CELPIP Reading Part 1Reading Correspondence Practice

Hi Reid,

I wanted to follow up about Saturday's tree planting along the community pathway. We planned to prepare every planting bed before the volunteers arrived. Everything appeared to be settled, and I had planned around the original arrangement. The problem is that only half of the soil will reach the site Friday. The supplier divided the order after one truck required repairs. As a result, the western planting area will not have enough soil in the morning.

I first checked which beds could be completed with the first delivery. The eastern section has enough soil for all twelve trees assigned there. Before suggesting a change, I reviewed our earlier messages and the details already confirmed. One detail to keep in mind is that you are leading the team that marks safe digging locations. My preferred solution is starting all volunteers in the eastern section and opening the western section after lunch. That would work best because the morning crew can remain productive while the second truck arrives.

That approach would preserve the parts of the plan that still work for everyone. If this is acceptable, I can update the remaining details as soon as I receive your reply. Another possibility is reducing the event to twelve trees. The difficulty with that option is that the remaining trees would need another watering and volunteer schedule. I considered cancelling the arrangement entirely, but that would create unnecessary work for everyone involved. For that reason, I would rather use one of the practical alternatives already available.

The practical detail I have not resolved is that the tool trailer must be moved when the second truck enters the service lane. Please let me know how that part should be handled if the preferred plan is approved. I kept the records about Saturday's tree planting along the community pathway together for this review. No other related plan needs to change while this matter is reviewed. A written reply about starting all volunteers in the eastern section and opening the western section after lunch would prevent confusion.

Thank you for considering the timing and practical effects of this request. I need your answer by Friday at three. The supplier needs an unobstructed delivery route confirmed. Most importantly, I am asking you to approve the phased work plan and move the trailer at noon. Once I hear from you, I will update the crew map and reserve the service lane.

Thanks,

Hana
