1 letter of rejection: This is a correct choice. This common formula is used to explain that another applicant, or candidate, was offered the job. This is a polite way to say "sorry, you didn't get the job."
1 letter of invitation: This is an incorrect choice. A letter of invitation asks someone to come to an event. The formula used here mentions a past meeting; it does not invite the letter's recipient to any meeting or event in the future.
1 letter of application: This is an incorrect choice. A letter of application is a demand for employment or acceptance into a school or program. The formula used here indicates that the person writing the letter and the person receiving it have already met ("thank you for meeting with us"). Therefore, we know that the person receiving the letter has already applied to the job being discussed in this letter (and has had an interview). The person writing the letter represents the employer, and the employer is not applying for a job!
1 letter of condolence: This is an incorrect choice. A letter of condolence expresses sympathy for the recent death of someone. Here, there is no indication that anyone has died!
2 letter of invitation: This is a correct choice. A letter of invitation asks someone to come to, or "attend", an event. In this formula, while the invitation is not yet explicitly made, we are told that an event will take place. It is understood that this sort of formula will be followed by a sentence such as, "We would be very happy if you could attend this event." Bruno has written a letter of invitation the shareholders of Delavigne.
2 letter of rejection: This is an incorrect choice. A letter of rejection expresses refusal of a person's request (usually, a person asking for employment or acceptance into a school or program). Here, there is no indication that any refusal is being given. In fact, "it is my great pleasure" introduces positive information.
2 letter of application: This is an incorrect choice. A letter of application is a letter asking for employment or acceptance into a school or program. In this formula, there is no indication of any sort of application. Here, the letter mentions a gallery opening, which is an event. (You can't "apply to" an event!)
2 letter of condolence: This is an incorrect choice. Here, there is no indication that anyone has died!
3 letter of application: This is a correct choice. A letter of application is a letter asking for employment or acceptance into a school or program. The person using this formula will usually follow it by explicitly declaring his candidacy. For example, he could then write "I believe my skills and experience are compatible with the position you are looking to fill."
3 letter of rejection: This is an incorrect choice. A letter of rejection expresses refusal of a person's request (usually, a person asking for employment or acceptance into a school or program). Here, there is no indication that any refusal is being given. On the contrary, the person writing the letter is writing "in response" to something (here, he is referring to an advertisement for employment).
3 letter of invitation: This is an incorrect choice. A letter of invitation asks someone to come to, or "attend", an event. There is no "event" mentioned in this formula.
3 letter of condolence: This is an incorrect choice. A letter of condolence expresses sympathy for the recent death of someone. Here, there is no indication that anyone has died!
4 letter of condolence: This is a correct choice. A letter of condolence expresses sympathy towards a person who has had someone important to them die recently. Here, the writer expresses sympathy towards someone whose cat has "passed away", which is a more polite or tactful way to say that the cat "died".
4 letter of rejection: This is an incorrect choice. A letter of rejection expresses refusal of a person's request (usually, rejecting a person asking for employment or acceptance into a school or program). Here, there is no indication that any refusal is being given.
4 letter of invitation: This is an incorrect choice. A letter of invitation asks someone to come to, or "attend", an event. There is no "event" mentioned in this formula.
4 letter of application: This is an incorrect choice. A letter of application is a letter asking for employment or acceptance into a school or program. In this formula, there is no reference to any sort of application.
Esercizio 2
Send Brian a polite message after the death of his grandfather.
"I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather , please my for your ."
"I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather , please my for your ."
Send Brian a polite message after the death of his grandfather.
"I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather passed away 1, please accept 2 my condolences 3 for your loss 4."
"I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather passed away 1, please accept 2 my condolences 3 for your loss 4."
1 passed away: This is the most suitable term to use. "To pass away" means "to die". The expression is a polite way to indicate someone's death. At the beginning of this episode, Brian tells Hannah that his grandfather "passed away last week."
1 died: It is not suitable to use this verb in a polite message. The verb "to die" is generally not a polite expression to indicate someone's death.
1 croaked: It is not suitable to use this verb in a polite message. "To croak" is a slang (and very informal) expression that means "to die". Other slang expressions: "to kick the bucket" or "to pop one's clogs". Look at the famous "Dead Parrot" video by Monty Python for various comic expressions on death.
2 accept: This is the most suitable term to use. "Please accept my condolences" is a common polite expression to offer one's sympathies in the event of a death.
2 offer: The use of this term is not suitable. The expression "Please offer (my apologies)" might be suitable if you wanted to "pass on" your apologies to someone else. Example: I'm sorry your brother is not here, please offer my apologies to him when you next see him.
2 respect: The expression "Please respect (my wishes)" would not be suitable for this type of message.
3 condolences: This is the most suitable answer. The expression "Please accept my condolences" is typically used to express regret at someone else's loss. A "condolence" is an expression of regret or sympathy.
3 apologies: The use of this term is not suitable. There is no reason to apologise or say sorry for one's actions.
3 wishes: The use of this term is not suitable. There is no reason to offer one's "wishes" in this situation.
4 loss: This is the most suitable term. In this context, a "loss" is a polite term to describe a "death". Mrs Bentley says to Brian, "please accept my condolences for the loss of your grandfather." To refer to one's "loss" is to indicate the death of a close relative or acquaintance.
4 lost: This is incorrect. To be "lost" is to be unable to find one's way.
4 death: This is incorrect. In a polite message of grievance, it is unsuitable to directly refer to a "death".
