Questions 153, 154 refer to the following email. From: Arch Shinzo To: HR Manager Date: April 30 Subject: request
Dear Komiya Trucco,
I am writing to request unpaid time off. Four months after the company relocated me to the Sapporo branch, I found it hard to become accustomed to living away with my family although we video chat on a daily basis. I have to combat the constant desire to spend time with them and therefore can hardly stay focused at work. Obviously most of the mistakes I’ve made in recent weeks can be avoided and fortunately they were not fatal mistakes. Now I regret not taking their advice and getting promoted. I am very apologetic about lost productivity and my struggles with loneliness.
It would be better if I spent some time trying to be at peace with myself and spent quality time with my family to make up for lost time. I believe that very soon I will come back with renewed enthusiasm. So can I have your permission to take two months off starting on June 1?
Thank you for your understanding.
Sincerely yours, Arch Shinzo

Questions 168~171 refer to the following letter. Dear Sir/Madam,
I am writing to express my dismay at the service at your restaurant in High-Hill District of Jolla City on February 2, which was the second day of the soft opening of your restaurant.
I could accept the longer wait than usual at the gate. After all, it was during the long weekend holiday. However, what I couldn’t accept was those cutting in line and that was because no one tried to stop them.
And why were five of us divided to sit at two separate tables? One of my friends and I were even told to share the table with two guests just because there were a lot of diners waiting.
What was more ridiculous was that we were served salmon steaks instead of sirloin ones, which were what we asked for. It had been another one hour since the right dishes were served. During that period, I found it hard to hear what my friends were saying as a result of the background noise.
One of my friends posted part of the unpleasant experience on your Facebook fan page but no staff members of yours have responded to the comment so far. Now that online contact doesn’t work, I am trying to contact you by post, hoping this mail can meet with an immediate response. I need explanations for the mess rather than hollow promises to make improvements.
Yours faithfully,
Ivy Bauer

Questions 181~185 refer to the following article and online comment chain. One year after the Mega-Urban-Bus (the MUB) completed its e-ticketing system, the leading bus company is proud to announce the results of the passenger satisfaction survey and the plans to improve the system.
To gain a clear understanding of passenger experience, the MUB conducted the survey during the second half of last year. The results reveal that the majority of the surveyed passengers are very satisfied when it comes to keeping passengers informed. This has proven guiding and informing passengers in real-time can contribute greatly to a positive experience. Therefore, the MUB has decided to invest more in the solution to integrating the e-ticketing system with the information system so the MUB can monitor operations, provide accurate real-time information for passengers, and react to incidents proactively and effectively.
Approximately ninety percent of the survey participants were full of praise for the new e-ticketing system due mainly to its convenience, such as avoiding long waits in front of a ticket booth. The system allows a passenger to touch-in and touch-out at a smart reader using his or her contactless payment card or device and an app is free to use when a passenger would like to download his or her transaction records, Proof of Top-up or Proof of Travel for bus journeys. In addition, one wow factor the app users stated in the survey was the big discounts not available for passengers paying in cash.
Despite the amazing results, the MUB will continue to encourage the use of the e-ticketing system and the app by advertising the benefits on a variety of social media platforms. A specific example is to launch a series of promo videos made by a few content creators. By then the number of satisfied passengers will hopefully have soared.
The Comment Section
Saber Nawaz ★★★★☆ two days ago A cost-effective way for tourists of getting around the city, but should take prompt action to reduce the length of the waiting time.
Eric Wright ★★☆☆☆ three days ago Every bus is struggling to arrive punctually, which is the biggest issue needed addressing immediately. By the way, the English version of the app is not very user-friendly on account of too many typos.
Laura Caldwell ★☆☆☆☆ one month ago I paid in cash for several bus journeys but soon realized I was overcharged when I found the big discount only offered by the prepaid card service. The staff member at the station information desk said I could never get a refund with apparent indifference.
Jane Lee ★☆☆☆☆ one month ago Very disappointed about long delays EVERY MONDAY TO FRIDAY MORNINGS. This is the exact reason I am late for work.
