Dear Dr Phillips,
In reply to your letter, I would first like to point out that I have been to Bournemouth for you several times and have also sacrificed some  of my weekends to find out whether the place is promising enough to open a hotel there.
In my opinion, it is, because there really is a need for more tourist  accommodation of the kind that you are considering; although the place  doesn't appeal to me personally. It's not quite what I expected.
I think you will have to decide soon if you want to buy that piece of  land advertised in the local news¬paper. Please let me know when  you are coming so that I can pick you up at the station.

Yours  sincerely,
Tom Fielding

Note for Mr. Miller
Just to inform you in a few words about the interview I had with Mr  Tops on 31.5.93. I think he is an excellent man, who will, in my opinion, be able to meet maximum requirements once he has become used to our  line of business. I regard him as just the person we have been looking  for.

He has, all in all, a good personal background, has studied business management and has been holding his present position for a number of years now. He wants to resign from his post because he thinks that he  is still young enough to get into a more interesting, or, as he puts  it, more exciting job. He was quite open about wanting to take advantage  of any promotion which may come his way.
He has one personal problem due to the fact that he has to look after  his parents, who are dependent on him. For the next two years he won't  be able to leave home for too lang; after that his sister and her family  come back from Australia and can take over caring for the two old people.
More when we meet on Saturday.

Regards,
Jones

The  problem lies deeper
Interpreting the unemployment figures in the European Economic Community is easy; finding out about the reasons for unemployment is rather more difficult and requires a bit of knowledge regarding the economic and the working world. Solving the problem, however, seems impossible.
Let's face the facts. Being on the "dole" today doesn't mean hunger, the end of all hope and happiness and the beginning of misery  and despair. It only means, at least in one respect, although still bad enough, collecting unemployment benefits, and not being dependent  on other people, who give and expect gratitude in return.
The main problem today, however, lies somewhere else. It is the feeling  of being useless, which causes frustration.
This is quite natural because the society in which we live often judges  people according to what they earn and to their status in life, and not according to their inner qualities.

Welche Aussage passt zu dem Text?

The article  says . . .
89
a) how difficult it is for everybody to interpret the unemployment figures.
b) how it is possible to solve the problems of the working world.
c) that a little experience is necessary to find out the causes of unemployment.
d) what measures should be taken to reduce the number of umemployed.

90
a) that being on the "dole" doesn't mean financial help from  the government.
b) that being on the "dole" doesn't mean giving up odd jobs.
c) that being on the "dole" doesn't mean less work for anybody.
d) that being on the "dole" doesn't mean the beginning of severe  poverty.

91
a) how people could be made to take a different attitude.
b) in what circumstances inner qualities are as important as others.
c) that people are often judged by what the writer thinks are wrong criteria.
d) what status the unemployed should have in life.
