C3/reviews/454

Rating: ★ ★ ★ ★ ★

Review: This product is amazing! I work as a caterer, and I've used a lot of different food processors. Kitchenware Utopia's C3 is by far the best I've found. Its motor is very powerful, and the many different blades and settings make it extremely versatile. The settings are also straightforward. It's expensive but well worth the investment, and since I'm a loyalty club member, the price was reasonabl e. My only complaint would be that it's very heavy and therefore not as portable as I'd hoped. Overall, though, I'm exceptionally satisfied with this product.

Posted by Eli Perles on March 27

We are very glad to hear you are happy with our C3 food processor. Customer satisfaction - is our number one priority. We would like to respond to your complaint and provide a suggestion regarding your concerns. Our C2 processor might be better suited to your professional needs. The C2 offers the same motor size as the C3, but it is much smaller than the C3 in general. However, this model does cost slightly more than the C3. You can view the product description by visiting www.kitchenwareutopia.com/C2.

Ment Hall to Host Piasek Cup Final

  

Ment Hall, which is currently undergoing extensive renovation, will be ready to host the final game of the Piasek Cup Volleyball Championship to be held in Warsaw this June. Although the project has been in the works for some time, it was the opportunity to host this championship that provided the economic incentive to push the project to its completion. City officials have confirmed that the construction is progressing according to schedule and will be complete well before the finals of the championship.

Since Ment Hall is the only major arena in the country that has never hosted a Piasek Cup event, the hall's owners were proud to have been chosen to host this year's finale. The final game will inaugurate the refurbished hall. The event is expected to draw thousands of volleyball fans, and the organizers are confident that Ment Hall will live up to the occasion. Seating 19,000 spectators, Ment Hall will be double its previous size.
