Hi, Margaret,
I’d like first of all to send you my congratulations. As you may have guessed, your interview last Thursday went

tremendously well, and your application for the position in our Paris office has been approved. We’d like you to be ready to
fly on June 4 because you’ll need about a week to get adjusted to your new environment. You’ll begin work orientation on

advantage of the company’s resettlement course, which includes all kinds of benefits. Here is a sample:
• You can update your French with a private tutor before you leave. This will particularly help you with the technical
aspects involved in your new position over there.
• We will give you several seminars on the French legal system and culture.
• Some advice on renting accommodations and paying for services will be covered as well.
As you know, our company has had offices in many different cities around the world for over 15 years, so you really should
make the most of our experience.

any of your questions if I can.
Regards,

Part 3: Read the following passage and choose the best answer for each question (10 points, 2 for each correct answer)
Every year, about 240 million tires - an average of one tire for every person in the United Stares - are discarded.
Currently, U.S. automobile manufacturers are turning 18 million pounds of tires each year into car parts - seals, air
deflectors, and other parts not visible to consumers.
Now, a new process that grinds tires into fine powder and magnetically removes steel belting promises to broaden
the range of recycled products. The end product, a mixture of rubber and plastic, can be molded into vehicle parts, and they
look new. The first product, a brake-pedal pad, is being field tested on fleets of police cars, rental cars, and taxicabs. They
could end up on production vehicles next year. Each recycled tire can produce 250 brake-pedal pads.
