Choose the expression which could best begin this email (just before the phrase "Bruno is a very busy man"):
Choose the expression which could best begin this email (just before the phrase "Bruno is a very busy man"):
Because both Polly and Kevin work for the Delavigne Corporation, it doesn't make sense to write "on behalf of..." in this email.
This is a good way to start a fairy tale, but not a professional email.
"As a result of company policy" suggests that the email will be related to company rules and regulations. In this email, Polly is simply explaining to Kevin that Bruno is busy.
"As you may already be aware" is an expression which suggests that one person already has knowledge of a given subject. To be "aware (of the issue)" means to "have knowledge" or "be informed" of the issue, for example: I am aware of the problem and I will deal with it soon.

In the sentence, "while in the station please be aware of pickpockets", what is the meaning of the phrase "be aware of"?
"To point out" is not a synonym for "to be aware of. "To point out" means to 'indicate", for example: When we drove through the village I was able to point out my old house.
"Be aware of" does not express the active sense of "looking for someone or something".
"Be aware of" does not mean "to be afraid of".
This is the best choice here. "to be aware" means "to be conscious of" or "to be attentive". In this case, the announcer is warning the people in the station to be careful.

1 pain: "Pain" can be physical or mental. Physical pain is often a distressing sensation in a part of the body, such as "back pain". Mental pain is emotional distress, for example: "the bad news caused me great pain". The adjective "painful" is commonly used to describe physical and mental suffering. For example: "my injury is very painful" or "I received some painful news".
2 aware: To be aware (of a problem) means to have knowledge, understanding or to be informed (about a problem). "To be aware" can also be used to indicate a sense of realisation or perception. For example: "I suddenly became aware of a strange noise".
3 warned: "To warn" means to give notice, advice, or intimation to (a person, group, etc.) of danger, possible harm, or anything else unfavorable. For example: "they warned him of a plot against him" or "she was warned that her life was in danger".
Exercice 4
" As I'm sure you are aware, Bob has been with you for 5 years and oversees the IT department."
This sentence could be rewritten:
", Bob has been with you for 5 years and the IT department."
This sentence could be rewritten:
", Bob has been with you for 5 years and the IT department."
" As I'm sure you are aware, Bob has been with you for 5 years and oversees the IT department."
This sentence could be rewritten:
"As you probably know 1, Bob has been with you for 5 years and supervises 2 the IT department."
This sentence could be rewritten:
"As you probably know 1, Bob has been with you for 5 years and supervises 2 the IT department."
1 As you probably know: This is correct. To be "aware" means to "have knowledge" or "be informed". For example: I am aware that eating 5 portions of fruit and vegetables a day is good for my health. "As I'm sure you are aware" is a common phrase that means "as you probably know" or "as you have probably been informed". Fred Fuchar uses this phrase because he assumes, as Bruno is a good boss, that he probably knows that Bob performs an important role in the Delavigne IT department.
1 As you'll be surprised to learn: This is incorrect. The phrase "as you'll be surprised to learn" suggests that the details of Bob's involvement at Delavigne are unknown to Bruno. It is probably not a good idea to presume that a CEO doesn't know about his company! Moreover, the phrase "as you'll be surprised to learn" has the opposite meaning to "as I'm sure you are aware".
1 As you've probably forgotten: This is incorrect. The terms "forgotten" and "aware" are unrelated. If something is forgotten, it is no longer remembered.
1 As I was pleased to discover: This is incorrect. The phrase "as I was pleased to discover" suggests that the details of Bob's involvement at Delavigne were unknown to Fred Fuchar. This would not only be unprofessional, but has a different meaning to "as I'm sure you are aware"!
2 supervises: This is correct. In this context, to "oversee" means to "direct", "supervise" or "watch over". For example: As factory manager, Mr Smith oversees production at the factory. According to the information in Fred Fuchar's email, we can assume that Bob Carter is more or less in charge of the Delavigne IT department.
2 supports: This is incorrect. The terms "oversee" and "support" are not synonyms. In a business context, "to support" means to assist or to aid. For example: When the Delavigne finance department is busy, Brian Jones sometimes provides administrative support.
2 collaborates with: This is incorrect. The terms "oversee" and "collaborate" are not synonyms. "To collaborate" means to work together. For example: James and his brother collaborated on a book about giraffes. "To collaborate" does not contain the idea of leading or directing.
2 evaluates: This is incorrect. The terms "oversee" and "evaluate" are not synonyms. "To evaluate" means to examine and judge carefully. For example: Luna is currently evaluating candidates' CVs for an accounting vacancy at Delavigne.
Exercice 5
"...some of you are not up-to-date on the hiring policy"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not the policy here"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not the policy here"
"...some of you are not up-to-date on the hiring policy"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not aware of 1 the employment 2 policy here"
Luna's sentence could be rephrased: "some of you are not aware of 1 the employment 2 policy here"
1 aware of: This is the correct choice. To be "up-to-date (on current events) is to know about or understand current events. Example: "I'm not up-to-date on the situation in the Middle East. What has happened there recently?". Similarly, an "up-to-date computer" is one which is new or current. "To be aware of a situation" and to be 'up-to-date" share a close meaning in this context.
1 in agreement with: This isn't the best choice. To "be in agreement with (someone) is to share someone's opinion, or to think the same way about something. To be 'up-to-date (on a situation)" is unrelated.
1 adhering to: This isn't the best choice. To "adhere to (a rule)" is to follow or obey it, which doesn't mean the same thing as to be "up-to-date".
2 employment: This is the right answer. "Hiring" and "employment" both refer to the practice of giving people jobs. Example: "Luna DeLune is the HR Director, and deals with hiring new employees to the company".
2 termination: This is incorrect. "Firing" refers to terminating someone's employment, perhaps due to incompetence or repeated mistakes. "Firing" and "hiring" have opposite meanings.
2 compensation: This is incorrect. "Compensation" refers to payment in a business context. This idea is unrelated to the "hiring policy" which Luna is referring to.
