SUBJECT: Vacation days
Some changes regarding our company vacation policy here at Johnson & Johnson Incorporated have been made. It is now mandatory for everyone to submit a completed vacation request form at least 2 weeks in advance to get the vacation days you want. This, of course, is the result of the problems we had last year when too many employees took time off in June to see the World Cup. As you know, June was a very busy time for us, and we ran into big problems.
The form is available at the Human Resources Department. You are to fill it out and submit it to your immediate manager to get approval. Once it has been approved, it will also be sent up to me to get my approval. In case your manager feels that the timing of your request is not proper, then he will have the authority to deny your request. Therefore, I suggest that everyone hand in your requests early. Thank you for your cooperat
A. To notify employees of an organizational reshuffling within the company
B. To make an adjustment in the length of vacation days
C. To introduce a new company benefits package
D. To provide an update on a company rule

Miss Yang from China worked as a secretary in a Canadian company. She became friendly with one of the Canadian secretaries, a woman named Cathy Lane. They two usually ate lunch together and Yang often asked Cathy for advice on problems she faced about Canadian society. Cathy gave her a lot of advice and helped her move from one apartment to another. Yang visited Cathy several times at home but she did not invite Cathy to her apartment, because she shared it with four other people. If they did not see each other over the weekend, they usually talked on the telephone.
However, recently something seemed to be going wrong. Cathy seemed to be getting impatient. She started going out by herself at lunchtime instead of eating with Yang, and she seemed unwilling to answer questions. Yang was puzzled. She couldn’t imagine what the problem was.
