To our delight, we have received more than twice as many registrations this year as we had for previous seminars.

Subject: Re: Registration
Dear seminar staff,
My name is Jared Fuller, director of overseas marketing with WishboneEntertainment, and I submitted my original registration for the event on July 17. Per your request, I am writing to confirm my plans to attend the 6th annual PrincetonBusiness Strategies Seminar.
However, in the interest of helping you better estimate the total number of participants, I should inform you that I will only be present during the first two days of the seminar. My colleague at Wishbone, Sarah Waitsfield, will take my place for the remainder of the event. She has submitted a separate registration, but I suppose for your purposes you may count the two of us as one participant, since we will not both be attending at the same time.
Thank you, and I look forward to the conference.

Dear LuggageDepot,
I am contacting you again regarding compensation for theCalvin King Luggage Set I ordered from your fall catalog under the invoice number above for $ 375. The price was appealing to me since it normally sells for over $400. I was also happy that the items actually arrived at my home three days ahead of schedule. However, within a few days the zipper on the suitcase broke and I discovered that its color had fadeD、This was disappointing, since the product advertisements stated how durable the items were.

I hope you can resolve this matter as soon as possible if you wish to retain me as a customer.

Dear Ms.Chow,
Please accept our apologies for the delay in resolving issues related to your purchase. We pride ourselves on our excellent customer service record and were disappointed to learn about what happeneD、The representative you
mentioned, Martha, did in fact enter your complaint into our computers. However, that system recently went through an upgrade, and your call transcription appears to have been among some data that was lost at that time.
As to theCalvin King Set, we rarely receive complaints about that product, since it has been so highly rated by customers. It is one of the most popular in our catalogue. We can only assume that the damage you noted occurred while the goods were being shippeD、
I’m afraid that we do not provide refunds on goods, but we will compensate you by offering you gift certificates totaling $200 above the amount of the purchase order in question.
We hope that this experience has not left a negative impression with you about our company, and invite you to shop with us again.

Questions 167-168 refer to the following information.HistoricDowntown Hastings, Minnesota
Early businesses in Hastings were located along the rail line.By 1908 the downtown was beginning to take on an aura of permanency, with brick buildings and important businesses such as a bank, hotel and general store.
These commercial buildings have been turned into fashionable clothing stores and cafes. Today, theEmerald clothing shop and the MiramaxCafe are two of beautifully preserved storefronts that attract hundreds of visitors daily.
In addition to great shopping and delicious food, the Hastings Theater, which has just re-opened after a major renovation project, is located here. The Museum of Photography will open this fall, bringing more of the arts to historic Hastings.
Call the Hastings Theater at (717) 334-6120 for information about show schedules and prices.

New Plan for GalleryDesign
Officials from theArizona state government announced that there will be an architecture design competition for the new Tucson ModernArt Gallery. The competition is the first stage of the construction of the gallery, and it is expected that the whole project will be finished by 2014. The gallery, which will be built on the site of the old town hall, is the focus of the state government’s push to make Tucson and the surrounding region a tourist center for arts and culture.
Government officials are confident that the competition will attract a number of bold and innovative designs. They have invited architects from across the country and from overseas to participate.Architects will send a copy of the proposed design along with a letter explaining their concept.
The competition closes onDecember 12 this year, after which a panel of experts will review the entries and pick a winner. The public’s opinion will also be taken into account, as all entries will be published on a website where people will be able to cast a vote for their favorite design.

Tucson,AZ
Dear SelectionCommittee members,
Thank you for the opportunity to enter this design contest. I think this is a bold and exciting move, and I’m sure you will end up commissioning a brilliant new gallery for Tucson. I can only hope you choose my entry among all the excellent designs you will surely receive.
As a resident of Tucson, I feel I understand this region very well, which is why I think my design has an edge.As anyone living in Tucson knows, this region has an extremely hot and dry climate. What I want to do is provide a refreshing change from that environment.Accordingly, the main concept of my design is the idea of an ice cube. Using just light blue and white walls, and clear panels and windows, my design creates a fantastic visual appeal. From inside the lobby, gallery visitors will actually have the illusion of being inside a block of ice!
I hope you can take the time to view this design in more detail. I’m sure you will agree that it is an impressive and interesting approach.
Regards,
Kelly Matthewson
