1 Monday the 17th: This is the right choice. Charlie says he is available on "Monday the 17th". Icarus correctly notes this date on his "post-it" note. Icarus could have also written "Monday 17 (November)" or "Monday 17th (November)".
1 Monday the 7th: Right day but wrong date, I'm afraid! Be careful to listen out for the "teenth" after the seven!
1 Tuesday the 17th: Right date but wrong day, I'm afraid!
1 Monday the 19th: Right day but wrong date, I'm afraid!
2 talk about the past: This is correct. Charlie says that he wants to meet up with Brian and talk about "old times". This means Charlie wants to remember and discuss shared experiences in a nostalgic way. We often call this "reminiscing". For example: "Charlie and Brian reminisced about the good times they spent together as hostages in the middle east".
2 talk about business: This is incorrect. The expression "to talk about old times" is unrelated to business. It is extremely unlikely that "discussing old times" has any business connotation whatsoever. In fact Charlie refers to Brian with an informal "nickname" (Jonesy) which suggests that the intended meeting is of a personal nature.
2 talk about a specific incident: This is incorrect. "Talking about old times" indicates no specific topic of conversation. The expression describes a general discussion of common past experiences.
2 talk about phones: This is incorrect. Charlie and Icarus spend a lot of time talking about phone numbers, however the expression "to talk about old times" is unrelated to a discussion about telephones.
3 cell phone: This is the best choice. Charlie says "it's probably best if (Brian) reaches me on my mobile". "To reach" has a few meanings, but here the term refers to "contacting someone by telephone". Note that in the UK we say "mobile phone", while in American English the term "cell phone" is used. Both terms are understood by English speakers.
3 land line: This is not the best choice. A "land line" telephone is a "main line" or "fixed-line" telephone that stays in one place. This term is usually used to describe the telephone that people have in their house or home.
3 internet phone: This is not the best choice. Although it is now possible to telephone "over the internet" using voice over IP technology (such as Skype), a "mobile phone" refers simply to a portable or cellular telephone.
3 speaker phone: This is not the best choice. A "speaker phone" is not really a type of phone but rather an option on a phone that allows you to communicate "hands-free" at a certain distance from the receiver. It is often used if several people need to talk during a phone call (and also for humiliating shy people!).
