1 forecast: A "forecast" is a prediction. The term is often used in the context of weather reports and meteorology, however the term can also be used in other contexts, notably financial ones. Example: The sales forecast for the next two quarters is promising. As a verb, "to forecast" is to predict.
2 highs: As a noun, "highs" are the upper, maximum range, or the "peak" of something (such as temperatures). Example: We had highs in the 90's all summer long. The terms "highs" and "lows" are commonly used to express the maximum and minimum temperatures (throughout the day, week, etc.).
3 sunshine: "Sunshine" refers to the light emitted by that wonderful star, the sun. If the weatherman has predicted "sunshine" it makes sense that Horatio would bring sunglasses and a towel to the beach.
4 wind: "Wind" is moving air. "Flying a kite" and "sailing" are two activities which require wind (to propel the kite and boat).

This is a true statement. Bruno explains that the past quarter has not been as "profitable as expected". In addition, Ira mentions that today Delavigne stock has "dropped 5.67 points", which means it has gone down by 5.67 points.
This is a false statement. The weather is not mentioned in this dialogue. Bruno does mention a "forecast", but it is a financial "forecast", or prediction - not a "weather forecast"!
This is a false statement. While share prices have gone down over the past quarter, there is no indication in the dialogue that "profits" have declined over the whole year. At no point in this dialogue are profits discussed. A "steady decline" refers to a continuous reduction, or downward trend.
This statement is correct. Ira says that Bruno "predicted growth of nearly 3 percent over last year's second quarter earnings", and that "since those figures were published this morning, (Delavigne Corp's) stock has already dropped 5.67 points". Ira clearly believes that Bruno's original financial predictions for Delavigne Corp were inaccurate. In this context, "to predict growth" is to state that financial results will get better.

This is a true statement. Donna takes calls from people in various countries around the world: "Sergio from Sao Paolo", "Rupert from Chelsea" and "Gerard in Paris". Moreover Donna gives her number "from anywhere in the world" indicating that the phone lines are open to listeners from all around the world.
This statement is false. Although Donna does mention salsa classes, it is because she "took lessons as a little girl from a very handsome man". Donna took (or attended) salsa lessons when she was young, but she does not teach them herself.
This is a true statement. Rupert from Chelsea asks Donna "what's the temperature in Scotland next week?" Donna replies "Highs in the low 20s, slight chance of rain". Donna is giving Rupert a weather report for Scotland for the following week.

Match the headline with the correct article below. Only three of the headlines are used, and none is used more than once!
Last year was the worst on record for perfume giant Kalvin Krime. Sales figures dropped dramatically due to stiff competition from up-and-coming Delavigne Corp, which increased its market share by 15%. Despite this, CEO Kalvin Krime announced yesterday that "the worst is now over" and predicted an increase in profits next year.
The previously privately-owned DataSeed Systems has announced that the general public can finally own a piece of the successful company. The move is apparently aimed to raise capital for a much-needed IT revamp and also a pool table for the staff recreation room. Despite healthy profits, lots of employees had been leaving the company. A lack of leisure facilities has been suggested as being one of the main causes.
Once again it would seem that Delavigne's bank balance is smelling of roses. A very smug company spokesperson reported that revenues from world-wide perfume sales are up by 20% compared to this time last year. The company's CEO has attributed this success to a controversial advertising campaign in which customers are hypnotized into buying Delavigne products.

1 Optimistic forecast from CEO: "Optimistic forecast" is the best headline to begin this article. We read the Kalvin Krime, CEO of his company, is "optimistic" or "hopeful" about the future of his company. A "forecast" is a "prediction" of future events. This headline means that the senior manager of a company (Kalvin Krime in this case) had made hopeful or positive predictions.
1 Delavigne hypnotized by stock market success: To be "hypnotized" is to be "enchanted". There is no suggestion of Delavigne being "enchanted" in this article, so this choice does not make sense here.
1 Shares for everyone!: In this context, a "share" is a fraction of a company's stocks or capital which can be divided either among employees or private citizens. There is no suggestion in this article that "shares" will be available for the population.
1 Icarus Quincy lost in New York: To be "lost" is to be "stranded" or "unable to find one's way". There is no suggestion of Icarus being "lost in New York" in the article.
1 Turnover increases: Turnover is not currently increasing at Kalvin Krime, rather, the company's CEO hopes that their profits WILL increase in the future.
1 Pessimistic outlook: This is the opposite of what this article is saying. The "outlook", "forecast", or "predictions" in this article are positive, not negative.
2 Shares for everyone!: "Shares for everyone" summarises this article the best. In this context, a "share" is a fraction of a company's stocks or capital which can be divided either among employees or private citizens.

2 Icarus Quincy lost in New York: To be "lost" is to be "stranded" or "unable to find one's way". There is no suggestion of Icarus being "lost in New York" in the article.
2 Turnover increases: "Turnover" refers to the amount of business transacted during a given period of time for a certain company. To "increase" is to "become bigger". This article does not discuss these issues.
2 Pessimistic outlook: "Outlook" shares a similar meaning with "predictions" or "future". This article does not focus on a negative future.
3 Turnover increases: This is the most appropriate headline for this article. "Turnover" refers to the amount of business transacted during a given period of time for a certain company. To "increase" is to "become bigger". We read that "revenues from world-wide perfume sales are up by 20%", meaning that sales have increased.
3 Delavigne hypnotized by Stock Market success: To be "hypnotized" is to be "enchanted". There is no suggestion of Delavigne being "enchanted" in this article, so this choice does not make sense here. Rather, they are "hypnotising" customers through special advertising!

This is a correct usage of the term "forecast". A "forecast" is a prediction about the future, based on information available now. The term is often used in the context of weather reports and meteorology, however the term can also be used in other contexts, notably financial ones. Example: The sales FORECAST for the next two quarters is promising.
This is a correct usage of the term "forecast". Here the term is used as a verb: the simple past tense of "to forecast" is "forecast" (although "forecasted" is also acceptable). "To forecast" is a synonym of "to predict".
This is an incorrect usage of the term "forecast". The term "forecast" is restricted to contexts where information or data is studied in order to make future predictions. The term is not used to talk about future appointments. In this context, "planned" (from the verb "to plan") would be more appropriate.
This is an incorrect usage of the term "forecast". We do not use the term "forecast" if we are talking about "planning" or "organizing" something. It is only used when talking about what will happen in the future based on current information.
