Esercizio 1
Which of the following statements could replace the first line in Bob's email without changing its meaning?
Which of the following statements could replace the first line in Bob's email without changing its meaning?
This is incorrect. "You'll never know who stopped by my office this morning" expresses a different idea than Bob's sentence in his email. If Bob had written this, he would be "provoking" or "mocking" Jean by telling him that he will never find out who came to his office.
This is correct. "You'll never imagine..." shares a similar meaning with "you'll never guess", although Bob's sentence in the text is the more common expression. "You'll never guess..." is an idiom used to introduce surprising or shocking news. It is literally a request to try to imagine what the speaker is thinking about.
This is incorrect. "You'll won't appreciate who stopped by my office this morning" expresses a different idea than Bob's sentence in his email. If Bob had written this, he would be declaring that Jean would never "like" who stopped by the office.
This is incorrect. "You'll never wonder who stopped by my office this morning" expresses a different idea than Bob's sentence in his email. If Bob had written this, he would be declaring that Jean would never "hypothesize" or "ask himself" who stopped by the office.
This is incorrect. "You'll never forget who stopped by my office this morning" expresses a different idea than Bob's sentence in the email. If Jean doesn't know about Susie and Bob's meeting, how could he "forget" it?

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'.

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'.

- I have good news! I was offered a job last week!
- Great! I guess the interviewer liked your suit.
guess: "Guess" is the right answer here. To "guess" is to "assume" or "suppose" in this context. Example: "It's 4AM. I guess we'll have to walk home". Note that "to guess" can also mean "to estimate". Example: "If you don't know the answer, just guess: you might be lucky!".
Esercizio 4
Fill in the blanks with the appropriate financial terms from the list below:

revenue | unemployment | redundancy | downturn | quarter | GDP

This term describes a measurement of a country's earnings and spending.
'The UK's was $2.78 trillion last year. That's a lot of money!'

The next word refers to a 'slowing', 'decrease', or 'reduction':
'We are experiencing an economic : times are bad for businesses.'

Now find the word that refers to 'the number of people without a job':
'The levels in Bulgaria are very low: almost everyone has a job!'

Finally, a term that has nothing to do with finance! It is not in the list above but it was used in the dialogue.

This word means to 'predict', 'imagine', or 'make an estimate':
'I don't know the answer to the question so I'm going to have to the answer.'
Fill in the blanks with the appropriate financial terms from the list below:

revenue | unemployment | redundancy | downturn | quarter | GDP

This term describes a measurement of a country's earnings and spending.
'The UK's GDP 1 was $2.78 trillion last year. That's a lot of money!'

The next word refers to a 'slowing', 'decrease', or 'reduction':
'We are experiencing an economic downturn 2: times are bad for businesses.'

Now find the word that refers to 'the number of people without a job':
'The unemployment 3 levels in Bulgaria are very low: almost everyone has a job!'

Finally, a term that has nothing to do with finance! It is not in the list above but it was used in the dialogue.

This word means to 'predict', 'imagine', or 'make an estimate':
'I don't know the answer to the question so I'm going to have to guess 4 the answer.'
1 GDP: 'GDP' is short for 'gross domestic product', and is the right answer here. If you want to get technical about what GDP is, I can tell you that a country's GDP is its consumption + gross investment + government spending + (exports - imports). Another example: 'Japan's GDP fell 1% over the past 12 months. It's a disaster!'.
2 downturn: 'Downturn' is the best choice here. A 'downturn' is a less successful period, when things slow down and growth is small. This is especially used for financial situations. Here's another example: 'Due to the current downturn, our sales are slowing and we're trying to find ways to reduce expenditure'.
3 unemployment: 'Unemployment' is the right answer. 'Unemployment' has two slightly different meanings. It can mean the state of being without a job: 'During my unemployment, I learnt how to speak Latin'. It can also refer to the number of people without work in a country: 'Unemployment has been falling for the past two years'.
4 guess: 'Guess' is the right answer! The verb 'to guess' expresses a similar meaning to the terms 'to imagine', 'to suppose', or 'to conjecture'. For example, 'I can't possibly guess how old your dog is'. In the dialogue, Brian encourages his colleagues to 'guess' the word he is thinking of. Note that we can also use this term to mean 'believe' or 'assume': 'I guess you're sad that your dog has dies'.
Esercizio 5
Choose the right words to complete the dialogue below.

Clyde: Darling, where do we the paper clips? I can't find any! Have we run out?
Bonnie: Don't be ridiculous, we have thousands of paper clips. There are of them right there in the desk drawer. Are you blind?
Clyde: I I must be blind, because I can't see any paper clips here.
Bonnie: Well, look .
Choose the right words to complete the dialogue below.

Clyde: Darling, where do we keep 1 the paper clips? I can't find any! Have we run out?
Bonnie: Don't be ridiculous, we have thousands of paper clips. There are loads 2 of them right there in the desk drawer. Are you blind?
Clyde: I guess 3 I must be blind, because I can't see any paper clips here.
Bonnie: Well, look around 4.
1 keep: This is the better choice here. Often, when you forget where you store something in the home or office, you can ask, "Where do we keep them?", meaning "where do we store this item?".
1 look: This is incorrect. Clyde is already looking for something but he can't find it. He needs to know where it is kept.
2 loads: This is the right answer. "Loads" means "a large amount", "many", or "lots". Here's another example: "I can't come to the cinema tonight: I have loads of homework to do".
2 sorts: This is incorrect. "Sorts" means different types, for example "All sorts of people surf the internet." Bonnie is not trying to tell Clyde that there are various different paper clips, but simply that there are many of them.
3 guess: "Guess" is the right answer. "To guess" means "to imagine", "to estimate", or "to make a conjecture". For example: "I don't know what time I'll finish work, but I guess it'll be around 5PM".
3 get: This is incorrect. "To get" means to "obtain" or "receive" something. This doesn't make sense here.
4 around: This is the better choice here. Bonnie wants Clyde to pursue his search over a broad area, so she says, "Look around!"
4 where: This is not correct, and it does not make sense!
