MEMORANDUM (备忘录) To: All members of the sales department From: Annette Derringer Re: Year-end party Date: November 26 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is just a quick note to let you all know the arrangements for next month’s year-end party. As you know, the party will be held at the Green Vale Country Club, which we have reserved between 7:30 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. on the evening of December 21st. I’ve received replies from almost all of you confirming(确认) attendance, but if you haven’t let me know yet, please do so in the next day or two. Tickets for all employees have been covered by the company. The Green Vale manager has asked me to explain one or two things to those of you who have not been there before. Basically, there is sufficient(足够的) parking space for only 100 vehicles, so they would like to ask those of you planning to drive, to try to car-pool(拼车) as much as possible. Also, the number of lockers available is small, so guests should try to keep belongings to a minimum(最低限度). Thanks in advance, Annette
To: Annette Derringer aderringer@belway.com From: Kyle Berwick Date: Nov 28[来源:Zxxk.Com] Subject: Year-end party ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Annette, This is to let you know that I will be able to attend the year-end party at the Green Vale Country Club on the 21st although I don’t think I will be able to arrive before 8:30. I was wondering if it would also be possible to bring a couple of guests. I know it is a bit of a last minute request, but my brother and his wife are planning to visit us at that time, and I know they’d love to see the Green Vale. If it is not a problem, then can you let me know how much I should pay for their tickets? Also, assuming(假定) this is OK, I was planning to drive down in a single car, to reduce the need for parking and also to allow us to keep our belongings in the car. I have a couple of days off before the party, but I’ll be in my office until the 17th, so could you get back to me before then? Thanks a lot, Kyle

Finding musical talent[来源:学*科*网Z*X*X*K]
Girls Rock Camp Akron is one of many countless summer camps in the US. But the weeklong view into the world of music-making is probably the most fun summer camp experience a girl could have.
Seven girls have five days to learn an instrument, form a group and perform in front of friends, family and music-lovers.
The camp is run by Dylan Yellowlees to inspire girls to pursue non-traditional careers. Anyone who has ever joined a band with strangers knows it can take weeks just to get to know one another. But these young women must work together right away to create music using skills they’ve developed after only a few hours of practice. Instrument is first
The first step is to pick an instrument and start learning.
This summer, Kelly Baird and Gianna Richards became drummers, while Sophie Becker and Hannah Wynn played keyboard. Nina Hahn was the guitarist.
Timari Kelker and Arawen Hernandez chose the bass (贝斯), and not just because someone had to.
“Whenever I listen to a song I always like to see if it has a good bass undertone (低音),” said Arawen.
Yellowlees is impressed with the progress after just two days of learning. “I’m pretty proud of these kids. It’s amazing what you can do when you don’t know that you can’t do it,” she said with a satisfied smile. Fun, Fun, Fun
On the third day, it’s time to write a song. Nina, Hannah, Timari and Gianna became a quartet (四重奏乐团) while the other three formed their own group. The two bands worked on basic song elements (元素) and tried to write choruses (副歌部分) and verses (主歌部分).
With the bands formed, the next two days were spent practicing. The messages from the rooms were consistent: Keep the beat; don’t stop if you mess up; always listen to each other.
At 6 pm on Friday, both bands arrived to perform in front of the audience. They confidently ran through their songs, with the crowd cheering them along. Afterwards, some fans even bought band photos and had the girls sign them. All the campers said they will join in the camp again next summer.
Yellowlees hopes that the camp doesn’t just show girls that they can play music. “Girls can do anything. So when someone says girls can’t do that, they can say ‘Yeah, we can.’”
