Hello. Is this where I can book a dog sled (vehicle that moves over snow) ride? It is. Are you looking to ride as a passenger (person riding but not driving) or would you like to drive your own? I can drive my own dog sled (vehicle that moves over snow), but I don't know how. Our dogs are very well trained (taught to do something). I'll tell you everything you need to know. Okay, sign me up for the drive, not the ride. That is. And would you like the hour-long trip or the overnight (for one night) trip? The hour-long trip, please. That'll be $75. Then will you be paying by credit card? Yes. Just give me a second to find it. It always gets lost at the bottom of my purse. Ah, here it is. Thanks. Now, we just need you to read and sign this waiver (paper saying you accept a risk). H I'm afraid your credit card has been declined (not accepted). Oh, I'm sorry. I forgot I put several souvenirs (things bought to remember a place) on it last night. Here, try this card instead.
- A) Her card is refused.
- B) She used a debit card.
- C) They don’t accept credit cards.
- D) Her credit card expired.

Hello. May I please speak to Manaz? Manaz isn't home at the moment. Can I take a message? I'm calling from the Gazette. Manaz was a subscriber (person who pays to receive something regularly (often)) last year, and we're now offering a special promotion (special offer) for our former (past; before now) customers. Oh, I see. Well, Manaz will be home later this afternoon. It is a very good deal we're offering. Perhaps you would also be interested. Can I tell you a little bit more about it? Well, I'm a little bit um busy, but it will only take a few minutes. Sure, I guess so. Wonderful. What we're offering is daily delivery (bringing something to someone) of the gazette for the price of the weekend papers only. What that means is you'll get 7 days of delivery (bringing something to someone) for the price of just 2 days. So today, for a limited time only, it's a weekly cost of only $3.75. That's a 50% discount (lower price) off our normal price of $7.50. That does sound like a good deal. And I do enjoy reading the free gazette articles available (ready to use) online. It might be nice to have access (way to use or get something) to the whole newspaper though instead of just one article from each section. But I'm always wary (careful because you are not sure) of promotions that are for a limited time only. When will the price go up and can I cancel (stop an order or service) when it does? I understand your concerns. The Price will go up after 3 months, but you can cancel (stop an order or service) at any time. You've really got nothing to lose by trying it out. H, you've almost convinced (made someone believe or agree) me, but I'd like to talk to Manage first and we'll decide together. Can you call us back later this week? Absolutely (yes; certainly). I will call later this week. And who should I ask for when I call? You can ask for either me or Manage. I don't know your name. Oh, of course. Yeah. My name is Amir. Thank you, Amir. I will be in touch later this week.
- A) Manaz was a customer in the past.
- B) He is a regular customer.
- C) His name was on her list.

Cheryl, do you have a minute? You might not have heard, but the university has decided to rent out its classrooms to the public (all people in the community) when not in use by a course. We're hoping to raise funds (money for a purpose) for some much-needed renovations (repairs (fixing broken things) and improvements). Diane will continue to book the rooms for our courses, but I'd like you to handle queries (questions) from the community (people living in an area). Sure. What's involved? I'm not familiar (knowing something well) with the booking software (computer program). I've only used it once. No worries. First, open the booking form. See, just ask for their information and fill it in. The person's name, address, phone number, etc. That's easy enough. Will they already know which room they want to book? No, you'll have to help them figure that out. Just open up the rooms list here. It lists all the rooms indicating size, location (place), and so on. I think I'll print that list and go check out the rooms around campus (school or university area). It'll give me a better idea of what to recommend (say something is a good idea). Good idea. For example, if they're going to give a lecture (talk given to teach people), they'll want one of the auditoriums. If they're holding a workshop (class where people practice a skill), one of the classrooms. And of course, Some classrooms have tables and chairs that can be moved. Others have desks bolted into the floor. So, let's say someone is holding a first aid certification (official proof of training) course. They'd probably want a medium-sized classroom and to be able to move the tables and chairs. I think I got it. When I walk around later, I'll also make note of which rooms are near washrooms and which ones are near a main entrance. You never know what people will want. Excellent. Now, the price list is here. Do they send the payment to us? No. Once the booking form is complete, send a copy to them and a copy to Michael in finance (money department). He'll send them an invoice (bill showing what must be paid) and follow up if they don't pay on time. Okay. Anything else? If what they want isn't available (ready to use), shall I suggest they contact the community (people living in an area) center? No. Tell them you'll get back to them, then call Diane. She may be able to reschedule (change to another time) the class using the requested (asked for) room. We really need the revenue (money a business or place receives), so I'd like to pursue (try to do or get) that option (choice) first. Okay, no problem.

When I walk around later, I'll also make note of which rooms are near washrooms and which ones are near a main entrance. You never know what people will want. Excellent. Now, the price list is here. Do they send the payment to us? No. Once the booking form is complete, send a copy to them and a copy to Michael in finance (money department). He'll send them an invoice (bill showing what must be paid) and follow up if they don't pay on time. Okay. Anything else? If what they want isn't available (ready to use), shall I suggest they contact the community (people living in an area) center? No. Tell them you'll get back to them, then call Diane. She may be able to reschedule (change to another time) the class using the requested (asked for) room. We really need the revenue (money a business or place receives), so I'd like to pursue (try to do or get) that option (choice) first. Okay, no problem.

Cheryl, do you have a minute? You might not have heard, but the university has decided to rent out its classrooms to the public (all people in the community) when not in use by a course. We're hoping to raise funds (money for a purpose) for some much-needed renovations (repairs (fixing broken things) and improvements). Diane will continue to book the rooms for our courses, but I'd like you to handle queries (questions) from the community (people living in an area). Sure. What's involved? I'm not familiar (knowing something well) with the booking software (computer program). I've only used it once. No worries. First, open the booking form. See, just ask for their information and fill it in. The person's name, address, phone number, etc. That's easy enough. Will they already know which room they want to book? No, you'll have to help them figure that out. Just open up the rooms list here. It lists all the rooms indicating size, location (place), and so on. I think I'll print that list and go check out the rooms around campus (school or university area). It'll give me a better idea of what to recommend (say something is a good idea). Good idea. For example, if they're going to give a lecture (talk given to teach people), they'll want one of the auditoriums. If they're holding a workshop (class where people practice a skill), one of the classrooms. And of course, Some classrooms have tables and chairs that can be moved. Others have desks bolted into the floor. So, let's say someone is holding a first aid certification (official proof of training) course.

Street magician Carson Wit has been arrested and charged with stealing from his audiences. The 26-year-old performer has been traveling around Canada for the last 4 months, amazing people with his slight of hand. One of his best known tricks is to ask an audience member for a $20 bill, rip it into shreds, then pull the same bill unharmed out of an orange. Wit was performing at the Winnipeg Folk Festival when he got caught. 12-year-old Patricia Woo had the insight to take a picture of the serial number of her $20 bill with her dad's cell phone before she handed it over to Wit. When he returned it to Patricia, she announced it wasn't the same tracking number. She'd been doing a school project on counterfeit bills and noted that the new $20 bill didn't have raised ink on the large number of the bill like it should have. She told her father, who alerted security, Wit was found with a stack of fake 20s in his possession. Although this does not happen regularly (often), police warn festival goers to be careful with their money.
- A) asked her father for another $20 bill.
- B) took a picture of her $20 bill.
- C) took a picture of the magician.
- D) wrote down the serial number.

Good morning and welcome to Monday's edition of the Daily Buzz. This is Nathan Cooper reporting. Calgary City Council (group of people who make decisions for a town) is currently negotiating a controversial proposal in relation to the demolition of Henley Car Factory, an abandoned factory located at the east edge of town. Developer George Nelson of Nelson Development Company feels that the area has significant economic potential and has put forward a proposal to develop several apartment buildings and retail shops on the newly cleared land. Accordingly, he has requested (asked for) that the area be rezoned for residential and retail space. However, not all members of the community (people living in an area) are happy with this request. Eleanor Wentworth, a high school teacher and mother of two, has spearheaded a campaign against further development in the area, stating that community (people living in an area) rather than economic interests should take precedence. She argues that the area is primarily composed of families with children who need a safe place to play and that as it is there is already insufficient green space. Furthermore, she emphasizes that they live in a tight-knit community (people living in an area) and fears that a more densely populated neighborhood (area where people live) could put this at risk since living in a highly populated area often makes it less likely that one will know their neighbors. As such, Wentworth and her supporters would instead like to see the old car factory replaced by a large park. Nelson has countered such criticisms by stating that his proposal does in fact leave adequate room for green space. Included in the proposal is the cleaning up of Stanley Creek, a nearby creek which has long been clogged with garbage. The rehabilitated creek would then be turned into a nature walkway for residents. Additionally, Nelson points out that the development of high-density apartment buildings actually helps preserve green space by preventing urban sprawl. Furthermore, with regards to retail operations, he plans for no more than four or five small family-owned shops. This, he insists, would actually help to build community (people living in an area) by maintaining a localized economy. City Council (group of people who make decisions for a town) member Emma Our wonders if there is the potential for compromise within the opposing camps. She believes the factory area is large enough to hold both a medium-sized park as well as several apartment buildings or shops. Since the creek runs in a fairly straight line along the north side of the factory, she suggests that the park be built alongside the creek. This would maintain (keep going) adequate green space for both a walking trail as well as a play area for children and youth. The rest of the land could then be rezoned for residential and retail purposes. She is currently discussing her proposal with both parties.
- A) are a good option for families with children.
- B) can help to preserve green space.
- C) could be built in addition to a park.
- D) could put her community at risk.
