Exercise 1

It's dictation time! Listen again, then drag and drop the missing words.

 

"-That's , my room is dark. And it's cold.

-My room is hot. I'm going to "


It's dictation time! Listen again, then drag and drop the missing words.

 

"-That's funny 1, my room is too 2 dark. And it's very 3 cold.

-My room is so 4 hot. I'm going to complain 5"

1 funny:

That's funny. Note: depending on the context, you can use funny to describe something amusing or something strange and difficult to understand. Examples: -Mary is not here yet. -That's funny, I have just seen her in the car park; the comedian tells funny jokes.

2 too:

[…] my room is too dark, which means excessively dark. Example: this tea is too hot. 

3 very:

And it's very cold. Use very before an adjective (like cold) to emphasize its meaning. Examples: this restaurant is very elegant; summer is very hot.

4 so:

My room is so hot, which means extremely hot. Example: the chocolate pudding is so good!

5 complain:

I'm going to complain. Example: I will complain about the noise. Note: the guest uses the structure subject + verb to be (I'm, which is short for I + am) + going to + infinitive without to (complain). This is a future form we use to talk about intentions.
