Practice Test 5

Passage 1:

Three – Day Forecast

Friday March 22: Residents should carry their umbrellas because there is an 85 percent chance of heavy rain. Morning temperatures will be in the low 70’s and are expected to drop to around 65 in the mid-afternoon.

Saturday March 23: If you’re planning any outdoor activities, then this is the day to schedule them. Thanks to a warm westerly wind, temperatures are forecasted to be in high 80’s, about five degrees warmer than we might usually expect at this time of the year. Remember to wear sunscreen and drink lots of water.

Sunday March 24: Make sure you enjoy the sunshine on Saturday, because on Sunday temperatures will drop to the low 60’s. There will be some sun in the morning but the afternoon will be mostly cloudy.

Passage 2:

From: Belinda Pushkin
To: All sales staff
Subject: Company picnic

Hello, I just wanted to let everyone know that the Tollins company picnic has been cancelled because there is a chance of rain on the day we originally chose. As you know, we wanted to have the picnic outdoors so that employees could participate in a variety of team-building exercises.

We asked the Humble Country Club if we could hold the lunch in their Club House instead, but unfortunately they told us that Plymouth Autos will be holding a special banquet to celebrate their 25^th anniversary there.

Attached to this email is an Employee Preference Form. I am asking all employees to list their preferred date for the reschedule company picnic. I sincerely hope that we can accommodate everyone’s schedule. Please fill out the form and email it to me by Thursday, March 21^st at 3 p.m.

Regards
Belinda Pushkin
