Esercizio 1
Mr. Adventure: I've climbed four of the world's seven highest mountains.
Icarus: Gosh! Isn't it dangerous up there? Aren't you afraid of avalanches?
Mr. Adventure: so good. And life is short . I say, 'Carpe Diem!'
Icarus: Uh, I know exactly what you mean. today I've finalized four budget reports!
Icarus: Gosh! Isn't it dangerous up there? Aren't you afraid of avalanches?
Mr. Adventure: so good. And life is short . I say, 'Carpe Diem!'
Icarus: Uh, I know exactly what you mean. today I've finalized four budget reports!
Mr. Adventure: So far 1 I've climbed four of the world's seven highest mountains.
Icarus: Gosh! Isn't it dangerous up there? Aren't you afraid of avalanches?
Mr. Adventure: So far 2 so good. And life is short after all 3. I say, 'Carpe Diem!'
Icarus: Uh, I know exactly what you mean. so far 4 today I've finalized four budget reports!
Icarus: Gosh! Isn't it dangerous up there? Aren't you afraid of avalanches?
Mr. Adventure: So far 2 so good. And life is short after all 3. I say, 'Carpe Diem!'
Icarus: Uh, I know exactly what you mean. so far 4 today I've finalized four budget reports!
1 So far: The idiom 'so far' refers to a situation that continues 'until now' or 'up until this moment'. Example: 'So far we have had three exams in my algebra class, and I think we will have a fourth one next week'. Mr. Adventure has climbed four mountains 'so far' or 'until this point in his life', and the implication is that he will probably climb more mountains in the future.
1 Initially: 'Initially' can't be followed by the present perfect tense. 'Initially' refers to an action that happened at the beginning or start of something, and must be used with the simple past tense. Example: 'Initially, I didn't like him at all, but then he turned out to be very nice'.
1 At once: The idiom 'at once' expresses that something happened 'immediately' or 'simultaneously'. It would be impossible to climb four mountains 'simultaneously'; and Mr. Adventure would not talk about climbing mountains 'immediately' without any previous context. He might say: 'I finished climbing Mount Kilimanjaro on 5 June 1988, and I decided at once that I wanted to climb Mount Everest'.
1 Directly: 'Directly' has several senses. It can express that something will happen immediately, for example: 'After we ate, we went directly to class'. It can also refer to a precise location, for example: 'The bank is directly in front of the McRonald's restaurant'. Neither of these meanings makes sense here.
2 So far: The idiomatic expression 'so far so good' expresses that everything is good and okay 'until now' or 'up until the present moment'. Example: '-We've seen no police cars on the highway. -So far so good'.
2 After all: The idiom 'after all' expresses that everything else has been considered, and does not make sense in this sentence. Example: 'I don't think we should get a cat. After all, looking after a pet is hard work'.
2 Initially: The sentence 'Initially so good' does not make sense by itself. 'Initially' refers to an action that was true at the beginning or start of something. For example: 'Initially, I had no friends in the office, but I got closer to my colleagues over time'.
2 At once: The term 'at once' refers to an immediate action, or multiple simultaneous actions. For example: 'We must leave at once!'; 'Three buses came at once'. The sentence 'At once so good' makes very little sense.
3 after all: The expression 'after all' suggests that after considering everything, this is how the situation is or remains. Example: 'You should quit your job and become a clown. After all, we only live once!'.
3 so far: The idiom 'so far' refers to a situation that continues 'until now' or 'up until this moment'. Example: 'I have drunk alcohol three times this week so far'. 'Life is short so far' would imply that life might become longer in the future. This is not impossible, but it is not a very likely option here.
3 initially: 'Initially' refers to an action that happened at the beginning or start of something. Example: 'Initially, I was terrible at playing cards, but I got better with practice'. 'Life is short initially' implies that at first life is short, then changes somehow to be longer, and this doesn't make very much sense.
3 at once: The term 'at once' mostly refers to an immediate action. For example: 'Please call me at once'. The sentence 'Life is short at once' makes very little sense, because we are not talking about something immediate here.
4 so far: 'So far today' means 'Between the start of today and now'. Icarus has finalized four budget reports 'so far' or 'until this point in time' (considering today only). Another example: 'I've had seven boyfriends so far this year'.
4 initially: 'Initially' can't be followed by the present perfect tense. 'Initially' refers to an action that happened at the beginning or start of something, and must be used with the simple past tense. Example: 'Initially, the prime minister promised the negotiations would be easy, but this soon proved to be a lie'.
4 directly: 'Directly' has several senses. It can express that something will happen immediately, for example: 'I'm coming to your house directly from work'. It can also refer to a precise location, for example: 'The park is directly behind the museum'. Neither of these meanings makes sense here.
4 at once: The term 'at once' mostly refers to an immediate action. For example: 'Please come to the principal's office at once'. The phrase 'Today at once' makes very little sense, because 'today' refers to a relatively long period of time, while 'at once' refers to a specific point in time.
