Dear Miss Biggs:

Having conducted our standard credit investigation, we have concluded that it would be unwise for us to grant your credit at this time.

We believe that the extent of your current obligations makes you a bad credit risk. As you can understand, it is in our best interest to grant charge accounts only to those customers with proven ability to pay.

Please accept our sincere regrets and feel free to continue to shop at Allen’s on a cash basis.

Sincerely yours,

Version II

Dear Miss Biggs:

I am sorry to inform you that your application for an Allen’s charge account has beenturned down.

Our credit department believes that, because of your credit obligations, additional credit might be difficult for you to handle at this time. Your credit reputation is too valuable to be placed in jeopardy. We will be delighted, of course, to reconsider your application in the future should your financial responsibilities be reduced. Until then, we hope you will continue to shop at Allen’s where every customer is our prime concern.

TO: Department Supervisors
FROM: Assistant Director

Inform your subordinates:

overlooked. Paychecks will be docked as of Monday, March 6.

As supervisors, you will be required to enforce these new regulations.

Version II

TO: Department Supervisors
From: Wanda Hatch, Assistant Director

Unfortunately, a few people have taken advantage of lenient company policies
regarding lateness and personal phone calls. As a result, we must all now conform to tougher regulations.

Please inform the members of your department that:

1. Beginning Monday, March 6, the paychecks of employees who are late will be docked.

PART E_2

TO: Department Managers
FROM: Branch Director

Tell your subordinates:

1. Because our customers complained about many of our employees taking too long to respond to e-mails, distractions such as the use of mobile phones, listening to music and checking of Facebook will no longer be allowed.

2. Because many of our employees spend more than one hour for their lunch break,
any employee who comes to work late from lunch will be considered on a half-day.

As department managers, you have to enforce these new regulations.

(Please send the mispronounced words and expressions to your student.)

PART D_2

Psychologist Daniel Simons and Christopher Chabris have researched a phenomenon, which they call “change blinders”. Their research shows how we sometimes focus on something else that is why we can’t see what is already in front of our eyes.

The “Invisible Gorilla” test is apparently their most popular one. In this test, Simons and Chabris asked the participants to watch a video of 2 groups of people ( one group wearing white T-shirts and one group wearing black T-shirts ) who passed basketballs around in a corridor. The two psychologists ordered the people to sum up how many times the white team passed the ball. While the two teams were passing their balls around, a person wearing a gorilla costume walked through the group and stopped to look at the camera. Simons and Chabris found out that roughly half of the research participants did not see the gorilla.

It just means how we can’t always trust our own brains. Even though we may believe we know what is going on, we can be unconscious of the large changes in our surroundings.
