CELPIP Reading Part 1Reading Correspondence Practice

Hi Victor,

I wanted to check our plans for our watering schedule for the shared vegetable plot. I planned Tuesday evening while you covered Thursday morning. I was looking forward to it, and everything seemed settled until this week. I need to change the plan because a required work training session now runs through Tuesday evening. My supervisor added the session after new equipment arrived earlier than expected. As a result, the seedlings would go without water during the hottest part of the week.

I first checked the garden calendar and asked whether the hose booking could move. Our plot can use Thursday evening instead without conflicting with another member. Before suggesting a change, I reviewed our earlier messages and the details already confirmed. One detail to keep in mind is that you usually pass the garden on Tuesday after your swimming class. My preferred solution is having you water Tuesday and taking both Thursday visits myself. That would work best because the swap protects the seedlings and keeps our total work balanced.

That approach would preserve the parts of the plan that still work for everyone. If that works for you, I can update everything else as soon as you reply. Another possibility is asking another plot member to cover Tuesday. The difficulty with that option is that most members are already preparing for the weekend plant sale. I thought about dropping the plan completely, but that would create more trouble than it solves. I’d rather use one of the practical alternatives that is already available.

The practical detail I have not resolved is that the locked tool chest contains the new hose nozzle you have not used. Please tell me what you think we should do about that part of the plan. I kept the records about our watering schedule for the shared vegetable plot together for this review. No other related plan needs to change while this matter is reviewed. A written reply about having you water Tuesday and taking both Thursday visits myself would prevent confusion.

Thank you for considering the timing and practical effects of this request. I need your answer by Monday night. I must update the booking sheet before Tuesday morning. What I’m hoping is that you can swap watering days and use the labelled nozzle in the tool chest. Once I hear from you, I will record the change and cover Thursday morning and evening.

Talk soon,

Nadia
