Module 3
Worksheet: Suggested Answers
Attachment 1: Horoscope (1)
1. Given Pat’s current plans for work, family and travel, does this horoscope mention anything he needs to be careful about?
Possible answers:
Career: If you are changing jobs, later in the year is safer. (Students who mentioned this clearly got the full point, since it is a warning relevant to Pat’s job search.)
Love: A “foreign setting” may be a problem
Travel: Find good weather, appreciate your loved ones
Attachment 2: Job Ad (2)
2. Is Pat a good candidate for this job, given what we know about his educational and employment background? Why or why not?
Generally his work experience and education (BA in Info Sci) fit the requirements, although he doesn’t have specific experience in the air travel field (listed as an advantage). Since this is more or less an entry-level position, he seems like a good candidate.
3. The job description states that being a good listener is important. If he gets this job, who will Pat need to interact with?
Possible answers: General system users (end-users), internal departments/team members/ business units, third party vendors, junior staff
Attachment 3A/B: Vacuum Cleaner (3)
4. According to the safety information, which of the following should you AVOID with this machine? (Note: More than one answer may be correct.)
a and c (avoid vacuuming liquids and removing the battery)
5. Which picture in the manual shows you how to turn the vacuum on?
Picture 2
6. What kind of battery does this vacuum use? Based on the information in the attachment, name one advantage and one disadvantage of this kind of battery over the other kind commonly used in cordless vacuum cleaners.
Kind of battery: NiMH (nickel metal hydride)
Advantage: less expensive, lasts longer in hot weather
Disadvantage: heavier, charges more slowly, “memory effect” can be a problem
Attachment 4: Recipe (2)
7. As the introduction to the recipe explains, there are regional variations in preparing this dish. Does this version of the recipe reflect the central style or the southern style of preparation? Why?
Southern – rather large pan, eaten wrapped in greens instead of rice paper
8. How spicy is this dish? How could you reduce the degree of spiciness?
It’s probably not very spicy, except for the garlic and the chillies in the dipping sauce. Take these out to reduce spiciness.
Attachment 5: Weather (2)
From the months listed below, which one would be best for a visit to Taiwan, based on the information given? Fill in “best” in the blank for that month. For the other months, fill in one problem in terms of weather that could occur. (1/2 point for each answer)
February: rainy and cold, except in the South
April: effect from sandstorms in China, rain
June: heat, rain, typhoons
November: best time
