From: Jeanette
Date: January 6
Subject: Evening classes
Hi Anna,
My work hours change every week, so I want the class that meets most often, which is 1.. If I miss one night, I can go on another day.
You told me you wanted to try Bootcamp, but the guide lists it at the 2. level. Neither of us has exercised much lately, so I think we should wait. Spin could be a better start for you, because it meets on 3.. Those are your free evenings, and it is a beginner class. On those days it starts at 4., so you would have time to get there after work. We both have monthly passes, so I might join you one night. If you go, please remember that Spin riders must bring 5..
Which class feels right for your first month?

- Circuit: Circuit meets only two evenings, on Monday and Thursday.
- Bootcamp: Bootcamp meets only once a week, on Wednesday.
Correct Answer: advanced
Why this is correct: The Bootcamp card says it is at the advanced level. So Jeanette thinks they should wait.
Tips: The sentence names Bootcamp, so read only the Bootcamp card.
Why the other options are wrong:
- beginner: Beginner is the level for Spin, not for Bootcamp.
- intermediate: Intermediate is the level for Circuit, not for Bootcamp.
- all levels: All levels is written on the Yoga card, not on the Bootcamp card.
Correct Answer: Tuesday and Thursday
Why this is correct: The Spin card lists Tuesday and Thursday. Jeanette says these are the evenings Anna is free.
Tips: Days can look alike. Check the whole group of days, not just one.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Monday and Thursday: Monday and Thursday are the days for Circuit, not for Spin.
- Monday, Wednesday and Friday: These three days are for Yoga, not for Spin.
- Wednesday: Wednesday is the only day for Bootcamp. Spin does not meet then.
Correct Answer: 6:30 p.m.
Why this is correct: The Spin card says 6:30 p.m. That leaves Anna time to get there after work.
Tips: Stay in the same card as the class you are reading about.
Why the other options are wrong:
- 6:00 p.m.: 6:00 p.m. is the start time for Yoga, not for Spin.
- 7:00 p.m.: 7:00 p.m. is the start time for Circuit and Bootcamp.
- 9:00 p.m.: 9:00 p.m. is when the change rooms close. No class starts then.
Correct Answer: a small towel
Why this is correct: The Spin card tells people to bring a small towel. Jeanette reminds Anna because Anna will take Spin.

Why the other options are wrong:

- indoor shoes: Indoor shoes are for Circuit, not for Spin.
- a water bottle: The water bottle is for Bootcamp, and Anna is not taking Bootcamp.
Correct Answer: suggest classes that fit each of their schedules
Why this is correct: Jeanette picks Yoga for her own busy weeks. She suggests Spin for Anna's free evenings.
Tips: Ask yourself what the writer wants to happen after the email.
Why the other options are wrong:
- ask Anna to sign up for Bootcamp with her: Jeanette thinks they should wait before trying Bootcamp.
- complain that the classes start too late: Jeanette says the Spin time works well for Anna. She has no complaint.
- invite Anna to become a Yoga teacher: Jeanette wants to take Yoga herself. She never talks about teaching.
Correct Answer: monthly members may join any listed class

Tips: Notes at the bottom of a diagram often give rules for everyone.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Spin is on Monday, Wednesday and Friday: Spin is on Tuesday and Thursday. Monday, Wednesday and Friday are Yoga days.
- Spin is for advanced members only: Spin is a beginner class. Bootcamp is the advanced one.
