Exercice 1
Choose the statement from the list which best summarizes Kevin's email.
Choose the statement from the list which best summarizes Kevin's email.
This is not a good choice. The bike Kevin is writing about does not belong to him. It is a bike he has found outside the office building. Kevin never suggests that he is selling his bike. The bike he is referring to is an old abandoned bike on the street.
Kevin is not writing about "his own bike". The bike he is referring to is one that he has found on the street. He clearly states, "I noticed an old bicycle just outside the main entrance". He never states that the bike belongs to him.
This is not a good choice. Kevin is not writing about a bike he wants to buy. He does write about the cost of a new bicycle, but he is only comparing this cost with the price of replacement parts for the bicycle he wants to take from outside the building.
This is correct. Kevin specifically states that "it's not locked up" which means that the bike is not attached to anything with a lock. This shares a similar meaning with "unsecured".

1 lick: This is correct. "To lick" is to use your tongue to taste (or to make something wet so that it sticks)! Example: I like licking (chocolate) ice cream!

1 leak: This isn't the best choice here. A "leak" is a hole (or crack) through which liquid (or gas), enters or escapes. Example: I think the boat has a leak - we're sinking! Note, "leak" is also used as a verb. Example: Each time it rains, the roof leaks!
2 lock: This is correct. "To lock (a door)" is to secure it with a key. A "lock" is a device used for securing things, usually doors, safes, boxes and windows.
