Esercizio 1
Mick writes that he "will be attending the quarterly managers meeting".
What does this mean?
What does this mean?
Mick writes that he "will be attending the quarterly managers meeting".
What does this mean?
What does this mean?
To look forward (to an event) is to anticipate it with pleasure. For example: I look forward to my holidays this summer. This isn't what Mick is expressing here.
Mick writes that he "will be attending" the meeting, which means that he will "be present at" it. Here, Mick uses the future continuous tense of the verb "to attend".
Mick's statement actually expresses the opposite thought: that he is sure that he will be present at the meeting.
The purpose of Mick's email is actually a confirmation that he will be present at the quarterly managers meeting. He isn't requesting confirmation for the meeting.

1 cannot attend: The expression "I won't be able to make it to the meeting" expresses that someone cannot attend or assist a meeting. The expression is synonymous with the phrase "I won't be able to attend the meeting".
1 is canceling: To "cancel" a meeting means to "annul" or "call off" a meeting. Bob is not canceling the meeting, he is trying to temporarily postpone the meeting because he cannot "make it" or "attend" the original time set for the meeting.
1 will arrive late to: This is not a good choice. If Bob is unable "to make it to a meeting", it doesn't mean that he will arrive late to the meeting, but rather that he cannot attend or be present at the meeting.
2 buy: This is correct. In this context, to "pick up" a bottle means "to buy" one. Example: On your way home, could you pick up a bottle of wine?
2 lift: To "lift" an object is to physically "raise" or elevate it. In another context, "to pick up" can mean to physically lift an object, however in Bob's email, this is not the case.
2 open: Bob is "buying" a bottle of whisky for Bruno, not "opening" a bottle of whiskey. The phrasal verb to "pick up" does not indicate that one will "open" an object.
3 to compensate for his absence: The idiom "to make up for (something)" means "to pay back" or "to compensate" for it. Example: "I'm sorry I hit your cat, what can I do to make up for it?" Note that the compensation is not necessarily financial.
3 to express his respect: The idiom "to make up for (something)" is not a gesture of respect, but rather a gesture to "compensate" for something.
3 to make Bruno forget about it: The idiom "to make up for (something)" is not an attempt to make someone forget about something, but rather a gesture to "compensate" for something.
3 that he brewed himself: Bob's expression is not an indication that he himself "brewed" the whiskey himself.
4 delay: The verb "to postpone" means to "delay" or to "put off" something, such as a meeting, to a later time. Example: We need to postpone the meeting until next week because Bob won't be there.
4 cancel: To "cancel a meeting" means to "annul" or to "call it off" entirely. Bob does not want to cancel the meeting, just to "postpone" it to a later date.
4 skip: To "skip" a meeting means to fail to attend a meeting. It is true that Bob will not be able to attend the meeting, however this is not what Bob "wants", nor does it express the meaning of the term "postpone".
5 transport: This is the best choice. Bob writes, "I have an appointment to take my infant son to the pediatrician at 2:30". "To take someone somewhere" means "to transport" them, usually by car.
5 pick up: To "pick someone up" from the doctor's office means to "retrieve" them, or bring them back home from the doctor's office. Example: I will pick you up after school. This is a bit different in meaning than the verb "to take" in this context.
5 babysit: Although Bob is looking for a babysitter, when he writes that he "can't find anyone to take him", he is referring "to transporting" or "bringing" his son to the doctor's office, not that he is looking for someone to babysit him.
Esercizio 3
True or False? Icarus, Delavigne's accountant, won't attend the meal with Bruno and Sam Shadetree.
True or False? Icarus, Delavigne's accountant, won't attend the meal with Bruno and Sam Shadetree.
Sam asks Bruno if Icarus will be "coming along", which is another way to ask if he will attend, or be present at the meeting. Icarus will not attend the meeting because he is taking care of his mother, who recently had colon surgery.
This statement is not false.
Esercizio 4
"I'm happy to see such a great turnout for this event".
Another way to say this is:
Another way to say this is:
"I'm happy to see such a great turnout for this event".
Another way to say this is:
Another way to say this is:
The term "turnout" does not refer to the time at which people arrive at an event, but rather to the number of people who are attending the event.
The term "turnout" does not refer to the quality of "facilities", but rather to the number of people who are attending the event.
The term "turnout" does not refer to the "organization" of an event, but rather to the number of people who are attending the event.
This is correct. The "turnout" for an event is the number of people who attend or come to the event. "A good turnout" is an expression used to indicate that many people have come or "showed up" to an event.

It's time to construct some sentences! Below are the beginnings for three different business letters. Select the most appropriate expression to fill each blank.
"Following 1 our recent interview, I am pleased to tell you 2 that your application has been accepted 3. Congratulations and welcome to the team!"
"Given 4 the current ban on air travel, it is my unfortunate task to inform you 5 that I will not be able to attend our scheduled meeting 6. Let's arrange a later date."
"As part of 7 our customer information project, you may be interested to know 8 that our company is actively reducing our carbon footprint. 9. We are doing our bit to help the environment."
"Following 1 our recent interview, I am pleased to tell you 2 that your application has been accepted 3. Congratulations and welcome to the team!"
"Given 4 the current ban on air travel, it is my unfortunate task to inform you 5 that I will not be able to attend our scheduled meeting 6. Let's arrange a later date."
"As part of 7 our customer information project, you may be interested to know 8 that our company is actively reducing our carbon footprint. 9. We are doing our bit to help the environment."
1 Following: "Following" is the best choice here. This term is often used to begin formal letters, and generally refers to a past event such as a meeting or interview. Example: "Following changes to your bank account, you will now be able to withdraw cash when travelling abroad".
1 As part of: The expression "as part of" does not make sense in this context.
2 I am pleased to tell you: "I am pleased to tell you" makes the most sense here. We use this expression when we have some pleasant or happy news to give to our correspondent. Example: "I am pleased to tell you that your offer of £1.5m for the house has been accepted".
2 it is my unfortunate task to inform you: This construction does not make sense here, since the following sentence is congratulatory, and this expression is only used to announce bad news.
3 your application has been accepted: This is the best choice here. Because the writer goes on to "congratulate" the other correspondent, we can deduce that the application has been accepted and successful. The recipient of this letter is being offered a job.
3 your profile does not match what we are looking for: This does not make sense here, since the writer goes on to congratulate the recipient. Their application has not been rejected.
4 Given: "Given" is the best choice here. This term shares a similar meaning with "due to" or "considering" and is used to introduce a cause and effect construction. Example: "Given that she is 8 months pregnant, Julie will not be able to attend the football match".
4 In reply to: It does not make sense to use this construction here: we cannot "reply to a situation" in this context.
5 it is my unfortunate task to inform you: This is the best choice here. We use this construction as an introduction when we need to announce some bad news to our correspondent. Example: "It is my unfortunate task to inform you that your husband has been lost at sea".
5 I am pleased to inform you that: This expression is used to introduce positive or happy news, and does not make sense in this context.
6 I will not be able to attend our scheduled meeting: This is the best choice here, as the writer is explaining that they cannot be present at the arranged meeting. This expression is often used in a business context when one has to cancel or postpone a meeting.
6 your application has been successful: It does not make sense to use this construction here, since there is no application involved in this sentence.
7 As part of: This is the best choice here. The writer is explaining that it is the "customer information project" which is leading them to give out this information. Another example of this expression in use: "As part of ongoing reforms, it is now illegal to remove dogs" tails in Britain'.
7 In spite of: The term "in spite of" shares a similar meaning with "despite" or "notwithstanding". It is used to introduce contrast in a sentence, and does not make sense here.
8 you may be interested to know: This is the best choice here. This expression is used when giving someone information which they might find important or relevant. Example: "You may be interested to know that I'm going on holiday to Cornwall this summer".
8 it is none of your business: This statement is very informal and impolite and has no place in a business letter.
9 our company is actively reducing our carbon footprint.: This is the best choice to complete this sentence. The expression "carbon footprint" describes the damage done to the environment by a person or company. This can be calculated by looking at their transport habits, production methods, consumption levels, etc.
9 our carbon emissions have increased this year.: This is incorrect. This is no way of "helping the environment".
