'Hey, Philip, come here. I want to tell you a story about 1 my trip to 2 China,' said Kevin. 'Hold on 3 a minute, let me finish my lunch first 4,' answered Philip.

1 about: We can talk about something, but we talk to someone. 'About' is the best choice here. Example: I want to talk to you about my mother.
2 to: Kevin is telling Philip about his trip to China. 'To' is the best choice because a 'trip' carries the idea of movement. When we speak about movement, we always talk about someone or something going from one place to another. In this case 'to' indicates the destination of Kevin's trip.
3 on: 'On' is the best choice here. "Hold on" is a common expression which means 'please wait' or 'wait a minute'. It is often used when speaking on the phone. Example: Please hold on while I grab a pencil.
4 first: 'First' is the correct choice. Philip says 'let me finish my lunch first', meaning that he wants to finish his lunch 'before' Kevin tells him the story of his trip to Asia.
5 before: 'Before' is the correct answer. It tells us that time has passed before Philip enters Kevin's office. Example: We were talking about you before you arrived.
6 finally: 'Finally' means 'at last' or 'lastly'. It is the best choice here. Example: I've finally finished reading War and Peace.
7 as: 'As you may know' is an expression which introduces a fact or statement which is presumably known by one person or a group of people. Example: As you will know, your mother and I have decided to adopt a guinea pig.
8 to: Kevin is telling Philip that he went 'to' China. 'To' is the best choice because the verb 'to go' carries the idea of movement, and the preposition 'to' indicates the object or destination of this movement. Example: I'm going to London next week.
9 with: 'With' groups together objects, people and ideas. It is the best choice here to tell us 'whom' Kevin met (Mei-Tsing Lee). Example: I had a date with a guy I met online.
10 on: "On the day" is the correct choice. We use this type of expression to give specific information about a date. Example: On August first, on Monday morning, etc.
11 on: 'To get on the bus' is to board a bus. When using prepositions with modes of transportation, we often run into problems. Usually, when we are speaking about public transportation (bus, metro, airplane, etc.) we use the preposition on. But if we are talking about a car, we use in (get in the car).
12 in: Kevin tells Philip that he was in North Korea, which means that he was inside the country or within the country's borders. Example: I was in Puerto Rico when the hurricane hit.
13 all: 'Is that all?' is a question which asks if someone is finished (speaking, shopping, etc.). Example: Is that all the cake you have left?
Esercizio 2
Choose the expression which could best begin this email (just before the phrase "Bruno is a very busy man"):
Choose the expression which could best begin this email (just before the phrase "Bruno is a very busy man"):
Because both Polly and Kevin work for the Delavigne Corporation, it doesn't make sense to write "on behalf of..." in this email.
This is a good way to start a fairy tale, but not a professional email.
"As a result of company policy" suggests that the email will be related to company rules and regulations. In this email, Polly is simply explaining to Kevin that Bruno is busy.
"As you may already be aware" is an expression which suggests that one person already has knowledge of a given subject. To be "aware (of the issue)" means to "have knowledge" or "be informed" of the issue, for example: I am aware of the problem and I will deal with it soon.
Esercizio 3
Polly: Mr. Oléré, what was it to live in the jungle?
Horatio: Well Señorita Polly, in the jungle I had total freedom. I felt a fish in the ocean or a monkey in a tree. It was very different than this laboratory and these offices.
Polly: Mr. Oléré, you may be aware, the Delavigne Corporation is not the jungle.
Horatio: Yes Señorita Polly, but the Amazon will always be in my heart and in my perfumes!
Horatio: Well Señorita Polly, in the jungle I had total freedom. I felt a fish in the ocean or a monkey in a tree. It was very different than this laboratory and these offices.
Polly: Mr. Oléré, you may be aware, the Delavigne Corporation is not the jungle.
Horatio: Yes Señorita Polly, but the Amazon will always be in my heart and in my perfumes!
Polly: Mr. Oléré, what was it like 1 to live in the jungle?
Horatio: Well Señorita Polly, in the jungle I had total freedom. I felt like 2 a fish in the ocean or a monkey in a tree. It was very different than this laboratory and these offices.
Polly: Mr. Oléré, as 3 you may be aware, the Delavigne Corporation is not the jungle.
Horatio: Yes Señorita Polly, but the Amazon will always be in my heart and in my perfumes!

Horatio: Yes Señorita Polly, but the Amazon will always be in my heart and in my perfumes!
1 like: 'Like' is the best choice here. 'What was it like?' is the proper form of the question. We use this construction when we are asking for an opinion or a description of someone/something, for example: What was your hotel like? -Fabulous.
1 as: We cannot use 'as' here because it is grammatically incorrect to ask 'What was it as?'.
1 lick: 'To lick' is a verb which means to taste with your tongue ('I like licking ice cream'). It has no place in this sentence, however.
2 like: 'I felt like' is the best choice to express Horatio's metaphor. As a preposition, 'like' is often preceded by verbs like 'feel/taste/sound/look/smell', for example: I don't feel like going out tonight, I'm too tired.
2 as: 'As' doesn't fit here because 'felt as' is not the best way to complete the metaphor. We could say 'I feel as a fish feels', but we must use the verb twice to make the sentence grammatically correct.
3 as: 'As' is the correct choice here. In reports/explanations/emails etc, 'as' often introduces clauses which point forward or back, for example: As you already know, I am leaving for Spain next Tuesday...
3 like: Although 'like' is grammatically correct here, the proper expression requires 'as'. 'Like' is only used in this type of construction before the verb 'to say', for example: Like I said yesterday, I am not interested in your offer (or 'As I said yesterday...').
