Questions 71 through 73

Good morning, staff. As you know, this month we moved our customer appreciation day from Monday to last Saturday on the notion that the whole family would be able to visit. I saw some of you at demonstration tables, showing our Super Green Leaf customers how to take care of the plants they purchase and how to repot them as they grow. Well, I just got our sales numbers–and guess what: we had record sales for the event! I'd like to congratulate you all on a job well done. And I'll go even further: each one of you will receive a bonus this month. Enjoy!

Questions 74 through 76

SCRIPT

Hi. This is Jung Soo Kim. I've finished my inspection of the house, and it's in good shape, but I noticed something. The rainwater's not draining properly. When you move in, you'll need to have the rain gutters along the edge of the roof cleaned. They're filled with dead leaves, which prevents the water from flowing down the drainpipes and away from the house. If it's not fixed, then, over time, water buildup could possibly damage the house's foundation. I'm going to send you and the sellers my complete inspection report along with pictures, but I won't include repair estimates because those vary so widely.
