Memo
To: Jennifer Martin, Sports Equipment Manager
From: Clive Wilbur, Management Committee Chairperson
Re: June 25 Annual General Meeting
I know that you will be unable to attend this year's meeting on the 25' so I am sending you
the agenda now. Please take a look at it before the meeting and give me your opinion on
the items.
We have decided to resurface the tennis courts and need to choose from three contractors.
I will send you their price lists and a voting form later. Everyone at the meeting will have
a chance to vote. As you know, we have suffered a lot of broken windows recently. I
would appreciate it if you could fax me your ideas on how to deal with this problem. The
fourth item on the agenda refers to renting equipment. We will limit rentals to one hour on
weekends and two hours during the week. Only members will be able to rent equipment
on weekends. This brings us to the next item: all members will be required to show their
membership card in order to use the sports center at a discounted price.
Please send me your thoughts as soon as possible, and I will talk to you in person when
you get back from your vacation.
Many thanks.

Questions 5 through 10 refer to the following paragraph.
Most people are afraid of sharks, but they usually do not know very much about them. For
example, there are 350 kinds of sharks, and all of them are meat eaters. Some sharks are very big.
The whale shark is 50 to 60 feet long. But some sharks are very small. The dwarf shark is only 6
inches long.
Sharks are 100 million years old. In fact, they lived at the same time as dinosaurs. Today, sharks
live in every ocean in the world, but most sharks live in warm water. They keep the oceans clean
because they eat sick fish and animals. Most sharks have four to six rows of teeth. When a sharks
tooth falls out another tooth moves in from behind. Sharks do not have ears. However, they hear
sound and movements in the water. Any sound or movement makes the water vibrate. Sharks can
feel these vibrations, and they help the sharks find food. Sharks use their large eyes to find food,
too. Most sharks see best in low light. They often hunt for food at dawn, in the evening, or in the
middle of the night. Scientists want to learn more about sharks for several reasons. For example,
cancer is common in many animals, including people. However, it is rare in sharks. Scientists
want to find out why sharks almost never get cancer. Maybe this information can help people
prevent cancer too.
5. Where do most sharks live?
A. in every ocean in the world

D. in the South Pole

One of the most worst days of my life was when we returned from holiday one summer to find

Revision 4 page 54
video recorder, the stereo and all lot of our records and CDs. All the drawers had were empty. We
phoned out the police, who sent two their officers around very quickly. They looked at the mess, and
asked about a few questions. I asked them if and they checked for fingerprints, but they said that
there was no point. They told to us that it was very unlikely that they would catch the burglars
anyway. We all felt very angry and confused. At the least we were insured, which meant that we
were able to replace nearly everything of. But we couldnt replace the feeling of security that we had
before the burglary happened us. Even today one year later, we still worry about that it may happen
very again.
