Exercice 1
Bob writes that it would be for Polly's friend to .
Bob writes that it would be useless 1 for Polly's friend to visit the offices 2.
1 useless: Bob writes: "it would be a waste of time for your friend to come down". Something that is a "waste of time" is "useless". Both terms describe the futility or inutility of something.
1 time-consuming: A "waste of time" means that a task is "not worth doing", while "time-consuming" indicates that a lot of time is required to finish the task.
1 unlikely: "Unlikely" is not synonymous with "a waste of time". The term "unlikely" describes something which is improbable or implausible. For example: That story about saving the orphans is unlikely.
2 visit the offices: Bob writes: "it would be a waste of time for your friend to come down". "To come down" simply means "to come" or "to visit". "To come down" often indicates that the distance between two locations is not very great.
2 bring his equipment: This is incorrect. Bob never writes about technical equipment.
2 go to the basement: To "come down" is not a literal invitation to a low or underground location in this context. We could say, however: "Come down to the basement and let me show you something" if we wanted to describe such a location. A basement is a space in the below buildings or house often used for storage.
2 restrain himself: Do not mistake "come down" with "calm down". To "restrain oneself" is to keep oneself from losing control, or doing or saying something extreme.
