We're Doing Something Right
by Ariel Garman
SUSTERN (November 8)-According to a recent study conducted by the Mid Atlantic Hotel
Association, tourism at our beaches improved significantly this past summer, and the hotel
industry showed greater profits this year than last. Hotel occupancy averaged 94 percent during
the peak summer months. -[1]-.
Sustern saw the opening of the area's largest hotel, The Glaston, last spring. The new hotel was at
full capacity nearly every weekend during the summer. Weekday occupancy also exceeded
expectations.
The hotel's manager, Anika Bastien, said, "Tourists were thrilled with the array of amenities
offered, including 24-hour dining options, a free shuttle to nearby beaches, and free Wi-Fi. In
fact, many have already reserved rooms for next summer. -[2]-."
Sustern has become the most popular tourist destination in the region, with about 20 percent more
beachgoers than the Delmire shore, its biggest competitor. -[3]-. Experts attribute this to the
growing number of outlet stores in Sustern, overall lower prices, and an abundance of new
restaurants, hotels, and community events. Tourists continue to visit the area after the prime
beach months, keeping hotel rooms occupied longer. -[4]-.

The refrigerator and dishwasher boxes were supposed to arrive at Redmond's warehouse on
Wednesday, but the snowstorm really backed up our delivery schedule.
I will, but I was waiting to hear from the drivers. George, can you help?
I spoke with them ten minutes ago. They're back on the road now, so they only lost a day. They
should have everything before the end of the week.
OK. I'll tell them to expect delivery by Friday at the very latest.
At least the packaging materials for the smaller appliances shipped before the storm; only the
larger boxes are affected.
The contract is for us to provide packaging materials for all of Redmond's products, not just the
smaller ones. Let's make sure we stay on the revised schedule.

The HJ6 is a top-of-the-line mini projector, which is no surprise to those familiar with Collierpro.
As usual, the company spared no expense in making sure this projector is easy to take almost
anywhere: it is lightweight and comes with its own carrying case, which includes a remote
control and a tripod. Its internal lamp is much brighter than that of other projectors its size. Due
to its brightness, the HJ6 was able to project the sharpest picture of all the mini projectors that
we tested.
The major weakness of the HJ6 is its speakers. They are not nearly as loud as one would expect,
given the superiority of all the other features. You can easily plug in different speakers. It is a
mini projector, however, and its small size means it is not the best choice for giving presentations
in lecture halls or large conference rooms.
Overall, this is a fantastic projector for travelers, and we recommend it. This is a new model,
though, and the sticker price is quite high. It may be best to hold off making a purchase right
away. Projectopro will introduce the Pico P17 projector next month, so the HJ16's price may drop
in order to remain competitive.
------------------------
https://www.buyforbusiness.com/projectors0103
The Pocket Mini C is a reliable projector and a good buy for those who aren't interested in
spending a lot of money. Like its competitors, it is lightweight and compact. The feature we were
most impressed with is its battery: it can run for up to six hours, which is much longer than the
other battery-powered projectors that we tested.
There are a few downsides, as could be expected from a budget projector. The ports are in
awkward locations and the menu organization is confusing, so setting up the projector is not
straightforward. The audio capabilities are also limited; when the volume is turned up, the audio
can sound muffled. But overall, it's a decent mini projector for a reasonable price.
181
What is suggested about Collierpro?
A. It is owned by Buy for Business.
B. It makes high-quality electronics.
C. It is a new company.
D. It offers discounts for business travelers.
182
What is mentioned as a feature of the HJ6 Miniprojector?
A. It is less expensive than the Pico P17.
B. It is sold with a spare power cord.
C. It has a rechargeable battery.
D. It produces a very clear image.
183
Why should customers wait before purchasing the HJ6 Miniprojector?
A. The model's features will be updated soon.
B. The projector might become less expensive soon.
C. Minor problems with the machine will be fixed soon.
D. Another company will buy the projector's manufacturer soon.
184
What criticism do both of the reviewed projectors receive?
A. They are too heavy.
B. They are not easy to set up.
C. Their sound systems do not work well.
D. Their projections are not large enough.

According to the second review, what is the best feature of the Pocket Mini C?
A. Its design is attractive.

C. It has more ports than other projectors.

Thanks for calling to discuss your progress on the house construction. To summarize our

At its meeting on Tuesday, the Eldonbury Town Council voted to explore options for additional
work to be done on town facilities. According to Charles Gruber, town clerk, the renovation of
the Eldonbury Community Centre came in well under budget. The council, therefore, decided to
compile a list of smaller improvement projects that could be done with the leftover funds.
Some suggested projects include adding a covered entryway to the Eldonbury Public Library,
improving lighting in Westfall Park, and replacing floors in the Town Hall. According to Mr.
Gruber, the council will solicit ideas from members of the public. Interested parties may voice
their opinions at the council's meeting on Tuesday, 20 March, at 4:00 P.M. or send an e-mail to
the council office before 31 March. After the period of public comment, the planning committee
will put forth a final list for the council to discuss, with a decision expected by 15 April.

I read that you are accepting suggestions for the use of the leftover money from the Community
Centre renovation. Because of a previously scheduled appointment, I was not able to attend the
council meeting, but I would like to express my support for the idea of expanding the lighting in
the park. While the cost of that project is likely to be reasonable compared to that of the other
possibilities, the improved lighting would increase the usability of Westfall Park and would
benefit many people, especially in the dark winter months. A well-lit, nicely maintained park is
an obvious source of civic pride, and something we could all appreciate. I hope the council will
seriously consider this project.
Sincerely,
Heather McCaffrey

I was glad to hear that the latest renovation project was completed with money to spare. Although
the Community Centre does sponsor activities for citizens of all ages, it is, for the most part,
visited by adolescents and parents with children. Therefore, I would like to suggest that the next
project focus on a place more often used by Eldonbury's older people.
The public library is a natural gathering place for older adults, and a new entryway would provide
a dry, protected place for people to chat or wait for transportation. It would be a noticeable
improvement, likely to be applauded by citizens who did not feel that they gained much from the
improvements to the Community Centre. In April, when the votes are cast, please consider this
suggestion to balance the interests of all members of the Eldonbury public.
Thank you,
