Case Study
Sally was told that she had to
visit a client to discuss a
function that was not possible
over the telephone or using
communication software such
as Skype. As the client was in
the country she would be
provided with accommodation,
a business car and a mobile
phone to use while she was
away.
As there was a shortage of
telephones, she would borrow
the sales manager's phone as
he was having an operation
and was not allowed access to
a phone. She was given the
items without any training,
instruction, or opportunity to
test the equipment. She
discovered later that the
batteries were dead and as she
did not have a charger for the
phone so she had to buy a new
set of batteries using her own
money. On the second day,
while waiting for her client,
Sally played with the phone
looking for games. What she
discovered were photographs
of men and women in pictures
that were clearly not of a
business nature. She was very
shocked and decided to sue
the business for sexual
harassment
Task: Write a one-page report
to your manager detailing

result of the above situation.​

Select the correct answer. If the writer wanted to provide more information about the process of how leaves take in nutrients and energy, which graphic would be best to add to the passage? A. a map of the world showing where leaves tend to change colors the most B. a diagram showing the process by which photosynthesis takes place C. a chart listing the names of scientists who discovered how photosynthesis works D. a painting of trees in a forest to highlight the beauty of fall-colored leaves



The text:The following is a student draft. It may contain errors. Why Do Leaves Change Color in the Fall? The Splendor of Fall Leaves (1) As the days get cooler, trees and shrubs put on an impressive fashion show in all the shades of red, yellow, purple, and browns. (2) Leaves that were once green all summer long start to change colors and fall becomes the time when trees show off these vibrant colored leaves. (3) Leaves are more than just a fashion statement. (4) Leaves are nature's food factories. (5) Plants take water from the ground through their roots. (6) They take a gas called carbon dioxide from the air. (7) Plants use sunlight to turn water and carbon dioxide into glucose, which is a kind of sugar. (8) Plants use glucose as food for energy and as a building block for growth. (9) The way plants turn water and carbon dioxide into sugar is a called photosynthesis. (10) This process means to "put together with light." (11) A chemical called chlorophyll helps make photosynthesis happen. (12) And, chlorophyll is what gives plants their green color. Where do Autumn Colors Come From? (13) Some plants retain a great deal of their foliage through much of the spring and summer, but the leaves do not retain their green color for long. (14) There are various pigments of colors, including yellow pigments known as xanthophylls and the orange pigments called carotenoids. (15) Red and purple pigments come from anthocyanins, which are manufactured from the sugars that are trapped in the leaf. (16) These fall colors are actually always present in the leaves throughout the growing season, but only show up in the fall. (17) When all the color pigments are gone during extreme weather conditions, the only pigment that remains are tannins, which are brown. What Makes Leave Change Color? (18) Trees are sensitive to these changes in their environment, so as the season begins to change, the trees "know" to start getting ready for winter. (19) Leaves are green in the spring and summer because that is when they are making the most amounts of chlorophyll. (20) But, as summer ends and autumn comes, the days get shorter and there is not enough light or water for photosynthesis. (21) As a result, the trees will rest and live off the food they stored during the warmer months. (22) They begin to shut down their food-making factories and the bright green fades away from the leaves, revealing the reds, oranges, and yellows.

Pacific Gold

by Gordon Grimwade

1 Gold brings out the best and the worst in people. In the lands bordering the Pacific Ocean, gold has helped many countries and individuals to prosper. It has also caused destruction and heartache. Through the millennia, strong friendships have bound gold seekers together in the most challenging of environments. But, unfortunately, the lure of gold has also stirred some to uncivilized ruthlessness and aggression.

Not Just California

2 In the 19th century, the west coast of the United States, the freezing isolation of Alaska and Yukon, inland Australia, and the rolling hills of New Zealand have all welcomed thousands of gold seekers. Day after day, they jostled, dug, and suffered as they sought to strike it rich. Some achieved their dreams. Most did not.

3 The search for Pacific gold, however, dates back much farther than those 19th-century gold rushes. Beginning around 1521, Spanish conquistadors pillaged, attacked, and destroyed the Inca and Aztec empires in South and Central America. Using what came to be called "treasure galleons," they carted shiploads of gold to Europe.

4 Half a world away, in the Philippines, gold was used to produce elaborate ornaments long before the Spanish colonized the region in 1565. Elsewhere in the Western Pacific, gold mining was yet to achieve widespread prominence. From the 17th to 20th centuries, the Sado Mine in Japan was a steady source of gold. It is only in recent times that China has become the world's largest gold producer. New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, and Australia had gold tucked away in their lands, but the original inhabitants had little time for digging or processing this yellow metal. That changed dramatically in the mid-19th century. By this time, Europeans had arrived, and they were keen to find gold.

5 In Papua New Guinea, traces of gold were found in pottery in the 1850s. But, it was not until 1888 that gold was reported on the country's Sudest Island. The modest rush that followed attracted around 400 miners. This number, however, pales in comparison with other 19th-century gold discoveries around the Pacific. Still, we must not overlook Papua New Guinea simply because of its humble beginnings. In recent years, it has ranked as the world's 13th largest gold producer.

'Instant' Towns

6 The major gold rushes in the Pacific area started in 1848, when gold was reported in California. Towns grew up almost overnight. Initially, they were a scatter of canvas tents linked by rough, muddy tracks. Few lasted beyond the local gold rushes. San Francisco, however, is a notable exception. It turned from a small settlement into a major city within just a few years.

7 In many newly discovered goldfields, market gardens were developed along fertile river valleys, and wagons would cart supplies to the goldfields from the port towns. Those who discarded their picks and shovels and opened shops or businesses that took wagonloads of supplies to the waiting miners often profited more than those who remained in the field.

8 Such experiences were not specific to the Pacific Northwest. Similar tales are told far across the Pacific. In 1851, gold was first discovered in the Australian state of New South Wales. A few months later, it was discovered further south in Victoria. The result was another rush of gold-hungry hopefuls.

Riches — For the Few

9 In 1861, the rugged hills of New Zealand were also ringing to the sound of miners' picks. Experienced miners, some from the goldfields in the United States and Canada, and "new chums" were soon risking their lives along the rivers of the Otago region of New Zealand's South Island. Canvas tents that afforded some protection in milder climates were discarded in favor of rough-built stone cottages. Once again, however, gold eluded most of those who believed somewhere, sometime they would find riches beyond their wildest dreams.

10 In the 1890s, according to Canadian historians Pierre Berton and Douglas Allen, an "estimated 100,000 people set out for the Klondike [in northwest Canada], 30,000 reached Dawson, half of whom looked for gold, but only 4,000 found any. A few hundred got rich." Not ideal statistics, you must admit.

11 Klondike miners had to trek over 30 miles through ice and snow and cross the notorious Chilkoot Pass, 3500 feet above sea level. Each miner was legally required to be self-sufficient for a year. That meant each miner had to carry about a ton of gear. This was achievable only by ferrying small amounts at a time. It was slow, heavy work at those altitudes and all in the hopes of striking it rich.
