1 gift voucher: This is correct. A "gift voucher" is a certificate that can be used instead of money to purchase items in a shop. Example: "When you don't know what to give someone for their birthday, gift vouchers are an easy option."
2 above: This is correct. The preposition "above" is used for spatial relations where one thing is regarded as overhead another. Example: "My grandfather has hung a lucky horse shoe above the door to his cabin".
Esercizio 2
For the past three days, Jean has been Susie's desk.
For the past three days, Jean has been below Susie's desk.
below: Susie tells Bob that she found Jean "underneath her desk". "Underneath" shares a similar meaning with "below" in this context: both terms indicate a space close in proximity to the surface, "beneath" Susie's desk. Another way to say that Jean was hiding "underneath the desk" is to say that he was hiding "below the desk".
above: "Above" is not synonymous with "underneath". It actually expresses the opposite meaning. "Above" describes an position which is superior in elevation to another.
behind: "Behind" is not synonymous with "underneath". The term "behind" describes the position of one object, person etc. which is located "in back of" another.
next to: "Next to" is not synonymous with "underneath". If one person stands "next to" another, they are standing adjacent to or at the side of the other.

In this conversation, Dr. Loblaw confesses that his father "beat him" regularly.
3 beat: The verb "to beat" is irregular and is conjugated as "beat" in the simple past tense. To beat: beat/beat/beaten.
