This statement is false. Ray Upton informs Brent and Moira that he and Rachid "decided to land the helicopter in the parking lot" of a Taco Bell restaurant. If a vehicle "breaks down", then it has a mechanical fault which stops it from working properly. "To land" a flying vehicle is to bring it to the ground. The traffic copter has not broken down, it is just parked in a "car park" or "parking lot".
Moira speculates that Ray is lying on the beach, not that he is "lying" (or telling an untruth) to her. In English, the verb "to lie" has two primary meanings: to position the body horizontally (for example the way someone sleeps on a bed) AND to tell an untruth, or to deceive someone. Note that in the progressive (or ING) form, the verbs are conjugated exactly the same way, and so the context determines the verb's meaning. The verb "to lie" in the sense of positioning the body horizontally is irregular: lie/lay/lain.
This statement is true. Towards the end of the broadcast, Rachid states that "there are so many gorgeous women on the beach". The adjective "gorgeous" is synonymous with "beautiful" or "splendid" when used to describe a person.
This statement is true. Moira suspects that Ray and Rachid are on a beach because she hears the "sound of waves crashing against the shore". On the surface of a body of water, a "wave" is a moving swell or ridge which sometimes breaks once it reaches the "shore" (the point where land and sea meet). The verb "to crash" describes a collision or impact between objects, people etc.

1 beautiful: The adjective 'gorgeous' generally indicates the beauty of an object or person. Someone who is 'beautiful' is very attractive, or has a perfect appearance. In this chat, Donna writes that Brian Jones is 'gorgeous'. Note that attractive men can also be called 'handsome'.
1 smart: The adjective 'gorgeous' doesn't describe intelligence, but beauty; the only thing that matters. That's a joke. One day I'm sure I'll meet a woman who doesn't care about my Quasimodo-like looks and appreciates my wit and charm.
1 polite: The adjective 'gorgeous' doesn't describe a 'polite' or 'well-mannered' person.
1 tall: The adjective 'gorgeous' doesn't describe a 'tall' or 'physically big' person.
2 He's got a very attractive personality: The expression '(to charm) the pants off (somebody)' is used to intensify such verbs as 'charm', 'bore', 'scare', 'talk', etcetera. When Donna writes that Brian could 'charm the pants off a donkey', she means that Brian is SO charming, and has SUCH an attractive personality, that he would be able to seduce even a donkey. Note that this expression is not exclusively used with 'a donkey', it is just an example which demonstrates just how powerful Brian's charms are. Other examples: 'That lecture bored the pants off me', 'That film scared the pants off me'. 'Pants' are 'trousers' in the US, and 'underwear' in the UK.
2 He'd look good without pants on: This idiom doesn't express that Brian is physically attractive, but rather that he is very charming.
2 He physically resembles a donkey: This idiom doesn't express that Brian resembles a donkey, but rather that he is very charming.
2 He's as handsome as a horse: This idiom doesn't express that Brian is physically attractive, but rather that he is very charming. 'Handsome' is a term which describes great beauty, used mainly for men (and occasionally animals).
3 He'd make a good boyfriend or husband: The expression 'he's a catch' indicates that a man would make a good boyfriend or husband. The expression uses a fishing analogy, comparing a man or woman to a fish which can be caught by a person. When Susie writes that Brian is 'a catch', she means that he would make a good boyfriend or husband, or that any woman who 'catches' him would be lucky!
3 He must be dating somebody already: The expression used by Susie doesn't indicate that she believes that Brian is already in a relationship.
3 I'd like to see him wrestling naked: The expression used by Susie doesn't indicate that she wants to see Brian 'wrestling' in the nude, although she might like this anyway.
3 He's probably gay: The expression used by Susie doesn't indicate that she believes that Brian is gay.
3 He must be good at sports: The expression used by Susie doesn't indicate that she believes Brian is good at athletics.

With the appropriate terms used in the dialogue, describe the woman Philip is talking to!

Nationality: Australian 1
Height: tall 2
Hair colour: blonde 3
Philip tells the woman that he thinks she is very attractive. He describes her as: [not done] gorgeous 4
1 Australian: "Australian" is the correct answer. In the dialogue, Philip says "are you Australian?" and the woman replies "I am", which confirms that she is indeed Australian. Australians come from Australia, which is a big country famous for kangaroos, koalas, and Kylie.
2 tall: "Tall" is the best choice here. A person's "height" refers to whether they are "tall" or "short". In the dialogue, Philip says "you're tall", meaning that the woman is not short! A useful question is "how tall are you?" to ask someone to tell you their height ("I am 6 foot 2", for example).
2 short: This is incorrect. "Short" people include children, Nicolas Sarkozy, and Tom Cruise. The woman in the dialogue is "tall", which is in fact the OPPOSITE of "short".
2 fat: This is incorrect. "Fat" people are "heavy" or "overweight". There is no suggestion in the dialogue that the woman in the dialogue is "fat". Moreover, the term "height" does not apply to a person's weight.
2 thin: This is incorrect. "Thin" people are "slim", "skinny", or "light". The dialogue does not mention whether the woman is fat, thin, or average. Moreover, the term "height" does not apply to a person's weight.
3 blonde: "Blonde" is the term we were looking for here. If you "are blonde" or "have blonde hair", then you have pale or yellow hair. Famous blondes include Marilyn Monroe and Luke Skywalker. Note that this term can also be written "blond", without the "e"!
3 red: Sorry, but the woman in the dialogue doesn't have red hair. People with red hair include Chuck Norris, Ronald McDonald, and me.
3 brown: Sorry, but the woman in the dialogue doesn't have brown hair. People with brown hair include Bruno Delavigne and Jennifer Lopez.
3 black: Sorry, but the woman in the dialogue doesn't have black hair. People with black hair include Demi Moore and Jackie Chan.
4 gorgeous: "Gorgeous" is the right answer. If someone is "gorgeous", they are very attractive, "handsome", or "beautiful". We can also describe inanimate objects as "gorgeous". Here's an example: "Your apartment is gorgeous. I wish I lived here!".
