on

your

performance

at

an

interview.

For

those who

are well

prepared, it can be a positive

21

┄┄┄

but for others it can be a terrifying time. Love them or

hate

them,

though,

your

22

┄┄

prospects

are

largely

dependent

on

your

interview

23

┄┄┄

.

It’s not unusual for a company to have fifty or sixty applicants for a job, so if you are asked to

24

┄┄┄

an interview, you are a serious contender being seriously considered for the post.

Usually companies give you at least a day

’s

25

┄┄┄

of an interview, so use that time to prepare

yourself well Read through the job

26

┄┄┄

and any other information sent to you, and

27

┄┄

┄

answers to as many questions as you can think of.

At

the

interview

to

present

28

┄┄┄

the

employer

that

you

can

do

the

job,

but

you

mustn’t

over-confident.

Being

pleasant,

however,

doesn’t

mean

that

you

should

agree

with

everything

that

the

interviewer

says.

Most

companies want to

┄┄┄

someone with his or her own opinions.

It’s

also

important

to

make

31

┄┄┄

that

you

really

listen

to

what

is

being

asked.

In

your

preparation

you will

have

rehearsed

answers

to

a

number

of

imaginary

questions,

but

you

must

tailor your response to

┄┄┄

the question.

It’s worthwhile sp

Dear Miss Brown,

Thank you for your letter of 5 October, concerning

(example)

┄┄

goods purchased in our store

in Basingstoke.

I am very sorry indeed that you were not satisfied with the celebration chocolates that you bought

from our store. I can

21

┄┄

your disappointment when you discovered that the chocolates were

not as shown on the

22

┄┄

and were, in

23

┄┄

, all the same shape.

Our

company

is

always

trying

to

improve

the

24

┄┄

its

merchandise,

and

we

are

very

unhappy when one of our products does not

satisfaction.

The manufacturers of our chocolates have

26

┄┄

guidelines for production, which should

┄

instances

such

as

this

from

happening.

Obviously

our checking

and

procedures were

not

In the

29

┄┄

, I regret the disappointment you were

30

┄┄

. As a gesture of goodwill, I have

pleasure in refunding the

31

┄┄

of the chocolates, and enclose a gift voucher that you can

32

┄

┄

in our Basingstoke branch.

Thank you for bringing this matter to our

33

┄┄

. I hope any future purchases you may

34

at our stores will be up to our

high standards.

Dear Mr. Ratanara,

Re: Removal of business equipment from Singapore to Hong Kong

Thank you for your telephone enquiry. I am

(example)

┈┈┈

to provide you with the quotation

that you requested.

21

┈┈┈

addition to this, I am including further details of our service. The

price is

22

┈┈┈

on the items that you mentioned in your phone cal and will, of course, vary if

you decide to add extra items or

23

┈

some.

In

order

to

keep

the cost

as

low

as

24

┈┈┈

, we

will

move

your

equipment when

it

is most

convenient for us. We will try to

25

┈┈┈

your move with those of other clients who ask us to

transport goods at around the same time. I am sure you will

26

┈┈┈

that if we were to make a

special trip just for your equipment the cost would be much

27

┈┈┈

. This means that

28

┈┈

┈

you

requested

a

move

on

23

June,

this

precise

date

may

not

be

possible.

However,

we

regularly

transport

goods

29

┈┈┈

Singapore

and

Hong

Kong,

and

we

would

30

┈┈┈

to

be

able to move your equipment within two or three days of your requested date.

The

31

┈┈┈

does not include packing. I understand that you prefer to

32

┈┈┈

out your own

packing since

33

┈┈┈

of your equipment is quite fragile.

I hope that these initial details meet with your

34

┈┈┈

, and ask that you do not hesitate to

35< /p>

┈

┈┈

us if you require any further advice.

Y

ours sincerely,

Where and How to Raise Finance

by

A

J McKeon

The search for capital often begins and ends with a bank manager, but

36.

it doesn't need to be that way

. A

visit to the bank may be the first

37.

step in a difficult hunt but it shouldn't to be the only one. Funding

38.

arrangements are developing constantly and the number of sources

39.

is growing up. This book is a comprehensive guide written in an

40.

accessible format with the lists of possible sources and how to make the most of them.

Questions 36-40

Executives traveling internationally know all about the horrors of phoning

36

to home from abroad. They will be familiar with large hotel phone bills

37

and the problems involved in trying to find the right local coins

38

for the payphone or trying to communicate with foreign operators.

World Telecom knows all about these problems so it has been introduced

Call costs are far lower than with competitors, and the card is simple to use.

UNIVERSITY OF CAMBRIDGE LOCAL EXAMINATIONS SYNDICATE

Hamson Bell yesterday announced a range of new products which

36

it hopes will make it to the world’s leading pencil manufacturer by

37

the year of 2010. The company is currently in third position in

38

terms of market share, behind KPX and Unipen. Achieving its goal

39

of number one position might be difficult, according to opinions

40

market analysts, because its competitors are also working

extremely hard to increase their market share.
