Questions 162-164 refer to the following memo.
To: All Staff
From: Angela Romanov, Office Manager Subject: Building improvements
Dear all,
Please remember that the renovation of the entire headquarters building will begin two weeks from
now. The work will take place one floor at a time, starting on the fifth and moving downward. Each

floor is scheduled to take one week to finish. I’ve discussed this with the team leaders, and a solution
has been reached for dealing with workspace concerns during this time.
While your floor is being renovated, space will be made available for you in the conference rooms on
the third floor. When it comes time to renovate the third floor, employees who normally work there
will be redistributed throughout the rest of the building. We are hoping this will not present any
problems since there are only a dozen employees who permanently work on that floor. Those staff
members are asked to wait for further instructions from their team leader.
I apologize in advance for any inconvenience this situation may create over the coming weeks. I am
confident that we can all work together to make the process go as smoothly as possible. If you have
any further queries, please contact your team leaders.
Thank you,
Angela Romanov

Questions 168-171 refer to the following text-message chain.
Helen Coulter
[July 15, 9:54 A.M.]
I hope you are all having a good break. l just heard back from the producer of Timelight this
morning, and they would like to extend Kitchen Belle’s catering contract for another two years. The
studio has renewed the TV series. Shall we keep the same schedule as last year, or would you like to
switch times?
Elaine Painter
[July 15, 10:00 A.M.]
That’s great news! It will guarantee the business a steady income. | know Henry Lincoln usually does
breakfast, but as long as he doesn’t have a problem with it, can I take the morning shift instead of
lunch this time?
Graham Fulton
[July 15, 10:04 A.M.]
It’s fine by him. He’s with me now and just told me so, Elaine. He’d actually prefer midday. As for
me, I want to stick with the breakfast shift. Will there be any extra evening shoots this year?
Helen Coulter
[July 15, 10:05 A.M.]
So Elaine and Graham can do the 7:30-11:00 shift, and Henry and I will do 11:30-3:30. There will be

some evening shifts for extra pay, but none that will end past midnight. In addition, the show will
also be filmed outside the studio this season, so we’ll have to make adjustments. Anyway, we can
discuss that issue when we return from vacation next week.

Will the number of cast and crew be the same?

[July 15, 10:07 A.M.]

Helen Coulter
[July 15, 10:08 A.M.]
Yes, Elaine. There will be a total of 88 to feed rather than 67. And Graham, I think it will be more
work. But they are paying us more, so I think we can afford to hire a couple of food preparation
assistants.
