Lesson3

Dear Jessica,

Thank you for your third message.  My comments follow.

Sincerely,

Prof. Sue Garreis

Dear Professor Garreis,

  Thank you for your reply and corrections of my English.

  There is my homework following:

  
1.I usually write my messages on Sunday evening in Arnold MD.  When I am finished, it is late Monday morning in Chiba.  When do you first check for my  reply to your message? Tell me the day of the week and what time of day you check.

  I usually check for your reply to my message on Tuesday morning every week.

Thank you. 


2.Visit America's largest telecommunications company, AT&T.  Click here for a recent press release.  How many Telepresence Solution rooms does AT&T plan to  have in 2009?  (Hint: The answer is in a one sentence paragraph toward the end of the press release.)

  AT&T plans to have 50 Telepresence solution rooms in 2009.

Correct!


3.Visit a large public university on the east coast, the University of Maryland, and see the Department of Accounting and Information Assurance.

  I have seen the Department of Accounting and Information Assurance.

Good.


4.Use any search engine to search the Net for "balance sheet." Please use quotation marks around the phrase.  Tell me how many "hits" you have, i.e., how       many documents have that phrase in it? Tell me what search engine you used.  For example, I used Google to find "balance sheet."  There were about  42,900,000 (forty-two million nine hundred thousand) hits.  Last year there were 20,300,000 (twenty million three hundred thousand) hits.

  I used Yahoo to find "accounting balance sheet". There were about 29,000,000 hits.

Thank you.  And the number increases every year.


5.Finally, visit a very helpful Internet site for accounting information (RAW).  It is maintained by Rutgers University in New Jersey.  See the "Accounting  Resources."  This site is seen with Netscape 7.1 or higher or with Internet Explorer 6.0 or higher.  The Accounting Resources page takes you to large  accounting firms, standard setting agencies and many other places.

It is a benefit to me to learn about accounting.

This site has quite a few interesting links.  It is a nice gateway for accounting.
  
Sincerely, yours

Jessica
