Fill in the blanks with terms used in Philip's letter.

This term means "to be in debt to". "You owe 2 me $9.50 for the cocktail I bought you last month."

1 overdue: "Overdue" is the right answer here. Payment which is "overdue" is late: it should have already been paid, but has not. Another example: "Thank you for your answer at last. It was long overdue". (Here, "long overdue" means "very late").

2 owe: "Owe" is the right answer here. To "owe someone (money)" is to be in debt to them: you should pay them this money. Example: "I still owe the bank $800 because of the loan I took out to buy my new car".

3 outstanding: "Outstanding" is the best choice here. An "outstanding (bill)" is one which has not yet been paid or "dealt with". In another context, "outstanding" can mean "extraordinary". Some examples: "Jimi is an outstanding guitarist", "You still have three outstanding bills".

练习 2

What is the best title for this letter?

"Overdue payment: final warning"

This is the correct choice. A payment which is "overdue" is "late" or "delayed". Philip's letter is a final warning before legal action is introduced. A "warning" refers to a precautionary statement or notice. Example: The police officer gave me a warning because it was my first offense.

"Request for delivery of shipment"

This is incorrect. Philip's letter isn't a request for delivery of shipment. "Delivery of shipment" refers to the distribution of an order or the transportation of cargo.

"Confirmation of reception needed"

This is incorrect. Philip's letter isn't a confirmation of reception needed. A "confirmation of reception" is a statement to verify that a letter or order has been successfully received.

"Request for invoice"

This is incorrect. Philip's letter isn't a request for invoice. An "invoice" is a bill or a request for money. Philip is not asking Soppy Soaps for an invoice, he states that he has requested money from Soppy Soaps three times already.
