CELPIP 4-5 Response To: Community Picnic Organizer Subject: Canada Day Picnic I was really enjoyed and overwhelmed the last weekend Canada day community picnic in Turner park. There’s a lot of people in our community was organized and joined this kind of event. I was so amaze because it’s successfully done everything in the picnic and I really thankful for those people who brought some dish of foods. In this letter there’s a sensitive way to need to know about the food and it can notice the list of ingredient’s was wrote it up of each dishes, being aware for those people have an allergy included me this is very helpful and aware which food might be sensitive to eat or not to be eaten. Many of people are not aware what was written in the dish so we’ve encountered some minor concerned they are not aware of that and not safe to eat it cause of allergy. I would suggest to our organizer team that we need to talk about this matter and plan to do something different by next year. Potentially we give some suggestion and discuss it better way. Thank you, Best Regard, Ramesh Zavala
CELPIP 7-8 Response Hello Richardson, I am writing this email to extend my heartfelt gratitude to you for organising the Canada Day community picnic. However, I would like to draw your attention on few facts as given below. I really liked the idea of a potluck event as it brings forth harmony and a chance for people to socialize with different cultures. But being a public gathering there would be people who are allergic to certain food items, like my mouth started swelling when I had chicken, unaware that it contained roasted nuts. Similarly I saw few children getting into trouble when they had seafood. Hence it would have been great if a list of ingredients were placed by the side of each dish. I do have few suggestions for next year’s event: - Instead of printing flyers try to get email-ids from municipalities, it is cost-effective and highly reachable. - Organise games for children that ensures a more fun-filled evening. - Voluntary music bands for entertaining the crowd. All in all, as the chief organiser you should be proud of your team and sponsors for setting up this event. Wishing you all success in the coming years as well. Regards Hakim
CELPIP 10-12 Response Dear Canada Day community picnic organizer Thank you for the wonderful event last weekend. I had an enjoyable time interacting with the community on such an important celebration in Canada. I noticed on the day that participants did not include a list of ingredients for the dishes they brought to the potluck. There are individuals including myself who have some food allergies such as those related to nuts and seafood. The allergies can in some cases be fatal which is why a list of ingredients would be helpful to better assist individuals to make the right food choices based on their allergies. May I suggest that for the event next year, that participants are requested to supply a list of ingredients to go with the dishes they bring to the potluck to avoid any issues that may occur from an individual eating a tainted item that may aggravate their food allergy. I believe that having the list of ingredients will be widely received and will mean that people can be more involved in the event and try the various dishes without risking their health. Thank you for your consideration and I look forward to another wonderful event next year.
CELPIP 4-5 Response I would like to say to keep print version and also develop the online version because both of them have supporter. Nowadays, with the development of internet. Surf the net became a lifestyle in our daily life. The online version for the newspaper can provide the most convenience way for us to get the new information about the world. We can get the news everywhere with our laptop, iPad. The most important thing is it can protect the environment save more tree, reduce the waste. This online version obviously will be a trend of the lifestyle in the future. Although the online version have many advantage, but as a company they take care of every person in the society. We still have many old person who unable to use the computer or other eletronic devices. But they still need to get information from the world. We can not regardless of them. They have right to get the news. I will suggest that to control the weight between print version and online version to let everyone to choose their lifestyle.
CELPIP 7-8 Response News paper is one of the oldest source of information in the world. But nowadays many online version are available in the market that are the good alternative source of information. So we have to stop the producing print media? According to my opinion we should stop producing print version. Print version have many disadvantages as compare to online version that disadvantages i am going to explain in the following. First of all it is not good for the environment every one knows every year many trees cut down to produce paper. If we stop producing print media then we can save that tree and save wild life. Secondly, it save the manufacturing cost and transportation cost. For example every morning news paper travels from its manufacturing place to our door step and manufacturer spend much money for this so if stop producing print media can save these cost. And manufacture can this money for other creative work. Finally I strongly prefer to stop print version and prefer online version because it have more advantages than print version.
CELPIP 10-12 Response I would recommend that the local newspaper continues to keep producing both the print and online versions. I recognize that particular individuals are pushing a shift towards media being exclusively online but doing this will undoubtedly leave some readers unhappy. I enjoy having the physical printed newspaper to read. I spend enough time each day on a computer as it is. Reading the newspaper is a time for me to relax and get away from the online and electronic world. There are certainly times when the online issue has been beneficial, like being able to access the local news while in a foreign country but for the most part, I prefer the experience of reading a print version. I also believe that within our community, there is a large number of elderly residents who actively buy the print version and have been doing so for year. Many do not have access to a computer. If you stop producing the print version, you are instantly cutting this group of people form your readers.
Online vs. Print News Survey Your local newspaper is experiencing low sales of its newspapers since many readers are now choosing the online version. Its current number of online subscribers is now three times the number of print subscribers. The newspaper has sent a survey to all of its print and online subscribers to see whether there is enough demand to keep the print version.
