Ejercicio 1
Luna says that all her colleagues Jean Marron.
Luna says that all her colleagues get along with Jean Marron.
get along with: Luna says of Jean: "Everyone seems to have taken a real liking to him". If we say that Polly has "taken a liking to" the test monkeys, this simply means that she "likes" or "gets along with" them. The expression "to take a liking to (someone)" also indicates that the person in question who is liked is "new". For example: Everybody has taken a liking to the director of marketing. Everyone at the office who has met Jean seems to like him.
can't stand: "To be unable to stand (someone or something)" is to hate or detest them. This is not what Luna means when she says that the staff "has taken a liking to Jean".
constantly talk to: "To constantly talk to someone" does not mean the same thing as to "take a liking to" someone.
enjoy the cooking of: Although Bruno says that Jean brings in "fresh pastries" every day, Luna never mentions that Jean cooks nor that the staff enjoys his cooking.
