Question 57-60 refer to the following letter.

Dear Sirs,

Four months ago, I signed up for a premium membership at Fitness First at a monthly fee of $55.

When I signed up, I was told that I was free to cancel my membership at any time, for any reason,

with no extra payment.

Since I joined, I have been extremely disappointed in the Fitness First's facilities and staff. The

locker rooms and swimming pools are poorly maintained and extremely dirty. The Jacuzzi has

been out of order for more than a month and repairs on it have not even begun. The Pilates class

15

schedule has been changed several times, without notice, and the instructor never seemed to be

fully devoted to the class.

I telephoned Fitness First and was told that - contrary to what I was told verbally when signing up

- I would have to pay a "processing fee" of $75 to end my membership. One week later, I received

a bill in the mail saying I still owed the processing fee. I refuse to pay this fee.

If you continue billing me, I will be discussing the matter with my lawyer. In addition, I will be

filing formal complaints with the City Business Bureau and the Health Department about the

unsanitary condition of your facilities.

I suggest you discuss the matter with your billing department immediately.

(A) The gym didn't provide enough information initially.

(B) The club facilities are poorly managed and maintained.

(C) The fee has been increased unexpectedly.

(D) The receptionist was very rude to her.

59. How does Ms. Londale feel about being charged the processing fee?

(A) She understands that it is part of the contract.

(B) She is happy that the fee wasn't as high as she expected.

exercise facility. We purchased new exercise equipment, renovated locker rooms and began

offering a new safety training course.

A month ago, you responded enthusiastically to the survey about the fitness center. Based on your

recommendations, new changes will be planned. They will take effect on January 2. Finally, the

employee fitness center will be open on extra three hours Monday through Thursday. Also, long-

time members will be surely pleased to hear that the popular personal manager Tony Stumpo will

be promoted to the manager of the fitness center.

We encourage more employees to take advantage of what the center has to offer. Memberships

will continue to be subsidized and remain at $20 per month. And for a limited time only, we offer

a special rate for new members. Members who sign up before December 31 will be charged only

$15 per month for their first year. Contact Tony Stumpo to sign up at this reduced rate.
