From: Sunridge Property Management <info@sunridge-pm.ca> To: All Residents — Sunridge Apartments Subject: Scheduled Water Service Interruption — Monday, July 14 Dear Residents, Please be advised that water service to all units will be shut off on Monday, July 14, from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. (six hours). This is necessary to allow municipal contractors to replace aging water mains in the area. We encourage all residents to store adequate water before 9:00 a.m. on July 14 for drinking, cooking, and hygiene. We also recommend completing any laundry or dishwashing before the shut-off begins. Please note that the fitness centre showers will also be unavailable during this time. Residents experiencing urgent plumbing issues after water is restored should contact our 24-hour maintenance line at 1-800-555-0172. Slight discolouration of tap water is normal following a main repair and typically clears within 30–60 minutes of running the tap. We apologize for any inconvenience and appreciate your co-operation. A follow-up notice will be sent if the date or duration needs to change. Sunridge Property Management

Speaking — Practice Prompts
Record yourself, then listen back — a gap between your prepared and spontaneous speech is normal and improvable
A friend is considering quitting their full-time job to start a small business. They have some savings but no business experience. What advice would you give them? Give at least two specific suggestions.
CLB 9 tip: Open with a clear stance ('I'd encourage you to...'). Use conditional language to discuss risk ('If the business doesn't succeed within six months...'). This shows CLB 9 language.
Describe what you see in the following scene: A busy Saturday morning at a farmer's market. Several vendors have colourful stalls. Families browse produce, flowers, and baked goods. One vendor is demonstrating how to make jam. Two children are feeding a small petting zoo in the corner.
CLB 9 tip: Don't just list items — describe actions, relationships, and atmosphere: 'In the foreground, a vendor is actively demonstrating...' Start with the widest view (the overall scene), then move to specific details.
