Reading Section

Text 1. The following text is for question no 16-18

Dear Sir/Madam,

I am writing to complain about the Cataway that I purchased from you in July. It is not working correctly.

I received the product on 23rd March. Following the instructions in the box, I carefully set up the Cataway in the corner of our garden. I allowed it to charge for the required 6 hours before turning it on.

Once it was turned on, the Cataway completely ignored all the cats that wandered in and out of our garden. It did, however, squirt water both at my daughter and at my self. This was not very pleasant. I purchased this product to get rid of cats, not to provide outdoor showering facilities for my family. I would either like this faulty product replaced with a working version or a full refund on the money I have wasted. I expect to receive a response to my letter within 14 working days or I will seek legal advice.

Yours faithfully,

Mrs. Jane Markey.

There is no one best way to deal with pests in agriculture. Pesticides are commonly used, but this may cause many problems.

Combining different management operations is the most effective way to control pests.

Firstly, the chemicals in pesticides may build up as residues in the environment. This reduces the quality of farm‟s products.

As well, pests can become resistant to pesticides gradually. This means that newer and stronger ones have to be developed.

Some pesticides affect non target animals such as fish and bees. This affects the natural balance.
