Exercice 1
people think that it is not very important to vote. We often hear people say, 'One vote doesn't matter, it won't change anything'. If enough people think in this way, however, then voices will go unheard. Even if you don't have knowledge about all the candidates in an election, it is important to vote.
Many 1 people think that it is not very important to vote. We often hear people say, 'One vote doesn't matter, it won't change anything'. If enough people think in this way, however, then many 2 voices will go unheard. Even if you don't have much 3 knowledge about all the candidates in an election, it is important to vote.
1 Many: 'Many people' is the correct choice here. 'People' is a countable noun, so we must use 'many' to describe it.
1 Much: 'Much' is only used to describe uncountable nouns. Because 'people' is a countable noun, we cannot use 'much' in this case.
2 many: We use 'many' to modify countable nouns, such as 'voices'.
2 much: 'Much' is only used to describe uncountable nouns. Because 'voice' is a countable noun, we cannot use 'much' in this case.
3 much: We use 'much' to describe uncountable nouns like 'knowledge'. 'Knowledge' refers to information, intelligence or wisdom.
3 many: We only use 'many' to qualify countable nouns. Because 'knowledge' is an uncountable noun, we cannot use 'many' to describe it.
Exercice 2
Select the TRUE statements from the list below according to the report.

There may be more than one correct answer!
Select the TRUE statements from the list below according to the report.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is a correct choice. Rupert's mission is to find a rugby fan who knows a lot about rugby for his interview. Neither the American tourist nor the British football fan he finds want to talk about rugby. A good indication of Rupert's bad luck is his line: "Oh deary me, it doesn't seem to be my lucky day, does it?"
This is a correct choice. The British person (who has a "cockney" accent!) says "Rugby's for posh people, innit? I ain't speaking if it ain't about football. That's the people's game in England." The adjective "posh" describes someone or something of high class, elite standing or great wealth. The term is often used pejoratively to express that someone or something is snobby or pretentious. The football fan will only talk about football, which he calls "the people's game" of England, or the game for the masses.
This is a correct choice. Rupert remarks that the Italians have "been showing great progress these past few seasons." This indicates that they have been getting better and better in recent years. "To show progress" means "to improve" or "to get better".
This is an incorrect choice. Rupert describes the French as "underdogs" in the past. This term means that they were not favored or not expected to win the tournament. The term does not mean that one is worse than a dog!
