Esercizio 1
Philip mentions an ostrich, which is a type of large bird native to Africa.
Let's learn more about birds, shall we?

1 wings: "A wing" is the moveable appendage which most birds use for flying. We also use the term to refer to the "wings" of airplanes and other aircraft, or even to refer to extensions or areas within a building (the West wing of the White House for example). The ostrich has a pair of wings which are mostly for show in mating rituals and to frighten predators. They are vestigial limbs and don't grant the birds the gift of flight. What a shame! To learn more about the ostrich, visit your local aviary or zoo or consult an ornithologist.
2 beak: A "beak" is the mouth-like part of a bird's face. The beak is used for eating, killing prey, feeding young, etc. The "beak" can also be used to refer to a human nose, especially when the nose is long or shaped like a beak. In this conversation, Philip believes he sees a bird in one of Donna's inkblot cards, but then says that it is actually a woman with a sharp nose (which reminded him of a bird's beak).
3 feathers: "Feathers" make up the plumage of a bird. They are epidermal growths which emerge from the bird's body. Feathers are the distinguishing feature of birds and set them apart from all other classes of animal. Although not all birds can fly, the hollow structure of feathers permits some birds to stay in the air while flapping their wings.

1 wings: A "wing" is the moveable appendage which most birds use for flying. Airplanes also have "wings" although these shouldn't really move. The term even refers to extensions or areas within a building (the West Wing of the White House for example).
2 feathers: "Feathers" make up the plumage of a bird. Feathers are the distinguishing feature of birds and set them apart from all other classes of animal. Although not all birds can fly, the hollow structure of feathers permits some birds to stay in the air while flapping their wings. Feathers also help to keep off water from the bird's body (they are waterproof). In the audio, Jean says that "we take Alouette and remove her feathers one by one."
3 beaks: A "beak" is the mouth-like part of a bird's face. The beak is used for eating, killing prey, feeding young, etc. The "beak" can also be used to refer to a human nose, especially when the nose is long or shaped like a beak. In this audio, Jean says that his song describes removing the bird's beak.
4 nests: A "nest" is literally a mix of twigs (small pieces of wood), grass or leaves and is used by birds to lay, and warm eggs until they hatch. Young birds will stay in the nest until they are strong enough to fly and feed themselves.

1 dark: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "long dark hair". A "dark" colour is one which is closer to black than white. "Dark" hair is usually black or brown. Blonde or white hair is "light" hair.
2 hair: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "long dark hair". "Hair" is what most people have on their head and body. Monkeys and other mammals also have a lot of hair.
3 tell: This is the correct term. Brian sings "I want to tell you all my secrets". To "tell (someone something)" is to inform them of something. Note that the verb "to tell" is not followed by the preposition "to".
4 share: This is the correct term. Brian sings about some secrets "I just can't share". In this context, the verb "to share" means "to relate" or "to communicate", for example: I'd like to share this idea with you.
5 earth: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "an angel who came to earth". The "earth" is synonymous with the world or the planet (we live on). An "angel who came to earth" is one who has come from heaven to the world.
6 heaven: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "heaven". "Heaven" is a place of happiness, peace and bliss. In Christianity, "Heaven" is the home of God and the angels.
7 beak: This is the correct term. Brian sings about "an eagle's beak". A "beak" is the mouth-like part of a bird's face. The beak is used for eating, killing prey, feeding young, etc. The "beak" can also be used to refer to a human nose, especially when the nose is long or shaped like a beak.
8 although: This is the correct term. "Although" shares the same meaning as "even though", "regardless of (the fact that)" or "in spite of (the fact that)", and is usually found at the beginning of clauses. "Although" is used to make a link between two things, and often introduces a contrasting idea or expresses a possible doubt. Example: Although he looked sad, he still smiled and played with the children.
