TOEIC Part 7: Double Passage Mock Test

To: Mark Jensen <m.jensen@greentech.com> From: Elena Petrova <e.petrova@greentech.com> Date: September 8, 2025 Subject: Marketing Department Staffing Hi Mark, I hope you're having a productive week. I'm writing to formally request approval to hire a new Digital Marketing Specialist for my team. As you know, our department's workload has increased significantly with the launch of the new 'Eco-Home' product line. We are struggling to keep up with the demands of managing our social media presence and online advertising campaigns effectively. Ideally, we would like to have the new person on board by the beginning of November to help us prepare for the crucial holiday sales season. I have already drafted a job description and can forward it to you for review. Please let me know what the next steps are. Best regards, Elena Petrova Marketing Director

I understand the pressure your team is under, and I agree that additional support is warranted. Unfortunately, as per the company's Q4 hiring freeze policy, we are not onboarding any new permanent staff until January of next year. This policy was announced last week and affects all departments. However, I do have a potential solution. We have an existing contract with a marketing agency, Creative Solutions, that provides us with temporary staff. I can authorize a three-month contract for a specialist from their team. This would cover your needs through the holiday season. Please send me the job description. I will forward it to our contact at Creative Solutions and have them send us a few candidate profiles to review. Best, Mark Jensen Human Resources Manager
