Select the TRUE statements, according to the conversation.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is a true statement. Ursula says that Bruno "is very efficient and can do many things at once". This indicates that she sees him as "completely competent", and she admires his abilities.
This is incorrect. Ursula says that Sigourney "did not even ask to consult" the "written records" of the initiatives implemented at Delavigne Corp. This means that Sigourney did not "request" to see the records, which is one of the reasons Ursula reproaches Sigourney.
This statement is false. Sigourney does not "apologise" or say that she is "sorry" about the article. Rather, she defends what she has written, saying "I write what I see" and "it's my duty as a journalist to report on the facts".
This is a true statement. When Sigourney asks Bruno if he liked the article, he replies "I didn't like it". He then describes the article as "a vicious attack". This tells us that Bruno is "upset" or unhappy with this article.

According to this letter, what does Mrs. Quincy want from the manager of the restaurant?

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is one of the things which Mrs Quincy asks for. She says she wants a "full apology from (the manager)". The term "apology", related to the verb "to apologize" (US) or "to apologise" (UK), means "to say sorry" or "express one's regret".
This is untrue. Mrs Quincy never writes that her son Icarus has been in hospital, and does not demand any money for clinical charges.
This is not true. Mrs Quincy does not ask for a free meal at the restaurant.
Mrs Quincy does ask for a clarification of events. She asks for an "explanation", which is synonymous with "clarification". This means that she wants the manager to explain and give details about what happened in the restaurant.

Let's take a look at a few interesting terms used in this letter!
Fill in the blanks below with the appropriate term from this letter, and don't forget to conjugate any verbs appropriately!

People in the city feel that terrorists pose a threat 1 to their safety. They feel menaced and scared.

Thieves broke in 2 (two terms) to my house last weekend, and stole my television and my baby.

I'd like to apologize 3 for my bad behaviour. I am truly sorry.
1 threat: "Threat" is the best choice here. A "threat" is a "menace" or a "danger": something or someone which puts you at risk or in danger. In the letter, Kyle Krabb writes that "the quantities of poison consumed by your son were too small to pose a threat to his life". "To pose (something)" is to create a threat/problem/danger/risk/challenge that needs to be dealt with. Example: Everest poses a challenge to even the best climbers.
2 broke in: "Broke in" is the best choice here. "To break in (to a house)" is to enter without invitation and illegally. This is usually to commit theft, a robbery, or a burglary. The simple past tense is needed here because the event happened "last weekend" Example: "It is almost impossible to break in to Buckingham Palace". Note that this verb is irregular: break in/broke in/broken in.
3 apologize: "Apologize" is the best choice here. "To apologize" is "to say sorry". Example: "He apologized for what he did, but it sounded like he was lying". Note that the UK spelling of this term is different: "to apologise".

There are loads of great words in this dialogue! Let's find some of my personal favourites!

Fill in the blanks with terms used in the dialogue. Don't forget that you might need to conjugate verbs!

In the context of the dialogue, the term we're looking for here means "to reserve": "I've just booked 1 a one-way plane ticket to Hollywood: fame and fortune, here I come!".

Now we're going to find the verb which means "to say sorry": "Young man, I want you to apologize 2 to your father for breaking his pipe!".

Finally, let's find the noun which describes a "coupon" or certificate used instead of money to purchase items: "My mother gave me a voucher 3 worth $800 for my birthday. Now that's love.".
1 booked: "Booked" is the right answer here. The verb "to book" means "to reserve", or to "buy a ticket". Note that, as a noun, the term "a book" refers to an object made of bound pages containing text, which can be found in libraries. Another example: "Could you book the concert tickets please? My credit card has expired.".
2 apologize: "Apologize" is the best answer here. To "apologize (to someone for something)" is to tell them that you are "sorry" for something you did. Example: "I'd like to apologize to the whole class for my bad behavior". Note that in the UK this term is written "apologise".
3 voucher: "Voucher" is the best choice. The term "voucher" shares a similar meaning with "coupon" and describes a document which has a set value and can be exchanged for goods. Example: "Vouchers make great birthday presents for people you don't like".
Exercice 5
Select the TRUE statement(s) from the list below.

Select the TRUE statement(s) from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is true. In the dialogue, Edward says "Aren't you even going to apologise?". To "apologise" (UK) or "to apologize" (US) means "to say sorry". Example: "I apologised to my mother after I forgot her birthday. I hope she will forgive me!".
This is the only false statement here. Edward is sad because he looks "like a tramp" himself. A "tramp" is a homeless person, but Edward does not suggest that the other man in the dialogue is a tramp: he uses the term to describe himself!
This statement is true. Edward says that this is the "first day of (his) really important life-changing internship". An "internship" is time spent experiencing the world of work. Many young people do internships. Example: "The new intern begins his internship on Tuesday. I hope he makes good coffee".
