Esercizio 1
According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?
According to the text, which of the following is NOT true?
This is a true statement. Bruno writes that the votes will be "tallied" over the weekend. To "tally" is similar to the verb "to count", though we often use "tally" to talk about votes. The expression "over the weekend" indicates that this action will take place on Saturday or Sunday (or both), before Monday's meeting.
This is the only statement which is not true. The staff will have a meeting "in addition to" the staff meeting on Monday to discuss the results of the vote.
This is a true statement. Bruno writes that either a pen or pencil may be used to complete the form. Bruno is a very generous man.
Esercizio 2
Select the TRUE statements from the list below according to Mrs Lee's email.

There may be more than 1!
Select the TRUE statements from the list below according to Mrs Lee's email.

There may be more than 1!
This choice is incorrect. Mrs Lee writes that her company's prices "are very competitive", and that she will "discuss this on Thursday". To be "willing (to discuss money)" is to be "prepared" or "happy" to do it.
This is a correct choice. Mrs Lee writes that Kevin (and the Delavigne Corporation) "might be interested in other production services beyond the glass bottles." Mei-Tsing is saying that Delavigne may want other products "beyond" or "in addition to" the initial request of glass bottles. "Beyond" means "further", "past" or "more than". For example: Beyond my house, there is a large rooster farm.
This is a correct choice. Mrs Lee writes that ChinaCorp employees "are used to working irregular hours and shifts". Being "used to (working late)" is to be accustomed to it. Example: I am used to waking up early because I grew up on a rooster farm. "Irregular" hours are hours which change often, and are not always the same every day. "A shift" refers to the working hours of a worker. Example: My shift begins at 4AM.
This choice is incorrect. Mrs Lee writes that "ChinaCorp will definitely be able to take care of (DC's) production requirements," meaning that ChinaCorp CAN satisfy Delavigne Corp's requirements or needs. The expression "to meet (sbdy's) requirements" shares a very similar meaning with the expression "to fulfill (sbdy's) needs". To "have trouble (with a math problem)" is to have difficulties in solving it.
Esercizio 3

Now let's imagine that she wants to leave a telephone message for Horatio. Select the most appropriate words and phrases from the list below to help Isabelle confirm her interest in the position once more.

Horatio: Hello, you have reached my magic telephone machine box. Please leave a detailed message after the beep and maybe I will listen if you are lucky.

Isabelle: Good evening, Mr. Oléré. Further 1 to my letter, which I hope you received, I would like to take this opportunity to reiterate 2 my strong interest in the position 3 of laboratory assistant at Delavigne. Furthermore 4, I am truly thrilled 5 by the prospect 6 of collaborating with you and the staff of the company. Once again, I think my skills are well-suited 7 for the job. My phone number is (408) 758-3629, please let me know 8 if I can answer any questions or concerns you may have. I hope to 9 hear from you soon.
1 Further: This is the best choice. "Further to (our meeting, my letter)" is an introduction used both to highlight or remind someone of an earlier exchange, correspondence or event, and also to provide additional information or details. The expression is often used to open emails, letters and even phone calls. Example: Further to the budget meeting of November 11th, here are the detailed notes of our discussion. Another option here might be "As a follow-up to (my letter)".
1 In return: This expression doesn't fit here. "In return" is an expression used exclusively for exchanges (in the sense of one thing being given in exchange for another). For example: In return for your services, we will compensate you. Note that this expression is generally followed by "for": In exchange FOR your help...
1 Please find enclosed: This expression doesn't fit here. "Please find enclosed" is used in letters or packages to alert someone to the inclusion of another object, check, etc. For example: Please find enclosed a check for 350 dollars for the payment of my electric bill. This expression shouldn't be used during a phone call!
1 Regarding: This expression doesn't fit here. "Regarding (my letter)" is used to make reference to a subject or object, however Isabelle is not referring directly to her letter, but rather giving Horatio information about the letter which she has already sent. Note that "Regarding" is NEVER followed by "to", but directly by an object. Example: I found your comments regarding our meeting to be quite disturbing.
2 reiterate: This is the best choice. "To reiterate" means to "re-state" or to "say again". Here it is synonymous with "to confirm" or "to emphasize". This term is commonly used to reaffirm one's interest in a position. Other options: to confirm, to reaffirm.
2 withdraw: This term doesn't fit here. "To withdraw" means to "remove" or "renounce" in this context, which is not what Isabelle intends to do!
2 remind: This term doesn't fit here. To "remind (someone of something)" is to help them remember it or to make sure that they don't forget it. Grammatically, "remind" is always directly followed by a verb in the infinitive form (with "to") or an object. Examples: Remind me TO CALL mom, OR She reminded HER SISTER of her obligations.
2 rewind: This term doesn't fit here. "To rewind (a cassette)" is to move it backwards, usually by using a button. Example: Can you rewind the tape about 5 minutes? I missed the most important part.
3 position: This is the best choice. "Position" is a term often used to describe a "post" or "job". It is the only term which fits this construction appropriately. Note that "position" and "post" are often used in formal contexts and correspondence, while "job" is slightly less formal.
3 work: Though not grammatically incorrect, using "work" here is extremely unnatural. We often ask what "type of work" a person does, but rarely do we use "work" to substitute for "job" or "position".
3 task: This term doesn't fit here. A "task" refers to a single assignment or chore. It can't be used to refer to a job or position which entails a series of responsibilities. A "task" might be "washing the dishes" or "cleaning the apartment", but not being a laboratory assistant.
3 employment: Though not grammatically incorrect, using "employment" here is extremely unnatural. The term "employment" is generally reserved for contexts which treat "employment" as a concept or idea, but rarely to refer to a specific job or position. For example: Finding employment is more and more difficult, even for highly-qualified individuals.
4 Furthermore: This is the best choice. "Furthermore" is a term often used in formal contexts to express that the writer or speaker wants to make an additional point, or add something to what has already been discussed or written about. In this case, Isabelle uses it to transition to her next idea: she wants to express her excitement at the possibility of working at Delavigne. Other options here: Additionally, Moreover.
4 In addition to: This term doesn't fit here. The expression "In addition to" must be followed by an object. For example: In addition to my skills as a writer, I am also a wonderful lover.
4 Concerning: This term doesn't fit here. "Concerning" must be followed by an object, and cannot be used on its own, followed by a comma! Also, "concerning" brings attention to a topic, while "furthermore" adds a second topic.
4 Nevertheless: This term doesn't fit here. "Nevertheless" is a term used to add contrast between two ideas. For example: He was small. Nevertheless, he won the fight. The term is similar to "however" in most contexts.
5 thrilled: This is the best choice. "To be thrilled" means to be extremely content or happy. Here Isabelle restates her excitement and enthusiasm at the possibility of working at the Delavigne Corporation.
5 enthusiastic: This term doesn't fit here. The term "enthusiastic" cannot be followed by the preposition "by". The term is generally followed by "about". Example: I am very enthusiastic about our new employee.
5 passionate: This term doesn't fit here. The term "passionate" cannot be followed by the preposition "by". The term is generally followed by "about". Example: I am passionate about learning new languages.
5 happy: This term doesn't fit here. The term "happy" cannot be followed by the preposition "by". The term is generally followed by "about". Example: I am happy about the increase in my salary.
6 prospect: This is the best choice. A "prospect" is synonymous with a "possibility" or an "eventuality" in this context. Note that in another context, the term can refer to a person, often a person who represents a potential sale or job candidate. Here a "prospect" refers to the possibility that Isabelle will join the Delavigne staff.
6 perspective: This term doesn't fit here. The word "perspective" can't be used to refer to a possibility. Don't confuse this term with "prospective", an adjective used to describe something or someone "potential" or "possible".
6 potential: Though not grammatically incorrect, using "potential" here is extremely unnatural. The term "potential" is generally reserved for speaking of the possible output of something. For example: Her potential seems unlimited OR The potential of this product is enormous. Though the term expresses a sense of possibility, it simply shouldn't be used to refer to the possibility of employment.
6 likelihood: This term doesn't fit here. A "likelihood" describes a probability or a strong possibility, however the term shouldn't be used in this construction both because it is inappropriate in terms of tone (it sounds arrogant) but also because it is unnatural. Saying this assumes or implies that it is an inevitability (and not just a possibility) that Isabelle will be given the job of laboratory assistant.
7 well-suited: This is the best choice. A "well-suited (candidate)" has skills which are appropriate or adapted to a position. We often find this adjective used by job applicants to describe their capacity or ability to perform a task. For example: I believe I am well-suited for the position of police officer as I am arrogant, unfriendly and self-absorbed. Note that "suit" is pronounced "sout" (the "ui" sound is pronounced "oo" in English)
7 like-minded: This term doesn't fit here. "(Two) like-minded (people)" think the same way, or share similar opinions, attitudes or ideas. Example: I get along very well with her because we are like-minded, and I don't like people who challenge me intellectually. This adjective is used when making comparisons and doesn't belong in this construction.
7 far-fetched: This term doesn't fit here. A "far-fetched (idea)" is ridiculous, unreasonable or poorly conceived. For example: Her story about walking to the office was far-fetched as she has no legs. "Far-fetched" is generally used to describe ideas and doesn't belong in Isabelle's message.
7 long-winded: This term doesn't fit here. "A long-winded (explanation)" is time-consuming and over-complicated. For example: He gave me a long-winded explanation of why the server wasn't working, but it turns out it was simply unplugged.
8 please let me know: This is the best choice. "Please let me know..." is a polite invitation for feedback. The expression is often followed by "if" to form a conditional statement: Please let me know if there is anything I can help you with. It is normal for a job candidate to finish messages or written correspondence with this type of formula.
8 don't hesitate: This expression doesn't fit here. "Don't hesitate" is generally followed by a verb, for example: "Don't hesitate TO CALL if you have any questions". Occasionally, we find the expression in its own clause to refer to an action which has been made explicit: If you need to call me, don't hesitate. When no action is implied or made explicit, it doesn't make sense to use the expression however: "Don't hesitate" shouldn't be directly followed by "if"!
8 ring a ding ding: This expression doesn't fit here. "Ring a ding ding" is something Frank Sinatra might say to a very special lady when trying to woo her into his sack, and by sack I mean bag, because Frank (or Old Blue Eyes as we like to call him) was known for putting his lady friends into bags. Bottom line: wrong answer but good thinking.
9 I hope to: This is the best choice. "I hope to (hear from you soon)" is an expression frequently used to conclude correspondence, and is very often found at the end of job applications and cover letters. Grammatically, the verb "to hope" is followed directly by another verb in its full infinitive form (with "to"): Isabelle hopes TO RECEIVE an answer from Horatio very soon.
9 In the hopes of: This expression doesn't fit this construction grammatically. "In the hopes of (a quick reply...) is followed either directly by an object, or by a verb in its 'ING" form (a gerund). For example, we could write: In the hopes of HEARING from you soon, I remain sincerely yours OR In the hopes of a quick resolution my problem...
9 It is my hope that: This expression doesn't fit this construction grammatically. "It is my hope that (you will find my work satisfactory)" cannot be followed by a verb in the infinitive form. This expression is frequently followed by a subject.
9 Big big kisses: Me love you long time. Alabama black snake too beaucoup.

You want to accept Bob's invitation. Complete the following letter, choosing the most appropriate expressions.

Dear Bob,

I am delighted 1 to hear about 2 the birth 3 of your baby daughter, and I would like to send my congratulations 4 to you and your lovely 5 wife. I wish your child all the health and happiness 6 in the world.

In reply to 7 your invitation, I would love to attend the baptism and I look forward 8 to seeing you on Thursday.

Best wishes 9,

Bill (the tall guy with the beard, in Sales)
1 delighted: This is the best choice for an informal letter. "Delighted" means "enthralled", "very happy" or "greatly pleased": one can be "delighted" by any good news. Example: She was delighted when she saw her neighbour was a young, handsome man.
1 disgusted: This is not correct. To be "disgusted" is to be shocked or sickened. Example: "I am disgusted by your refusal to allow me two hours off work to attend my mother's funeral."
1 ravished: This is not correct. To be "ravished" is literally to be abducted with violence, or raped. Someone who is "ravishing" is very beautiful.
1 encountered: This is not correct. "To encounter" is a literary form of "to meet". "I was on my way to visit grandma when I encountered a large wolf."
2 hear about: This is correct. "To hear about (the news)" is to learn about it. Example: I heard about the assassination of JFK while staying in a Thai prison. This is a useful term to use when discovering new events.
2 listen to: This is not correct. "To listen to (the news)" is to make an active effort to hear it. When information is passed to us from another source without us necessarily seeking it, we have to use the verb "to hear". "Listening" is a voluntary activity; "hearing" is involuntary.
2 inherit: This verb cannot be used here. "To inherit (money)" is to obtain it from someone after their death.
2 perceive: This is not correct. "To perceive" is a formal way of saying "to become aware of", "to notice", "to understand".
3 birth: This is correct. Bob is writing his letter to announce the "birth" of his daughter, so it would make sense to refer to this event. A "birth" refers literally to the beginning of someone's life, and figuratively to the beginning of any event (the birth of an organisation, of a company). Example: My entire family was present at the birth of my son.
3 pregnancy: This is not correct. "Pregnancy" is the state of a woman awaiting the birth of her child. Bob's wife, Sophie, has had her pregnancy, and she is no longer pregnant.
3 anniversary: This is not correct. In English, "anniversaries" mark the dates of significant events, marriages, or deaths. The celebration of your birth is your birthday. "Tomorrow will be the sixth anniversary of my father's death."
3 couch: This is not correct. A "couch" or "sofa" is a long, soft chair, often with cushions, designed to be used by more than one person at once.
4 congratulations: This is correct. "Congratulations" is the standard expression when reacting to good news. To "send someone your congratulations" is to express your pleasure at their success.
4 welcome: This is not correct. "To welcome" is "to accept" or "to admit with enthusiasm". It is common to welcome a baby into the world, but not to send a baby a "welcome".
4 good luck: This is not correct. You wish someone "good luck" before an event; "congratulations" if the outcome is successful.
4 thoughts: This is not correct. "Congratulations" are for good news; "thoughts" are for bad news. The expression "my thoughts are with you" is commonly used to express sympathy at a tragic time. A "thought" is the process of thinking.
5 lovely: This is correct. "Lovely" is a lovely word used to describe things that are lovely. Lovely can mean beautiful, graceful, adorable, wonderful, agreeable... Calling Bob's wife "lovely" would be an appropriate thing to do.
5 sympathetic: This is not correct. In English, the term sympathetic can't be used to compliment the way someone looks or dresses or if they are "nice". The primary sense of the term in English is "understanding" or "compassionate", for example: My wife wasn't very sympathetic when my father died, and she wouldn't let me attend the funeral.
5 idiotic: This is not correct. "Idiotic" means "very stupid". Even if you felt Bob's wife merited such a description, you would hardly put it in a letter like this one.
5 pregnant: This is not correct. A "pregnant" woman is awaiting the birth of her child. Bob's wife has just given birth and is this no longer pregnant.
6 health and happiness: This is the best answer. To wish someone "(all the) health and happiness (in the world)" is a very nice thing to say, after all what more do parents want for their children? Apart from good looks, good grades, a good job, a rich spouse, etc.
6 war and peace : This is not correct. You may want to wish peace for the world, but wishing war on anyone is not very nice.
6 love and marriage: This is not correct. The baby is barely one week old. It shouldn't be thinking about romance yet!
6 diet and exercise: This is not correct. The baby is barely one week old. It probably doesn't need to lose weight.
7 In reply to: This is correct. "In reply to (your letter)" is commonly used at the start of a sentence to refer to a previous letter, and to state your response. Example: In reply to your job advertisement, please find enclosed my CV and cover letter.
7 In reference to: This is not correct. The expression "in reference to" is very formal, and appropriate only in a business letter. "In reference to your letter of June 21, our legal team denies all responsibility in the affair."
7 Please find enclosed: This is not correct. The expression "please find enclosed" is used to draw attention to an item, usually a cheque or a document, attached to a letter. "Please find enclosed a copy of my CV."
7 In addition to: This is not correct. The expression "in addition to" means "as well as". "I've had a tough week. In addition to my job, I've had to look after three five-year-old boys!"
8 look forward: This is correct. To "look forward to (doing something)" is to be excited and impatient about it or to anticipate it with pleasure. "I look forward to seeing you (on Saturday)" is a polite expression of anticipation.
8 wish: This is not correct. "I wish to SEE you" is correct, however this blank is followed by a verb in the gerund (seeing).
8 hope: This is not correct. "I hope to SEE you" is perfectly correct, however this blank is followed by a verb in the gerund (seeing).
8 hate: This is incorrect. To "hate (to do something)" is to detest doing it. The verb is never used to express "looking forward to" an event and can be followed by a verb in the full infinitive or directly by the gerund with little difference in meaning: to hate doing or to do something.
9 Best wishes: This is the best choice. We can close most non-business correspondence in this way. Other examples of closing a letter to friends and acquaintances: warm wishes/best regards/sincerely/with thanks.
9 May the force be with you: This is not correct. "Best wishes" is a standard way of closing non-business correspondence. "May the force be with you" might pass in an informal note between close friends who were Star Wars fanatics.
9 Get well soon: This is not correct. "Get well soon" is used to wish people who are ill a quick recovery, Bob does not say that he (or anyone else) is ill.
9 Tanks you: Ah, the tank. Massive weapon of destruction introduced in the first world war by the British during the battle of Cambrai. An effective killing machine for sure, but not the ideal word to end a letter.
Esercizio 5
"This success is a testament to... our business model".

This could be rephrased as this success is our business model.
"This success is a testament to... our business model".

This could be rephrased as this success is a reflection of our business model.
a reflection of: This is the correct choice. To be a "testament to (something)" means "to be a reflection of" or "proof" of it. For example: This building is a testament to the architects and the workers who designed and built it. Bruno means that Delavigne Corp's financial success is a demonstration of the safe nature of its business model.
in spite of: This is incorrect. "In spite of" shares a similar meaning with "despite" or "regardless of". Bruno does not mean that Delavigne's financial success had nothing to do with its business model.
in addition to: This is incorrect. "In addition to" and "to be a testament to" do not share the same meaning. "In addition to" is synonymous with "as well as" or "plus".
