Read the email
To: Home Owner
From: Taryn Kent
Subject: Your home
Sent: January 7
Hello. I've been looking at the photo gallery of your online home buyer's ad. Congratulations
on trying to sell your home without a real estate agent. It is difficult (we have done it twice)
but is worth the effort if you find a reasonable buyer. My sister is interested in buying a home
in your region. Your home could be ideal if you are willing to negotiate the price. Your asking
price is about $10, 000 above her budget. She also wants to live near an elementary school
and a bus route. I'm not sure if your home is near these amenities. Could you let me know
about these details? Most importantly, are you open to negotiation on the price? Please let
me know when the house would be available for viewing.
Thank you.
Sincerely,
Taryn Kent
Directions: Respond to the email as if you are trying to sell your house privately. Answer
the questions and provide at least TWO details about the neighbourhood and ONE reason
why you can or can't negotiate the price.
Question 8: Opinion Essay
Some companies block their employees from using social media networks and websites
such as Facebook. Do you think managers should trust employees to use time wisely, or do
you think it is smart of companies to block access to some sites? Provide reasons and
examples to support your opinion.
