Exercise 1
What are you doing with your life? It's time to stop wasting your time and construct something serious with this person who has won your heart. You can't avoid it any longer: you have to ask them to marry you. After a romantic meal, you take their hand, move slowly towards them and say:
You know what to do, there may be more than one correct answer!
You know what to do, there may be more than one correct answer!

Are you getting down on one knee to say that? Have you asked my father for my hand in marriage? Well, in that case... Yes! I will!!! How much did the ring cost?
Really?!! Wooooooowwwwwwwww! But how can we afford the wedding? I know, let's go to Las Vegas and get married by a priest dressed as Elvis! Classy!! To "get hitched" is to get married, by the way. So let's do it!
That's an odd thing to say. To "kiss and make up" is to reconcile after a fight or argument. Using this idiom in this situation isn't correct, I'm afraid. You want to marry this person, don't you? So stop avoiding the question then!
Wow, that's er... nice. Thanks. I'm afraid that your personal manners, and in particular, your tendency to release digestive gases at key romantic moments has caused the end of this love affair. It was great while it lasted, now go back to the pigsty where you belong, you dirty swine.
Exercise 2
Which of the following sentences might appear near the end of Luna's letter?
Which of the following sentences might appear near the end of Luna's letter?
Luna would never say this because she is not sending an invitation, but rather a cover letter for a job application.
This phrase is typically used to express regret at someone else's loss. It would be included in a letter to someone who has recently lost a loved one, for example.
Although an incredible talent, and one of the most desired status symbols of youth, burping the alphabet is not something you would want to mention in your cover letter.
This is the best choice here. This would be an excellent phrase to include in her cover letter.
