Reading Comprehension

Ingrid Solberg [11:12 A.M.] Tomás, the printer just called. They need the final proofs for the June issue by 3:00 this afternoon instead of tomorrow morning. Tomás Herrera [11:15 A.M.] That's tight. Two photos in the cover story still don't have captions, and Dr. Okafor hasn't approved her interview quotes yet. Ingrid Solberg [11:17 A.M.] Can you write the captions? I'll call Dr. Okafor and read the quotes to her over the phone. Tomás Herrera [11:19 A.M.] Sure. But what if she wants changes? The layout is already full. Ingrid Solberg [11:20 A.M.] One thing at a time. Tomás Herrera [11:21 A.M.] Fair enough. I'll send you the captions within the hour.

DUNMORE (May 4) - Harbourside Credit Union announced on Tuesday that it will offer free financial-planning workshops for owners of small businesses beginning in June. [1] The workshops, which will be held on the first Wednesday evening of each month at the credit union's Market Street branch, will cover topics such as managing cash flow, preparing for tax season, and applying for loans. "Many of our members run small shops or work for themselves, and they have told us that they find financial planning confusing," said Aditya Rao, the credit union's community programs manager. "These sessions are meant to give them practical tools they can use the next day." [2] Each workshop will be led by a volunteer from a local accounting firm. [3] Participants do not need to be members of the credit union, but space is limited to 25 people per session, and registration is required. Harbourside Credit Union, which has four branches in the region, has offered similar workshops for first-time home buyers since 2019. [4] Those sessions have been so popular that the credit union recently added a second monthly date.

Rafael Ortega [2:02 P.M.]: Quick check before the 3:00 meeting. Where are we on the city budget story for Sunday's paper? Chen Jia [2:04 P.M.]: The main article is finished. It's about 1,200 words. I'm still waiting for the mayor's office to comment on the library cuts. Olumide Adeyemi [2:05 P.M.]: The charts are done, but the transport figures changed this morning, so I need to redraw one of them. Rafael Ortega [2:06 P.M.]: How long will that take? Olumide Adeyemi [2:07 P.M.]: Give me an hour. Sofia Lindqvist [2:09 P.M.]: I can help with that. I've finished today's website updates. Rafael Ortega [2:10 P.M.]: Thanks, Sofia. Chen, 1,200 words is more than we planned. Can you get it down to 900? Chen Jia [2:12 P.M.]: I'll try, but the section on school funding really needs the space. Rafael Ortega [2:13 P.M.]: Then let's make that section a separate article. It could run on Monday. Chen Jia [2:14 P.M.]: That works for me. Rafael Ortega [2:15 P.M.]: Great. And if the mayor's office hasn't replied by 6:00, we'll say that they didn't respond.
