PTE Core Reading: Multiple Choice, Multiple Answers practice — Everyday Notices

From Monday, staff should use the new online form to claim the cost of approved work travel. Journeys between our two offices during the working day are covered. Your normal trip from home to your usual office is not covered, even if you are asked to arrive earlier than usual.

Please use standard bus or train tickets where practical. A taxi can be included only if your manager agreed to it before the journey. Approval given afterwards does not meet this condition. Any personal upgrade, such as a first-class seat chosen for extra comfort, must be paid for by the traveller.

Submit the form within thirty days of the journey and attach the receipt. A clear photograph of a paper receipt is acceptable; you do not also need to send the original. If a receipt is missing, explain what happened in the form. Finance will review the claim, but payment is not guaranteed.

Approved claims received by Friday are normally paid the following Wednesday. An acknowledgement email confirms receipt of the form, not approval of the expenses. Keep that email so you can quote the claim number if you need to ask about a payment.

The community tool library lends basic gardening and repair equipment to adults who live in the district. Membership is available from the age of eighteen. You do not have to own your home: people renting a room or staying in temporary accommodation can join if they can show that they currently live locally.

At registration, bring photo identification and proof of your local address. We accept a recent utility bill, a tenancy agreement or a letter from a recognised housing service. If none of these is available, please speak to the membership team before visiting. A document showing only your place of work will not confirm where you live.

New members must attend a short safety session before borrowing equipment. The session is free and runs twice a week. It covers the loan rules as well as safe handling, so previous experience with tools does not remove the attendance requirement.

After completing the session, members can reserve an available tool online. Reservations are held until noon on the next opening day; after that, the tool becomes available to other members. There is no need to buy equipment from us before joining. If an item breaks during a loan, contact the library rather than attempting to repair it yourself.

We are writing to everyone booked on Saturday's bicycle maintenance workshop. Repairs to the centre's water supply mean that the building must close that day, so the Saturday session cannot take place. We can offer the same workshop on Sunday afternoon in the same room, provided enough participants accept the alternative.

If you would like to attend on Sunday, reply to this email by Wednesday evening. Your Saturday booking will not move automatically. We will confirm on Thursday whether the Sunday workshop is going ahead. Please wait for that message before making travel arrangements. If it runs, the fee you have already paid will cover your place; there is no transfer charge.

If Sunday is unsuitable, you can request a full refund now. Anyone who has not replied by the Wednesday deadline will have their booking cancelled and receive a full refund automatically. Refunds go back to the original payment method and may take several working days to appear.

The Sunday offer is for existing participants. It does not include an extra place for a friend, as the number of workstations is limited. Please quote your booking reference when replying, and tell us if the contact details on your original form have changed.
