Traduzione e definizione
(What do you eat for) breakfast?: (cosa mangi a) colazione?
Breakfast è composto dalle parole "break" e "fast". Il termine "breakfast" si riferisce letteralmente a "interrompere" o terminare un "fast" (un periodo in cui non si mangia nulla).
to fast: digiunare, stare a digiuno per un periodo di tempo
to break a fast: rompere il digiuno: mangiare qualcosa dopo un periodo di astinenza dal cibo

None of these terms were used in this conversation.
1 dinner: "Dinner" is traditionally the last meal of the day. In this conversation, Jean uses the verb "to dine" which indicates the act of eating dinner specifically, and sometimes simply the act of eating or taking a meal. The meal itself is called "dinner".
2 breakfast: The term "breakfast" refers to the first meal of the day, traditionally eaten in the morning. Although not as common as the noun "breakfast" on its own, or the expression "to eat breakfast", "to breakfast" is occasionally used as a verb. The etymology of the "breakfast" comes from "to break the fast", an expression which describes ending the period of fasting (willfully abstaining from food).
3 lunch: The term "lunch" refers to the second meal of the day, traditionally eaten at midday. Although not as common as the noun "lunch" on its own, or the expression "to eat lunch", "to lunch" is occasionally used as a verb.

1 fish and chips: "Fish and chips" is the right answer. It's one of Britain's favourite national dishes! "Chips" are potatoes cut into strips and then deep-fried in hot oil. They are called "fries" in the USA. The "fish" in this context is usually cod, which is battered and also deep-fried in hot fat. This quick, tasty food is bought from "chippies"!
1 potato soup: Potato soup rarely involves seafood, thankfully! This is therefore not the right answer here.
1 fish finger sandwich: A fish finger sandwich is food eaten mostly by children, involving some long, thin pieces of breaded fish positioned between two slices of bread. I used to eat this with lots of ketchup. It doesn't involve any potato, so isn't the right answer here!
2 jelly: "Jelly" is the right answer. "Jelly" is a gelatinous dessert often served at children's parties. In the USA, it is referred to as "jello". Jelly is usually fruit-flavoured. Example: "When I was a child, I only ate jelly".
2 ice cream: Ice cream is not "very wobbly". It is not gelatinous enough to be the right answer here.
2 baked apple and custard: A "baked apple" is one which has been cooked in the oven with sugar and spices such as cinnamon. It's very tasty! "Custard" is a pale yellow, vanilla-flavoured sweet sauce. Neither is "very wobbly".
3 full English breakfast: The full English breakfast is quite special! It includes lots of fried meat, eggs, and often tomatoes, mushrooms, or baked beans. Only those with a very strong stomach can eat this in the morning! Example: "When I visited Britain, I ate a full English breakfast every morning. Now I'm very fat".
3 egg salad cream: "Egg salad cream" probably consists of a hard-boiled chicken egg, served with a mayonnaise-like sauce. This is not the right answer here.
3 Bangers and mash: "Bangers" are sausages, and "mash" is mashed potato. This is not the right answer here.

1 hotel: This is the right answer. In his message, Bruno says "I need you to book a hotel room for my trip to Beijing". A "hotel room" is a bedroom in a hotel. Famous hotels include the Hilton and the Ritz!
1 hostel: Oops! A "hostel" is a cheap option, where you often stay in a room with other people you don't know. Hostels are very popular among travelling students, but this isn't what Bruno asks for in his message.
1 bed and breakfast: Oops! A "bed and breakfast" (or "B & B" for short) is a small private establishment where hosts offer bedrooms and a breakfast to guests who pay a small fee. This isn't what Bruno asks for in his message.
2 China: "China" is the right answer here. Beijing is the capital city of China. You might like to know that this huge city used to be called "Peking" in English, but "Beijing" is a more accurate modern transliteration. In his message, Bruno asks Polly to "book a hotel room for (his) trip to Beijing".
2 USA: Sorry, but Beijing is not in the USA. Perhaps you were thinking of Boston!
2 Japan: Sorry, but Beijing is not in Japan. Perhaps you were thinking of Beppu!
2 England: Sorry, but Beijing is not in England. Perhaps you were thinking of Birmingham!
3 1: This is correct. Bruno asks for "a hotel room", meaning that he just needs one bedroom. He is probably travelling alone.
3 2: No, Polly should not book two rooms for Bruno.
3 3: No, Polly should not book three rooms for Bruno.
3 4: No, Polly should not book four rooms for Bruno.
3 5: No, Polly should not book five rooms for Bruno.
4 July: This is the right answer. Bruno says "I'll need it (the hotel room) for three nights: July 3rd, 4th and 5th". He is therefore visiting Beijing in July. July is a great month for holidays!
4 January: No, Bruno does not mention January in his message.
4 February: No, Bruno does not mention February in his message.
4 March: No, Bruno does not mention March in his message.
4 April: No, Bruno does not mention April in his message.
4 May: No, Bruno does not mention May in his message.
4 June: No, Bruno does not mention June in his message.
4 August: No, Bruno does not mention August in his message.
4 September: No, Bruno does not mention September in his message.
4 October: No, Bruno does not mention October in his message.
4 November: No, Bruno does not mention November in his message.
4 December: No, Bruno does not mention December in his message.
5 July: "July" is the right answer. Bruno tells Polly "I'll need it (the hotel room) for three nights: July 3rd, 4th and 5th. I'm coming back to San Francisco on July 6th". This means that he is visiting Beijing in July.
5 January: No, Bruno does not mention January in his message.
5 February: No, Bruno does not mention February in his message.
5 March: No, Bruno does not mention March in his message.
5 April: No, Bruno does not mention April in his message.
5 May: No, Bruno does not mention May in his message.
5 June: No, Bruno does not mention June in his message.
5 August: No, Bruno does not mention August in his message.
5 September: No, Bruno does not mention September in his message.
5 October: No, Bruno does not mention October in his message.
5 November: No, Bruno does not mention November in his message.
5 December: No, Bruno does not mention December in his message.
6 6th: This is the right answer. Bruno says "I'll need it for three nights: July 3rd, 4th and 5th. I'm coming back to San Francisco on July 6th". He is therefore visiting Beijing in July. July is a great month for holidays!
6 6rd: Oops! This isn't how we write "sixth". This "rd" abbreviation is only used for "third": "3rd".
6 6nd: Oops! This isn't how we write "sixth". This "nd" abbreviation is only used for "second": "2rd".
7 4 stars: This is the best choice here. In his answer phone message, Bruno says "it has to be a four-star hotel". A four-star hotel is a top class hotel with quality fixtures and fittings, professional staff, and a good restaurant. Only the best for Bruno Delavigne!
7 3 stars: Sorry, but a three-star hotel isn't good enough for Bruno!
7 2 stars: Sorry, but a two-star hotel isn't good enough for Bruno!
7 1 star: Sorry, but a one-star hotel isn't good enough for Bruno!
7 any: Sorry, but "just any" hotel isn't good enough for Bruno!
8 yes: Polly should select "yes" here, because Bruno says "I want breakfasts included" in his message. "Breakfast" is the first meal of the day, where we eat things such as cereal, toast, and perhaps sausages and pancakes!
8 no: Oops! Bruno says that he DOES want breakfasts, so this isn't the right choice here.

1 order: To "order food" is to request it at a restaurant. This verb is the only appropriate choice in this list.
1 command: The verb "command" isn't used in English to describe the act of requesting food. "Command" is generally reserved for expressing imperative wishes (from a person of high authority), for example: I command you to attack that squadron of Danish Dragoons.
1 demand: Although grammatically correct in this construction, the verb "to demand" isn't used to request food. In English, "to demand" expresses a stronger sense than "to ask" and is used to formally and urgently request something, generally in official context.
2 lunch: "Lunch" is generally the second meal of the day around midday.
2 dinner: "Dinner" is generally the last meal of the day, eaten sometime in the evening.
2 breakfast: "Breakfast" is generally the first meal of the day, eaten in the morning.
3 starter: "A starter" refers to an "appetizer" or "entrée" (in American English): a small, light dish served before the "main course", or principal dish.
3 beginner: As a noun, a "beginner" generally refers to a "novice" or "amateur". For example: Although he is just a beginner, he has shown a real aptitude for the language. The term is not used to describe a meal.
3 main course: The "main course" of a meal is the principal or biggest portion of it. It doesn't make sense for you to start with a "main course"!
3 first dish: This is a very literal description of a course, not used when ordering food at a restaurant!
4 bowl: "Soup" is traditionally eaten from a "bowl", a circular vessel, ideal for holding liquids.
4 plate: "Plates" are flat, and don't provide the depth necessary to contain a significant amount of fluid.
4 glass: "Glasses" do provide the depth necessary to contain a liquid, however "soup" is traditionally eaten from a bowl, whereas "glasses" typically house such liquids as juice, water and wine.
5 have: When ordering food, the verb "to have" is often used in place of the verb "to take". In fact in this construction, using "have" is the only grammatically correct answer!
5 take: "What will you take for dessert?" is very unnatural in English, and shouldn't be said. In this construction, and when ordering food in general, the verb "to have" is often used in place of "to take".
6 the main course: The main course of a meal is the principal or biggest portion of it. It makes sense for you to order a "main course" after the starter. Furthermore, your description of a cheeseburger fits under the category of a "main course"!
6 next: "What will you have for next?" doesn't make any sense, and shouldn't be said in English. A better way to rephrase this question: What will you have next? Note that "next" should never directly follow the preposition "for".
6 the principal plate: This is a very literal description of a course, not used when ordering food at a restaurant!
6 the big dish: This is a very literal description of a course, not used when ordering food at a restaurant!
7 on the side: When ordering food, to specify that something should be served "away from" or "adjacent to" another portion of food, we use the expression "on the side". In this dialogue, you are specifying that the French Fries should be served "on the side" of the plate, away from the cheeseburger. Note that the expression "on the side" can also be used in a different context to describe a secondary activity, for example: I am a doctor, but also a yoga instructor on the side.
7 aside: The term "aside" can express a similar meaning as the expression "on the side", however not in the context of ordering a meal. Although "aside" can describe a position "adjacent to" or "next to" an object, it shouldn't be used in this context.
7 sideways: The term "sideways" (both adjective and adverb) describes a position "at an angle" or "towards one side". The term cannot describe the placement of a portion of food on a plate.
7 outside: The term "outside" describes a position "towards the exterior" or "on the exterior" (of a location). It cannot be used to describe the placement of a portion of food on a plate in this context.
8 dessert: "Dessert" describes the last course of a meal, which generally includes sweet items such as fruit, chocolate, cake, cookies, etc. Note that in British English, dessert is often called "pudding". In the wise words of an obese and sardonic feline named Garfield, "life is short, eat dessert first".
8 desert: "Desert" with one "s" describes a hot, arid landscape without much precipitation, often full of sand and cacti. The Sahara, Mojave, Gobi and the Sonora are all famous deserts. There is an idiom I was once taught to remember which "desert" is which: You always want two "desserts" in the "desert", meaning that "dessert" (the food) takes two "esses"!
8 Sugar Plum Fairies: Good guess, but no. Sugar Plum Fairies are sprite-like creatures featured in Tchaikovsky's Nutcracker. There is also an obscure reference to Sugar Plum Fairies in the Beatles melancholy classic "A Day in the Life".
9 on a diet: "To be on a diet" describes a regimen designed to lose weight. The preposition "on" is used to form this expression.
9 in a diet: The preposition "on" is used to form this expression, not "in"!
9 doing a diet: This construction isn't formed with the verb "to do", but with the verb "to be"!
9 making a diet: This construction isn't formed with the verb "to make", but with the verb "to be"!
