Do not confuse a "maiden name" with a "maiden" (an unmarried girl, or a virgin). In English, the terms "family name", "last name" and "surname" are all synonymous.
Although the maiden name of a customer's mother is commonly used to identify accounts and customer files, "a maiden name" is unrelated to a social security number and is not really a code.
Do not confuse "maiden" with "maid". The "last name" of a person is their "family name".
Do not confuse "maiden" with "maid".
This is the best choice here. A "maiden name" is the surname of a woman before she marries (and takes the surname of her husband). In English, a "surname" is synonymous with the terms "last name" as well as "family name".
Exercice 2
There is a third person in the studio with Brent and Moira this morning. Her first name is
Although Brent calls her a 'culture lover', she prefers to be referred to professionally as a .
Although Brent calls her a 'culture lover', she prefers to be referred to professionally as a .
There is a third person in the studio with Brent and Moira this morning. Her first name is Belinda 1
Although Brent calls her a 'culture lover', she prefers to be referred to professionally as a critic 2.
Although Brent calls her a 'culture lover', she prefers to be referred to professionally as a critic 2.
1 Belinda: The correspondent's first name is 'Belinda'. Note: the correspondent's full name (first name + middle name + surname) is 'Belinda B. Adams'. 'Belinda' = first name; 'Adams' = last name/surname/family name. The 'B' is an abbreviation of Belinda's middle name ('B' for Bethany!). Abbreviating the middle name by one letter is quite common in the US. Examples: John F. Kennedy, Samuel L. Jackson, Harold P. Warbuckle.
2 critic: This answer is correct. A 'culture critic' or 'cultural critic' is someone who gives reviews of art, film and theatre (culture!). In the broadcast, Brent calls Belinda a 'culture lover'. Whilst this is not entirely an incorrect description of her job, she quickly corrects Brent and says 'I believe the term you are looking for is 'culture critic'.

1 JEAN: "Jean" is the appropriate first name to enter here. Sometimes this part of a person's name is referred to as their "Christian name". Example: "I don't tell strangers my first name".
1 MARRON: This is Jean's "last name" or "surname". This is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
1 JEAN MARRON: The form does not ask for Jean's "full name" here.
1 MR: "Mr" (pronounced "mister") is Jean's "title", and this is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
2 MARRON: "Marron" is the appropriate part of Jean's name to enter here. This is his "last name" or "surname". Example: "I changed my surname when I was 18 because I hated people laughing at me".
2 JEAN: This is Jean's "first name" or "Christian name". This is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
2 JEAN MARRON: The form does not ask for Jean's "full name" here.
2 MR: "Mr" (pronounced "mister") is Jean's "title", and this is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
3 Address: "Address" is the best term to describe the details which Jean has entered here. This is the place where he lives. Example: "Please give me your address so I can come to visit you every day for the rest of your life".
3 Living: "Living" is part of the verb "to live". It does not make sense to use a verb here.
3 House: Forms very rarely ask about your "house", which refers to the structure itself. This term does not make sense here.
3 Area code: An "area code" is the series of numbers present in a telephone number which indicates the country or region in which the phone is located. This does not make sense here.
4 Personal email address: This is Jean's "personal email address". This is the electronic address which he uses to communicate with his friends, family, and for other private matters. Example: "This isn't something I usually do, but let me give you my personal email address".
4 Professional email address: Jean's professional email address is the one he uses for work: jean@delavignecorp.com. The address on the form is much to informal to be a "professional" or "work" address.
4 Telephone: This is not a telephone number: it is an email address.
4 Website: This is not a website: it is an email address.
5 3654: This is the best choice here to answer the question of what Jean's "apartment building door code" is. This is the security code which has to be entered in order to gain access to a building.
5 SECOND FLOOR: The "second floor" describes the level or floor on which an apartment is situated. This is not what Jean should enter here.
5 LEFT: "Left" is the opposite of "right". This is not what Jean should enter here.
5 jean_the_frenchie_1976@woohoo.com: This is Jean's email address. It is not what Jean should enter here.
6 3RD: 3rd' is the ordinal contraction of "third". Notice how the final two letters (third) are used in the abbreviated form, "rd". All ordinal numbers ending with 3 are contracted in this way. For example: 3rd (third), 23rd (twenty-third) and 803rd (eight hundred and third). The only exceptions are numbers with 1 in the tens column (13, 213, 1013) that are terminated by a "th", for example: 113th (one hundred and thirteenth).
6 3ST: This is incorrect. Ordinal abbreviations of numbers ending in 3 are never finish with "st".
6 3TH: This is incorrect. Numbers that end in a 3 are only abbreviated with "th" when they have a 1 in the tens column, like 13th (thirteenth) or 113th (one hundred and thirteenth). This is not the case here.
6 3ND: This is incorrect. Ordinal abbreviations ending in 3 never terminate with "nd".
7 MORNINGS: "Mornings" is the answer which makes most sense here. Jean is saying that it would be convenient for an engineer to visit his apartment one morning in order to set up his internet connection.
7 jean_the_frenchie_1976@woohoo.com: This is Jean's email address. It is not what Jean should enter here.
7 APARTMENT B, 21 SUTRO HEIGHTS AVENUE, SAN FRANCISCO CA 94121: This is Jean's home address. It is not what Jean should enter here.
7 WIFI: "Wifi" refers to wireless internet connections. It does not make sense here.

1 Jean: "Jean" is the appropriate first name to enter here. Sometimes this part of a person's name is referred to as their "Christian name". Example: "The president doesn't like people calling him by his first name".
1 Marron: This is incorrect. This is Jean's "last name" or "surname". This is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
1 Jean Marron: This is incorrect. This is Jean's "full name", not his "first name".
1 Marron, Jean: This is incorrect. We looking for Jean's "first name" (Jean), not a variant of his "full name". Note that Jean's "full name" is usually written as "Jean Marron", not "Marron, Jean".
2 Marron: "Marron" is the appropriate part of Jean's name to enter here. This is his "last name" or "surname".
2 Jean: This is incorrect. This is Jean's "first name" or "Christian name". This is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
2 Frenchie: This is incorrect. "Frenchie" might be Jean's "nickname", but certainly not his "last name" or "surname".
2 My mother's name was Pineau: This is incorrect. "Pineau" may be Jean's mother's "maiden name" but not his last name. A "maiden name" is the surname of a woman before she marries (and takes the surname of her husband).
3 Male: This is correct. In answer to the question "what is your sex?" there are two answers, "male" or "female", and sometimes "neuter" if you speak German, or have been castrated. Jean is a "man" so his sex is "male". The term "male" is often used as a neutral term in statistics to refer to "men".
3 Man: This is incorrect. Jean is a "man" but his sex is "male". "Male" emphasises the physical or sexual characteristics of a man.
3 Medium: This is incorrect. "Medium" would refer to Jean's "size". It is not common practice to ask about the "size" of one's sexual organs on these kind of forms. Being a virile Frenchman, it is not uncommon for Jean to think with an organ other than his brain, although this is not the time or place!
3 Yes please!: Unfortunately, this purpose of this question is not to measure Jean's desire to have sex, but to determine his gender. Being a virile Frenchman, it is not uncommon for Jean to think with an organ other than his brain, although this is not the time or place!
4 Single: This is correct. "Single" describes being "unmarried" or sometimes "without a partner", for example: It was difficult to look after her children because she was a single mother. "Relationship status" is similar to "marital status" although it is less official, both terms look at the condition of being married or unmarried, and if someone has a partner.
4 Happy: This is incorrect. Although Jean is mostly a happy person, his "relationship status" does not describe his state of mind, but whether he has a partner, is single, or married.
4 French: This is incorrect. One's "relationship status" is not equivalent to one's "nationality". Jean's nationality is "French", but his "relationship status" describes if he has a partner or is married.
4 IT support officer: This is incorrect. One's "relationship status" is not equivalent to one's "job status". Jean's job is "IT support officer" ("IT" stands for "information technology"), however this has nothing to do with his "relationship status".
5 Birthday: This is correct. A "birthday" refers to the date of one's birth, and is also synonymous with the term "date of birth". Example: Luna shares the same birthday as Brigitte Bardot.
5 Anniversary: This is incorrect. An "anniversary" is a date which commemorates an event: a wedding, a death, the opening of a store, etc. Since there is no other information given , this date must refer to Jean's "birthday".
5 Born the: This is incorrect. "Born the..." is never used as a term to indicate one's "birthday" or "date of birth".
5 Place of Birth: This is incorrect. Don't confuse "place of birth" with "birthday" (or "date of birth"). Jean's "place of birth" is either a town or a hospital: in his case "Nantes" in France.
6 Height: This is correct. This measurement is Jean's "height" (in metres and centimetres): how "tall" he is, or the distance between his feet and the top of his head.
6 Size: This is incorrect. "Size" generally refers to the physical dimensions of something. It does not accurately describe the distance between the feet and the top of the head. It can describe the dimensions of clothing (ex: I have a European size 44 shoe) or how big something is (ex: the cat is the size of a small lion).
6 High: This is incorrect. This is the incorrect form to use here. As a noun, "high" can be used to describe the highest point, for example: This month saw a record high in sales of Delavigne's perfumes.
6 Tall: This is the incorrect form to use here. "Tall" is most used as an adjective to mean "having a large height", for example: Philip doesn't like to date tall women, because they make him look small.
7 Weight: This is correct. This measurement is Jean's "weight" (in kilos and grammes): how "heavy" he is, or the quantity of his mass.
7 Weigh: This is incorrect. To "weigh" is the verb form, which doesn't make sense in this context. Jean "weighs" 68kg, but his "weight" is 68kg.
7 Weigth: This is incorrect. Note the correct spelling of "weight".
7 Kilo: This is incorrect. It is not normal to refer to someone's "kilo" when talking about how heavy they are.
8 Star sign: This is correct. Jean's "star sign" is Aquarius, as he was born on 30 January. We can also use the terms "astrological sign" or "zodiac sign". "Aquarius" is an Air sign, equivalent to the Tiger in the Chinese zodiac. This makes Jean ideally suited to working with computers and playing brass musical instruments, like the trombone.
8 Favorite drink: This is incorrect. As far as I know, there is no drink called the Aquarius. If there was one, it would be a grapefruit-flavoured sports drink.
8 Hometown: This is incorrect. As far as I know, there is no town called Aquarius. If there was one, it would full of hippies smoking pot, and pretending they were living in the 60s.
8 Favorite sexual position: This is incorrect. As far as I know, there is no sexual position called Aquarius. If there was one, it would certainly feature a lot of foreplay and a blast off to Uranus.
9 I love eating French food!: This is correct. Usually state verbs like "to love" (and "to hate") are not used in progressive verb tenses and are followed by another verb in the gerund (ING) form.
9 I enjoy to eat French food!: This is incorrect. The verb "to enjoy" is never followed by another verb in the full infinitive (with "to") and is only followed by a verb in the gerund (ING) form. Example: I enjoy beating the English at tennis.
9 I'm loving French food!: This is incorrect. While the progressive form is gradually being used in state verbs (like "to love"), it is still considered to be unacceptable in written English. Unfortunately companies like McDonalds make it hard for English teachers to maintain this rule, especially when they introduce advertising slogans like "I'm lovin" it'... urrghh!
9 To enjoy French food!: This is incorrect. When listing interests the gerund can be used, but never the full infinitive at the start of a sentence. Example: -What are your main hobbies? -Playing volleyball with my friends at the gym, eating hotdogs, walking the streets at night...
10 Surfing the internet for girls!: This is the correct answer. When listing interests and activities, the gerund (ING) form of the verb is often used. For example: Eating too many hamburgers was the cause of my health problems.
10 I surfing on the internet for beautiful women!: This is incorrect. To form the present progressive tense, an auxiliary verb is needed. In this case, however, it would be more correct to use the present simple tense (to describe habitual actions) or the gerund form (to describe activities).
10 To surf the internet to see lovely women!: This is incorrect. When describing interests and activities it is uncommon to use the full infinitive form, and the gerund is used more often.
10 Wow! The internet, he is great to see girls!: This is incorrect. Since the "internet" takes a neutral genre in English (as for objects and animals etc), "it" is used as a pronoun rather than "he". Example: I love my cat, it is very friendly.

This is an incorrect statement. Jean says that he has never been to a game of baseball before, and asks Bruno if baseball is the "game with the bulls who are fighting?" This suggests that Jean is not familiar with baseball.
This is an incorrect statement. Bruno says "please don't call me "boss" because it makes him feel "uncomfortable". He asks Jean to call him "Bruno", which is his first name. The 'surname" is the last name or family name.
This is correct. Bruno says that he is "off to watch a baseball game" and wants Jean to "join him". To "be off (to a place)" is to leave or go away. Example: Bob is not here, he said he was off to join the army.
