　　I am aware of your great interest in literature, and I would like to point out that you could gain advantage to apply for leave without pay.

　　例4、Directions: You are a supervisor of a big company. The chief of operations wants to adopt the“punch-in”system to increase productivity. Write a memo to talk about this:

　　1) Does the “punch-in”system benefit the company?

　　2) If the company doesn’t adopt it, what else can we do to increase productivity.

　　You should write about 100 words.

　　To: David Green, Chief of Operations

　　From: Tony Party , Supervisor

　　Subject: Comments on the “Punch-in” System

　　Date: March. 22, 2005

　　This is further to your memo dated March. 20, 2004, in which you proposed that employees adopt the “punch-in” system.

　　I fully agree with you that we must increase productivity. As far as your proposal that if the “punch-in” system is adopted, we would have a tighter control over the employees is concerned. However, I don’t think so. I personally think that, to accomplish this, we should give the employees more incentives to work faster. I feel that if we ( the supervisors) could meet with you , we could discuss different possiblilities to create such incentiveness.

　　Your consideration of this suggestion would be appreciated.

　　Tony Party

　　*编辑注：此篇是对一篇备忘录的回复。生产主管认为实行打孔考勤制度（“punch-in”system），有利于增加生产效率。但督察却不这样认为。他认为“should give the employees more incentives to work faster”。
