TOEIC Part 7: Triple Passage Mock Test

Business Journal Parkview City Launches 'Shop Local' Initiative PARKVIEW CITY, September 2 – The city's Chamber of Commerce has launched the 'Shop Local' initiative, scheduled to run for the entire month of October. The program is designed to support local small businesses by encouraging residents to spend money within their community. Over 100 local businesses are participating. “Small businesses are the backbone of our city’s economy,” said Mayor David Chen. “This initiative will highlight the unique products and services they offer.” Participating businesses will be identifiable by a special 'Shop Local' sticker in their window and will be featured in a directory on the city's official website.

MEMORANDUM To: All Staff, Oakside Branch From: Maria Flores, Branch Manager Date: September 5, 2025 Subject: Participation in 'Shop Local' Initiative I am pleased to announce that our branch of the Greenleaf Bank will be participating in Parkview City's 'Shop Local' initiative next month. While we are part of a larger national bank, our branch is committed to supporting the community we operate in. To contribute, we will be offering a special promotion: any new customer who opens a small business account with us during the initiative will receive a $100 credit. We will also display marketing materials for other local businesses in our lobby. Let’s all be prepared to discuss this great program with our customers.

To: Maria Flores <m.flores@greenleafbank.com> From: Kenji Tanaka <k.tanaka@theflowerpot.com> Date: September 9, 2025 Subject: 'Shop Local' Partnership Dear Ms. Flores, My name is Kenji Tanaka, and I am the owner of The Flower Pot, a floral shop located just down the street from your bank. I saw the 'Shop Local' sticker in your window this morning and was thrilled to see you participating. As a neighboring small business, I would be very interested in the possibility of displaying some of our promotional materials, such as our new autumn bouquet flyers, in your lobby. Your notice mentioned this was something you were offering, and I believe the exposure to your customers would be immensely beneficial. Please let me know who I should speak with to arrange this. Thank you, Kenji Tanaka
