Choose the phrase from the list below which might replace Trey's expression "I'll lose some weight".
Choose the phrase from the list below which might replace Trey's expression "I'll lose some weight".
A "diet" is a carefully selected range of foods that an individual eats for medical reasons or weight loss. The term "weight" refers to how heavy something or someone is. When Trey says "I'll lose some weight" he is referring to his own "weight". He says this because he wants to fit into the medium sized T-shirt which Bruno has offered him.
Trey's expression "I'll lose weight" refers to his intention to "go on a diet" in order to fit into the t-shirt Bruno is offering him. This statement couldn't be replaced by "that doesn't bother me", which means "I don't mind".
Trey isn't saying that he doesn't want the T-shirt Bruno is offering him, which is what "forget about it" would express in this context. Trey is promising to become slimmer, or to lose weight so that he can fit into the shirt.
Trey is not promising "to do better" or "improve". He is actually referring to going on a diet so that he can fit into the medium T-shirt which Bruno offers him.

Harold Warbuckle and I went to a very expensive restaurant last night. I had roasted lamb with green beans. It tasted awful, I mean really, really bad! It was the most food I had ever eaten. I think they left the wool* on the when they cooked it because it was like eating a pullover. After dinner we decided to go to MacRonald's because we were still hungry. It was delicious and we ate and ate until we were completely . We couldn't eat another bite! Harold and I both agreed that we would never eat expensive food again. From now on, we'll only eat like burgers, pizza, hot dogs and chips. Although we will probably become big and , we can just go on a afterwards.
* Note: "Wool" is a material used to make pullovers, socks and gloves for winter.

1 disgusting: A "disgusting (meal)" tastes repulsive or very bad. In this broadcast, Brent asks Moira if "haggis" is the Scottish word for "disgusting". Note that the term "disgusting" is not reserved exclusively for describing taste or cuisine. Example: The behaviour of that man is disgusting, he has no morals. In this sentence, "disgusting" means inappropriate, morally offensive or repulsive.
2 sheep: A sheep is a four-legged animal that eats grass in fields. A young sheep is called a "lamb", while the female sheep is sometimes called a "ewe". When sheep is cooked and prepared to be eaten, it is occasionally called "mutton" and the dish which is prepared from their ribs is called "lamb chops". The coat or fur of the sheep is called wool or fleece and is used to make pullovers, blankets, vests and other such items. In this broadcast, Brent describes "haggis" as a sheep's stomach stuffed or filled with animal organs. To learn more about the amazing sheep visit a local butcher or sheep farm. Note that "sheep" is both the singular and plural form of the noun: a sheep, the sheep.
3 stuffed: To "stuff (a chicken)" is to fill it until there is no space left. We use the term figuratively as well to describe the sensation of "overeating" or eating too much (the stomach is "full of food", with no room left). In this broadcast, Brent and Moira discuss Haggis, which is a Scottish dish comprised of a sheep's stomach, "stuffed" or "filled" with animal organs. Note that as a noun, "stuff" has an entirely different meaning. The term is a very general way to refer to "things". Example: I have a lot of stuff to do OR There is a lot of stuff on my desk.
4 junk food: "Junk food" is a term used to describe food which has little or no nutritional value such as fast food from McDonald's or candy with artificial colors and flavors. Here the speaker is describing his resolution to eat exclusively low-quality food like burgers, pizza and chips. In the broadcast, Moira speculates that the cause of obesity in America is due to repeated consumption of "junk food".
5 fat: The adjective "fat" describes the state of being "heavy", "obese" or "overweight". Here the speaker is describing the inevitable result of eating only "junk food". In this broadcast, Brent and Moira debate the cause of the majority of Americans being "fat".
6 diet: A "diet" is the particular range or selection of foods that someone eats. Here the term is used as part of the idiom "to go on a diet", which describes eating (or abstaining from eating) certain foods in order to lose weight (or become thin). Here the speaker indicates that after becoming "fat", he will "diet" in order to lose weight afterwards. In this broadcast, Brent and Moira refer to both the American and Mediterranean diet.

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"!
Esercizio 5
The Perfume Hut will be "downsizing". This means they will be:
The Perfume Hut will be "downsizing". This means they will be:
This is correct. The term "downsizing" refers to a company's decision to fire or "lay-off" employees due to budgetary restrictions. The term almost always indicates that personnel is being reduced, but can also express that the company is cutting overheads and expenditure in a variety of ways.
This is incorrect. "Downsizing" does not express that a company is going on a diet. To "go on a diet" means to eat less food or different foods in order to lose weight or for health reasons.
This is incorrect. "Downsizing" does not express that a company is "reducing their inventory".
This is incorrect. "Downsizing" does not express that a company is "discounting" their products.
