Two pieces of information that you have learned from this song

1. To "deck the halls" means to decorate. In this case, they are decorating for Christmas. A bough is a branch, so they are hanging up branches of holly.
2. The Yule log was the wood from the largest tree near the village that could be found. Yule originated in Scandinavia where it is extremely cold and dark; as such, the 12 days of Yule (later 12 days of Christmas) were the 12 days when there was no sunlight around the winter solstice. Each spark from the Yule log supposedly foretold each new life (livestock and whatnot) that would be born in the village in the New Year. The holiday of Yule and the Yule log are pagan in origin and the holiday, as with most winter solstice holidays, is meant to celebrate hope during the darkest time of the year.

Friday's Assignment, November 28

Task 1:

Lon: What’s this? 

Abigail: It’s a  memo about a safety inspection scheduled for next week. 

Lon: A safety inspection? How are we ever going to pass a safety inspection? 

Abigail: What do you mean? This isn't an unsafe workplace. We've had a good record. None of our employees have had on the job injuries this year and we've never had a fatality I don’t understand why you’re so worried. 

Lon: From what I've heard, the inspectors don’t just look at injury rates. They look for the smallest hazard that may be remotely dangerous  If we get cited, we may be shut down . 

Abigail: With all due respect, I don’t think that’s how it works. Yes, the inspector will look at our work environment and our gear  and machinery to make sure there are no hazards or toxic substances. 

Lon: That’s what I’m worried about. 

Abigail: But, if they find a violation, we’ll get a chance to fix the problem. They won’t shut us down without giving us a chance to comply  with their safety standards. 

Lon: I sure hope you’re right. 

Abigail: Me, too. We’ll know after next week’s inspection.

Mrs. Lucinda Minto, Manager

Monday, September 12, 2009

Dear Lucinda,

On August 25, 2009, I bought a floor lamp in your store. Unfortunately, I was not able to use it because of it did not work properly. Every time I switched it on, it switched off by itself after about 30 minutes. I took the lamp back to the store but the salesgirl refused to give me my money back. I had a telephone conversation with you about it and you confirmed that your store’s policy is to exchange faulty merchandise rather than refund the money. Unfortunately, the lamp that I want is no longer available at your store. Given these circumstances, I would like to request that you refund my money.

I want to hear from you soon.

Cheers,

Marisa Romer
