As we know our company is a retail company, so how to attract more customs and how to satisfy the customs is something we should pay attention to. TV system can provide costoms not only the products information in our store but also the services. Theres no doubt that TV system can provide convenience and fun to all the people when they shop.At the same time, the TV system is also available for multi-screens. Normarly, it can get about 20 TV screens needed. So you can get anything you want from the TV.I know that the system provider also provide training service. They will train our employees to keep them in good scene of using the TV system in a timely manner.The important thing we might not forget is that the installing of the TV system should be ready in one month. As we cannot impact our operating, and we cannot close our store for long time. They may work overtime to install our TV system and keep it work properly.Thats all my thinking. Im looking forward to your replying.Best wishes!Yours sincerelyHolly WhiteDec.2, 2008Band 1Due to misinterpretation of the task, the answer contains irrelevant information and the reader is not adequately informed. Whilst generally being organized satisfactory, with an adequate range of grammar and vocabulary, there are several errors.Sample BDear Mr TaylorI am writing to enquire about your in-store television system we saw advertised in the latest edition of The Daily Mirror. We are a country-wide operating chain of sport shoe shops and are considering to provide our sales rooms with flat screens to entertain our customers and to inform them about our latest inventions.Due to the fact that we are going to launch a special football shoe next month, we would be pleased if it might be possible for you to install about 20 screens within one month. In addition, we would like to ask further information about your training lessons and we would be grateful if you could send us your detailed brochure as well as your price list.I look forward to hearing from you and I would appreciate it to receive your information in due course.Yours sincerelyChristian Van de WateringBand 5The candidates answer is effectively organized, covers all the important information clearly and contains a wide range of vocabulary and structures.

Test 2Part 1Sample AHi,As you know this department has increased a lot, because of that, we are going to introduce identity cards. Only the employees that entered in the department until 2008, will need this card. You can get this cards in the administration department.Band 3All content points have been addressed, and the organization and register of the email are on the whole satisfactory. The range of vocabulary and grammar is adequate, and although there are a number of errors, these are minor and do not prevent the message being clearly conveyed.Sample BDear colleagues,I am writing to inform you that everyone being involved in software development will need be provided with an identity card by the service team on next Monday. Due to stolen data the head office decided to prevent unauthorized access to data this way.Regards,Alex ThierryBand 4All points are addressed, and the register and format are on the whole appropriate. The range and accuracy of language are generally good, and the reader would be clearly and fully informed.Part 2Sample AFor number of Parkside staff leaving stores problem, I made a report as follows:At first, look at draw, from this one you can see, Year 2007. Highgate lost 4 person. Parkside lost 5. Until 2008, Highgates rate is reduced, but Parksides rate is grew so high more staff leaving will make the store instead of this one. This is waste t the manual resource & money.Through communicate with the Parkside staff, I know there are three point very important.Firstly, training wanted. The staff want to more training to improve themselves level. Everyday their make the same job, long and long, their will hate this job. I think the company need to provide this benefit to the staff.Secondly. More paid holiday. I think this is the first, but the staff is not pay attention it, so that is no possible.Thirdly. Bonus Scheme. If the company can pay more money employ the new staff why cannot pay more salary to the current staff? So I suggest the company provide the double-salary as the bonus pay for the current staff end of the years.Thats all.Sincerely,Lucy.Band 2The report is considerably longer than the recommended word length and does not cover all the content points. Although the report is adequately paragraphed, cohesion is weak. The register and format of the report are not always appropriate; errors are numerous and impede clear communication of the message.Sample BReport on staff turnoverIntroduction This report aims to explain the high staff turnover 2008 in Parkside and to propose measures to improve staff loyalty.Findings The figures clearly show that the high number of staff leaving the stores is a problem that only affects the Parkside store in 2008. while staff turnover in the Highgate store remained on a low level .the number of staff leaving Parkside shoot up from 5 to 20. This unfortunately has a bad impact on customer service.Research among staff revealed their requirements. Firstly staff requires more training what would also benefit the company as the service is likely to improve. Another good idea is the introduction采用 of a bonus scheme for valued staff that would improve staff loyalty. Unlike the mentioned proposals the request for a longer annual leave could not be met.RecommendationsIt is recommended to offer both the requested training opportunities and a bonus scheme for valued staff.Band 5All content points are clearly covered, and the report is well organized with good cohesion. Both the register and format are consistently appropriate. Generally, the language used is accurate, and a good range of structures and vocabulary is demonstrated.Test 3Part 1Sample ADear AllI am writing to inform you that I am going to change a department next Monday 5 May.In my new position will take place in the Marketing department, where I am going to be responsible of promoting the new products.

The language is natural and well controlled in its usage. The overall effect on the reader is very positive.Part 2Sample AI considered all the effects in our Company, and found not closing village store is a well choice at this moment. Since it is far from the city, the people in the village have poor ability to buy our product, and customers become more and more less. If we could reduce the price, we may get a good benefit and for a another important reason, village store have not reached a high level and full equipment.Due to the town have developed for the nearest four years, more and more people wanted to try enjoy our service. And the profits are better than before. I think we could spend more time and money to expend it to get more profits.Ou-of-town market have a great changes during these years. Many people like to visit these place when the free time. Meantime, nesssary equipment is important to them. People like our service and want more.Regarding the three kinds of stores, we should closed the village store, and develop the other two stores. We could open more marketing on these 2 kinds of store to get more profit. Hope this is clear and thank you very much.B rgdsKim JungBand 2The candidate has attempted to address all the content points using an appropriate register and format.

This shop is well placed in a busy shopping zone with also a lot of tourists.- out-of-town superstorevery successful with an excellent profit of 250,000. This shop profits from enough parking places in front of the store and different shops and outlets around.If we have to close a store in our region, I would propose to give up the village store. Regarding new service in the other shops I would imagine that an internet access would be interesting for our customers. This service doesnt exaist around and could shorten waiting times for escating people.Band 4The candidate has addressed all the content points, using a good range of appropriate vocabulary and structures. The report is well organized and generally accurate. The overall effect on the reader is positive.
