Fill in the blanks below with terms used in the broadcast.

This adjective means 'encircled' or 'encompassed'.
'You are surrounded 1 by the police on all sides - there's no escape!'

This verb means to 'imagine', 'suppose', or 'conjecture' about something.
'You'll never guess 2 what I'm planning to do... You'll never imagine what it is!'

This noun describes a 'hint', 'suggestion', or 'indication'.

This adjective describes something which is 'extraordinary', 'improbable', or 'incredible'.
'The story that Pinocchio told me was totally unbelievable 4. There's no way that a talking cricket exists!'
1 surrounded: 'Surrounded' is the right answer. To be 'surrounded' is to be 'encircled'. In this broadcast, João says 'I am surrounded by a thousand samba dancers in sparkling costumes', meaning that a thousand dancers are all around him. In this particular exercise, we can imagine that a criminal has been 'trapped' or 'surrounded' by a group of policemen.
2 guess: 'Guess' is the correct answer. The verb 'to guess' shares a similar meaning with the terms 'to imagine', 'to suppose', or 'to conjecture'. For example, 'I can't possibly guess how old your dog is'. This term is often used idiomatically. In this broadcast, João tells Moira 'I want you to guess where I am', he is asking her to imagine or make a suggestion as to his location.
3 clues: 'Clues' is the correct answer. A 'clue' is an 'idea', a 'hint', or a 'suggestion'. When a detective looks for a 'clue', he is looking for evidence or an indication to help him in his investigation. The term 'clue' is often used idiomatically, such as in the expression 'I have no clue', meaning 'I have no idea' or 'I really don't know'. In this broadcast, João offers to give Moira 'a clue' as to his location.
4 unbelievable: 'Unbelievable' is correct. An 'unbelievable (story)' is one which is 'difficult to believe', 'improbable', or 'incredible'. It can also be used as a superlative term to say that something or someone was 'fantastic' or 'great', which is what João is expressing when he says that the Carnival atmosphere is 'unbelievable'.
Esercizio 2
Choose the most appropriate headline for the article you just read.

(A "headline" is the title of an article summarizing its main subject)
Choose the most appropriate headline for the article you just read.

(A "headline" is the title of an article summarizing its main subject)
This is the most appropriate headline for this article. A "clue" describes helpful information, or information which provides insight or knowledge to a puzzle or problem. If police are "clueless", then they have no idea or indications about how or why something happened. This article describes a fight or altercation in which one person was struck or hit with a bottle. A "beating" describes a physical assault.
This headline isn't appropriate. The article states that the police have not "solved" (resolved or figured out) what happened at the bar in San Francisco. A "mystery" describes a puzzle, an enigma, or something "unknown". To write that police have "solved the mystery", or "discovered what happened" wouldn't be accurate.
This headline isn't appropriate. Although this information is true according to the article, it doesn't summarize the main subject of the article. This information is a minor detail within the bigger story of a crime.
This headline isn't appropriate. This story is actually about a dispute or argument which came about because of a television program, so to write that bar patrons "gathered" (assembled or came together) to watch television "peacefully" (without conflict or violence) isn't accurate.

Crime Time!

Choose the best definitions for the terms used in this article.

A man was assaulted --> A man was attacked 1.
The weapons in the crime--> The arms 2 in the crime.
Police are still looking for clues --> Police are still looking for helpful information 3.
Witnesses reported seeing an altercation --> Observers 4 reported seeing an altercation.
1 attacked: An "assault" and an "attack" are synonymous in this context. Both terms describe physical confrontations in which one person is aggressed or hit by another. This article describes the "assault" of one bar patron by another. The term can be used as a verb ("She assaulted me") or a noun ("I accused him of assault").
1 robbed : To "rob" describes the act of "stealing" money and valuables. For example: I was robbed by two men. They took my diamond necklace and my purse. "Robbery" is not the same as an assault, which describes a physical attack.
1 threatened: To "threaten (someone)" is to "menace" them, or "to warn them of future danger". For example, "the company threatened to fire the employee if he was caught stealing again". "To threaten" and "to assault" are two different actions.
2 arms: An "arm" describes a weapon such as a gun, knife, sword etc, as does a "weapon". Note that an "arm" is also the part of the body: an appendage which connects the "hand" to the "shoulder".
2 motives: In the context of crime, a "motive" describes a reason or motivation to commit a crime. For example, the "motive" of the murder was revenge. The term is not synonymous with "a weapon".
2 suspects: In the context of crime and law enforcement, a "suspect" describes a person believed or though to have committed a crime. For example: The suspect in this case has many reasons to attack his boss. The term is unrelated to a "weapon".
3 helpful information: This is correct. A "clue" describes helpful information, or information which provides insight or knowledge to a puzzle or problem. For example: I am looking for clues; I have no idea where this money came from. Note that "clue" and "lead" are synonymous in this article.
3 the suspect: In the context of crime and law enforcement, a "suspect" describes a person believed or though to have committed a crime. For example: The suspect in this case has many reasons to attack his boss. The term is unrelated to a "clue".
3 the victim: A "victim" describes the person to whom a crime or action has been committed, as opposed to an "assailant", "perpetrator" or "suspect". The term is not synonymous with "a weapon".
4 Observers: In the context of crime and law enforcement, a "witness" describes a person who observed or saw a crime being committed. "Witnesses" are essential for police investigations and trials as they can prove or disprove the accusations against someone. In this article, there were no "witnesses" of the crime which took place in the bar.
4 Civilians: A "civilian" describes a regular person in a community (city, state or country), generally one who is unaffiliated with law enforcement or the military. In other words, a civilian is NOT affiliated with the police or military.
4 Patrons: A "patron" describes a customer or client, generally one in a bar or restaurant. Example: The bar patrons all knew the bartender's name.

Fill in the blanks with words used in the article. Use the hints to help you.

This noun describes "promising, helpful or useful information" which can be used to solve a mystery. "The detectives have a [not done] lead 1 on a suspect in the murder case."

This adjective describes something which is popular or fashionable. "Right now, smart phones and Epods are very trendy 2."
1 lead: A "lead (in a police case)" describes promising information which might "lead" to the resolution of the case. For example: We have a good lead in the case: a witness saw the suspect leaving the bar with blood on his hands. "Lead" rhymes with "feed" and "seed" in this context.
2 trendy: The term "trendy" means "fashionable" or "popular". The article describes the San Francisco neighborhood of North Beach as "trendy" or "popular".
Esercizio 5
"The catch is that..."

This could also be expressed as: "The is that..."
"The catch is that..."

This could also be expressed as: "The problem is that..."
problem: "Problem" is the best choice here. In this context, a "catch" is a "hindrance", "difficulty", or "bad side" to something. Here's another example: "This offer looks too good to be true! What's the catch?". You might also like to know that "to catch" a ball is the opposite of "to throw" it.
reason: A "reason" is a motive or a cause. This doesn't mean the same thing as "a catch".
clue: A "clue" is a "hint" or "a piece of information which helps you to find an answer". This doesn't mean the same thing as "a catch".
truth: The "truth" is the opposite of "a lie" or "a fiction". This doesn't mean the same thing as "a catch".
