1 Productivity: "Productivity" is the rate at which an employee or company does work. Example: When the internet in the office is not working, the worker productivity increases dramatically! In the song, Kevin says that the machine's productivity will improve, which probably means that it will produce more cold air!
1 Inefficiency : This isn't what Kevin sings here!
1 Performance: This isn't what Kevin sings here!
2 rise: "To rise" is "to increase" or "go up". It is an irregular verb (the sun rises/this morning the sun rose at 6.13am/the sun has risen 5 times this week!). Example: According to the news, unemployment has risen by 5%!
3 Inefficiency : "Efficiency" is the quality of doing things well so that time and money are not wasted. "Inefficiency" is the opposite of this. Example: This heating system is very inefficient - it costs me 400 pounds per month to heat my small apartment!
3 Productivity: Listen again! This isn't what Kevin sings here!
3 Performance: Listen again! This isn't what Kevin sings here!
4 die: "To die" is "to cease to exist" or "to stop living". Kevin sings that "inefficiency will die", meaning that the machine will start to work in a more efficient manner. Note: this is quite a poetic use of the term "to die", it would be more normal to say "inefficiency will be eliminated".
5 Performance: In this context, the "performance" of a machine is how well it is working. By saying "performance will be high", Kevin is encouraging the air conditioning unit to function well! Example: Bruno Delavigne drives a high-performance sports car to work.
5 Productivity: Sorry, this isn't the best choice!
5 Inefficiency : Sorry, this isn't the best choice!
6 high: If something is "high" it is greater than normal. Example: The temperature is very high for the time of year. After Kevin's heavy metal music, the AC machine's performance was higher than before!
Esercizio 2
Complete the imaginary dialogue using terms from the conversation you just heard.

Doctor: Good Morning, Mr. Marron. How much do you ?
Jean: In France: 60 kilograms ... In The US: 130 ... on the moon: 10 kilograms.
Doctor: Wow! You're not at all. You're extremely .
Jean: Merci!
Doctor: How much water do you drink each day?
Jean: 1 or 3.8 litres.
Doctor: (choose the most appropriate question)
Jean: What's my ? 170cm. (not used in dialogue)

Complete the imaginary dialogue using terms from the conversation you just heard.

Doctor: Good Morning, Mr. Marron. How much do you weigh 1?
Jean: In France: 60 kilograms ... In The US: 130 pounds 2... on the moon: 10 kilograms.
Doctor: Wow! You're not [not done] heavy 3 at all. You're extremely [not done] light 4.
Jean: Merci!
Doctor: How much water do you drink each day?
Jean: 1 gallon 5 or 3.8 litres.
Doctor: How tall are you? 6 (choose the most appropriate question)
Jean: What's my [not done] height 7? 170cm. (not used in dialogue)
1 weigh: "How much do you weigh?" is the most common way of asking for someone's weight. In the dialogue, Philip's friend Joe "weighs 250 pounds". Note: Phonetically, "weigh" sounds exactly the same as "way"!
2 pounds: A "pound" is a unit for measuring weight. 1 pound = 0.454 kilograms. In the US, it is common to describe people's weight in pounds. Example: The average American male weighs 191 pounds.
3 heavy: If something is "heavy", it weighs a lot and is difficult to move. Example: This dead body is very heavy.
4 light: If something is "light", it weighs very little. Feathers, pieces of paper, and leaves are all light!
5 gallon: A "gallon" is a unit for measuring liquid. In the US, 1 gallon = 3.8 liters. In the dialogue, Philip says, "I need to drink a gallon of beer just to tolerate you". Philip probably isn't going to literally drink a "gallon" of beer! He is probably just using the term in an exaggerated way to mean "a lot of liquid". Another example: When I cut my finger, I lost a gallon of blood!
6 How tall are you?: "How tall are you?" is the most common way of asking for someone's height. Example: -How tall is that French guy? -Jean is 1.44 meters tall. In the dialogue, Jean incorrectly says "(Joe) must measure 5 meters!". In English, the verb "to measure" is used to talk about finding the size of something. Example: We measured the length of the bed to see if it would fit in the bedroom. "To measure" is not used to describe how tall someone is.
6 How much do you measure?: Oops! We can't use the verb "to measure" like this!
6 How high are you?: We could say "How high is that building?" or "How high is that mountain?". Unfortunately, we can only say "How high are you?" if someone has taken drugs and we want to know how intoxicated they are!
7 height: "Height" is the measurement of how tall a person is. Example: Jean is of average height.
