Subject: Two places for the weekend workshops
Hello,
My partner Ren and I rent an older apartment, and it has been cold all winter. We saw your flyer at the library and would like to join two workshops.
First, please put us down for Draft Stopping on Saturday. Ren walks with a cane, so I was glad that it meets in the 2. on the main floor. We would both like to make our living room warmer without changing the building. For that session, Ren has already packed 3., as your flyer asks.
We would also like to join Reading Energy Bills, which starts at 4. on Sunday. Ren has always wanted to know where our money goes. Ren is also keen on the 5. that guests at that session can try at home.
Could you confirm our two places and tell me whether there is parking behind the centre?
Thank you,
Sophie Laine

Correct Answer: events@lakeshoreenergy.ca
Why this is correct: Sophie wants to sign up for two workshops. The small print says to register at this address.
Tips: When a flyer lists several email addresses, read what each one is for.
Why the other options are wrong:
- info@lakeshoreenergy.ca: This is the general address at the top. The small print gives a different one for registering.
- rebates@lakeshoreenergy.ca: This address is for rebate questions. Sophie is signing up for workshops.
- team@lakeshoreenergy.ca: This address is for volunteers. Sophie wants to join as a guest.
Correct Answer: Maple Room
Why this is correct: The Draft Stopping card says Maple Room, main floor. That is where the session meets.
Tips: Two places can share a detail, like the main floor. Check which card each one is on.
Why the other options are wrong:
- Cedar Room: The Cedar Room is on the second floor, and it is for Attic Insulation.
- Main Hall: The Main Hall is on the main floor too, but it is for Reading Energy Bills.
- Pine Room: The banner says the Pine Room has coffee. No workshop meets there.
Correct Answer: a tape measure
Why this is correct: The Draft Stopping card tells guests to bring a tape measure.
Tips: Stay on the card for the session in the sentence. Each card asks for something different.
Why the other options are wrong:
- work gloves: Work gloves are for Attic Insulation, not Draft Stopping.
- our last two energy bills: The energy bills are for Reading Energy Bills, the Sunday session.
- a letter from our landlord: A landlord letter is only for permanent changes. Sophie and Ren are not making any.
Correct Answer: 11:00 a.m.
Why this is correct: The Reading Energy Bills card ends with Sunday, 11:00 a.m.
Tips: Match the time to the right workshop and the right day.
Why the other options are wrong:
- 10:00 a.m.: 10:00 a.m. is when Draft Stopping starts, and that is on Saturday.
- 1:00 p.m.: 1:00 p.m. is the start of Attic Insulation on Saturday.
- 9:30 a.m.: The banner says the doors open at 9:30 a.m. No workshop starts then.
Correct Answer: power use monitor
Why this is correct: The Reading Energy Bills card says guests can borrow a power use monitor for a month.
Tips: Notice small verbs like borrow and take home. They can show the right answer.
Why the other options are wrong:
- seal kit: The seal kit comes from Draft Stopping, and guests keep it.
- insulation guide: The insulation guide is from Attic Insulation, and guests keep it.
- LED bulb: The banner says every guest gets a free LED bulb. Nobody borrows it.
Correct Answer: sign up for two workshops and ask a question
Why this is correct: Sophie asks for two places and then asks about parking.
Tips: Look at the start and the end of the email to find the main purpose.
Why the other options are wrong:
- complain about the cold in the apartment: Sophie mentions the cold only to explain why Sophie wants the workshops.
- ask how to get a rebate on a power bill: Sophie never writes about rebates in the email.
- offer to help at the workshops as a volunteer: Sophie wants to attend as a guest and does not offer to help.
Correct Answer: a free seal kit
Why this is correct: The Draft Stopping card says guests take home a free seal kit.
Tips: The email may not say everything. Check the card to see what each session gives.
Why the other options are wrong:
- a free insulation guide: The free insulation guide is for guests at Attic Insulation, not Draft Stopping.
- a power use monitor for a month: The power use monitor is lent at Reading Energy Bills on Sunday.
- a letter for their landlord: The flyer never gives out landlord letters. Tenants must get one from their landlord.
Correct Answer: confirm the places and answer a parking question
Why this is correct: Sophie asks the program to confirm the places and give details about parking.
Tips: The last question in an email often shows what the writer wants next.
Why the other options are wrong:
- send a seal kit to the apartment: Sophie does not ask for a seal kit. Guests take it home after the session.
- move Draft Stopping to a room on the main floor: Draft Stopping is already on the main floor, and Sophie is glad about it.
- write to the landlord about new windows: Sophie does not mention new windows or ask anyone to contact the landlord.
