This statement is true. Enrique tells Brent and Moira that last Sunday's match between Boca Juniors and River Plate "ended in an amazing 0-0 draw". A "draw" refers to the result of a match in which both players or teams score the same number of points, and there is no decisive winner. Note that "draw" is chiefly used in British English whereas in American English the term "tie" is more common.
This is a false statement. The topic of this report is not American football at all, but European football (or soccer). Brent is actually disappointed because Enrique won't be speaking about American football, a topic which excites Brent.
This is a false statement. Although the "World Cup" is mentioned, the main topic of today's report is a match played in Buenos Aires between Boca Juniors and River Plate. Enrique says that it was a year ago that "the Italians won the world cup in Germany" but this is only complementary information which introduces the real topic of this broadcast.
This is a false statement. Enrique says there is some "exciting football being played in Argentina" and describes the match between Boca Juniors and River Plate as "incredible". Enrique was not "bored" (or uninterested) by the match, he found it "incredible" and "exciting".

1 draw: If a match ends in "a draw", both teams have scored the same number of points and neither team has won or lost. In the broadcast, Enrique tells Brent and Moira that the match on Sunday ended "in an amazing 0-0 draw". This term is frequently used in British English, whereas the term "tie" is more common in American English.
2 helmet: A "helmet" is the protective headgear worn during certain activities. In the broadcast, Brent describes American football as "300 pound men wearing helmets and shoulder pads". Helmets are also worn by soldiers, firemen, policeman, motorcyclists and cyclists.
3 shoulder: The "shoulder" is the part of the body between the neck and the top of the arm. In the broadcast, Brent describes American football as "300 pound men wearing helmets and shoulder pads".

4 pounds: A "pound" is a unit of weight measurement used in the United States. Brent initially believes that this report is about American football and refers to "three-hundred-pound men wearing helmets".

This statement is false. When Kevin asks Mrs Lee, "it's almost 6 o'clock, don't you need to close the factory soon?" Mrs Lee replies, "we never stop here". This means that the China Corp doesn't close at 6pm and continues to function after this time.
This statement is false. Kevin says that he has brought some "prototype drawings" of the bottle designs to show Mrs Lee. A "prototype drawing" is a "picture" or "illustration" that shows a preliminary design. Kevin doesn't say that he has any "sample bottles" with him. A "sample" is an "example" or "model" intended to be a representative of the whole.
This statement is false. Mrs Lee tells Kevin that they do not need to import any additional materials, and that they make their "own glass right here in the factory."
This is a true statement. Mrs Lee says, "We make our own glass right here in the factory." This means that ChinaCorp manufactures the glass for the bottles they produce.
Ejercicio 4
Luna writes that she has compiled a list.
How else could we express this same idea?
How else could we express this same idea?
Luna writes that she has compiled a list.
How else could we express this same idea?
How else could we express this same idea?
This is the best choice. In English, one "makes" a list. "To make a list" expresses the same idea as Luna's phrase "I have compiled a list".
This is incorrect. In English, we never say "I have done a list".
This is something which isn't said in English. We sometimes use the expression "to draw up a contract" using the phrasal verb "to draw up", which carries a similar meaning to the verb "to draft". However, by itself, "to draw a list" has no real significance.
This is incorrect. In English, we never say "I have taken a list".
