Exercice 1
Susie talks about the European "borders expanding at a rapid rate".
This means that the of Europe is/are at .
This means that the of Europe is/are at .
Susie talks about the European "borders expanding at a rapid rate".
This means that the perimeters 1 of Europe is/are growing 2 at a fast pace 3.
This means that the perimeters 1 of Europe is/are growing 2 at a fast pace 3.
1 perimeters: A "border" is the line or boundary which separates two or more countries (in this case). When Susie says "European borders are expanding", she means that the continent of Europe is growing by incorporating more countries into the union.
1 power: A "border" does not share a similar meaning with "power", which refers to the military or political strength of a country in this context.
1 influence: A "border" does not share a similar meaning with "influence".
2 growing: "To expand" means "to grow bigger" (or simply to get bigger). We can speak of something physically expanding, (such as the universe growing bigger and bigger) or something figuratively expanding (such as the influence of the government). In this case, when Susie speaks of the European borders expanding she means that the European boundaries are "extending" or growing bigger.
2 shrinking: "To shrink" actually expresses the opposite meaning of "to expand". Clothes often "shrink" in the laundry if they are washed improperly.
2 rising: A border cannot "rise" or "fall", however it can "grow, shrink or expand". Although in a different context the verb "to rise" may share a similar sense of "growth" or "expansion", in English, a "border" cannot "rise". To rise means to ascend or elevate.
2 falling: A border cannot "rise" or "fall", however it can "grow, shrink or expand". "To fall" is to descend or drop.
3 a fast pace: The expression "at a rapid rate" indicates that a process is occurring "quickly". Susie is saying the frontiers of the European Union are growing bigger "quickly". A "rate" is the measure of this expansion (in this context). The term "pace" refers to the speed at which an action occurs. For example: At his current pace, John will finish the marathon in 3 hours.
3 an exponential rhythm: The expression "at a rapid rate" does not express the same idea as "exponential" growth. In English, the term "rhythm" is not frequently used to refer to the speed or rate that borders expand (for example).
3 long last: The expression "at a rapid rate" simply means "quickly" and not "at last" or at "long last". The phrase "at last" is synonymous with the term "finally".
3 a surprising speed: Although "a rate" can in fact be a rhythm, pace or speed, it is not accurate to say that the phrase "at a rapid rate" shares a similar meaning with "a surprising speed". The term "rapid" indicates a fast or quick action, and not a surprising one.

1 fast-paced: This is the correct choice. A "fast-paced" job is a job where things happen quickly. In this text, the narrator says he had to "work very quickly". In Brian's cover letter, he writes that he is looking for a "fast-paced" job.
2 array: This is the correct choice. An "array" refers to a "variety" of something. In this text, the narrator had to perform a wide variety of tasks, "from making posters to cleaning the tomatoes off the stage every morning". Other examples: "an array of choices", "an array of chocolates".
3 multi-tasking: This is the correct choice. "Multi-tasking" refers to the ability to work on several tasks at once. In this text, the narrator says he "had to do all these things all at once", or complete multiple tasks at the same time. In this exercise, the narrator says that his tasks included making posters and cleaning the tomatoes off the stage every morning. In his cover letter, Brian writes that he is looking for a job in a "multi-tasking" environment.
4 meeting deadlines: This is the correct choice. "To meet a deadline" is to complete a task in a determined amount of time. For example, "I met the April deadline for paying my taxes". In this exercise, the narrator says he had difficulty getting things done on time and "meeting deadlines". In his cover letter, Brian writes that he has a facility for "meeting deadlines".
5 reference: This is the correct choice. A "reference" in this context refers a former employer or contact who can recommend a person as a candidate for a new job. The narrator says he is using his former boss at the comedy club as a reference when he applies to new jobs.
6 application: This is the correct choice. A job "application" refers to a request for employment, usually submitted in paper format. It usually includes a CV, a cover letter, and a list of references. In English, "to submit an application" is a common expression.
Exercice 3
Enriqué expresses many opinions during his debate with Brent. What are they? Select all of the statements that apply.
Enriqué expresses many opinions during his debate with Brent. What are they? Select all of the statements that apply.
This is correct. Enriqué says "Your television programs are interrupted by hundreds of commercials telling you what to buy and what to think". A "commercial" is an advertisement (or "ad") for television or radio (often to promote products and services). The periods when "commercials" are shown are often called "breaks", as they are "interruptions".
This is correct. Enriqué says "Americans are immersed in a culture of instant gratification and short attention spans". To have a "short attention span" is to have a very small capacity to concentrate, or the ability to concentrate only for short periods of time. To say that America is "immersed in a culture of instant gratification" is to say that Americans are used to immediate satisfaction of their desires.
This is incorrect. Enriqué says "it's no surprise that you can't concentrate on anything longer than a beer commercial". This does not mean that Enriqué thinks that Americans drink too much beer.
This is correct. Enriqué says "Americans are used to high-scoring, fast-paced sports like basketball and American football." If you are accustomed to (football), you are used to (football) or habituated to (football). "Pace" is synonymous with "tempo", so a "fast-paced (sport)" is a sport that is played rapidly.
