Esercizio 1
Why does Bruno say he hates telemarketers?
Why does Bruno say he hates telemarketers?
Telemarketers do not come in packaging. If something is "defective", it is faulty or has something wrong with it. This is not the reason Bruno gives for hating telemarketers.
Bruno comments that telemarketers always call during dinner, but never mentions that they dial the wrong number.
Although Trey does say that he hates telemarketers, this is because he is agreeing with Bruno. Trey responds to Bruno's comment about hating telemarketers, not the other way round.
Telemarketers are well-known for calling people's homes at times when they are most likely to be there, supper time for example. Bruno says that he hates telemarketers because "they always call during dinner", meaning that they disturb him when he is having his evening meal.

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.

This is a false statement. The terms "genes" and "jeans" sound the same, but there is no mention of denim trousers in this dialogue. Rather, Horatio tells us that monkeys and humans are very closely related, genetically.
This is not true. There is no indication that Horatio is jealous in this dialogue. Rather, he is encouraging Esmeralda and Philip in their potential romance.
This is a true statement. At the end of the dialogue, Horatio tells us that Esmeralda "wants to take (Philip) out to dinner". Philip agrees, saying "Oh hell, why not. Ok Esmeralda, get your coat". To "get one's coat" is to pick up a jacket in order to go outside. That's right: Philip is going to eat dinner at a restaurant with a monkey.

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"!
