Esercizio 1
Send Brian a polite message after the death of his grandfather.
"I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather , please my for your ."
"I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather , please my for your ."
Send Brian a polite message after the death of his grandfather.
"I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather passed away 1, please accept 2 my condolences 3 for your loss 4."
"I'm sorry to hear that your grandfather passed away 1, please accept 2 my condolences 3 for your loss 4."
1 passed away: This is the most suitable term to use. "To pass away" means "to die". The expression is a polite way to indicate someone's death. At the beginning of this episode, Brian tells Hannah that his grandfather "passed away last week."
1 died: It is not suitable to use this verb in a polite message. The verb "to die" is generally not a polite expression to indicate someone's death.
1 croaked: It is not suitable to use this verb in a polite message. "To croak" is a slang (and very informal) expression that means "to die". Other slang expressions: "to kick the bucket" or "to pop one's clogs". Look at the famous "Dead Parrot" video by Monty Python for various comic expressions on death.
2 accept: This is the most suitable term to use. "Please accept my condolences" is a common polite expression to offer one's sympathies in the event of a death.
2 offer: The use of this term is not suitable. The expression "Please offer (my apologies)" might be suitable if you wanted to "pass on" your apologies to someone else. Example: I'm sorry your brother is not here, please offer my apologies to him when you next see him.
2 respect: The expression "Please respect (my wishes)" would not be suitable for this type of message.
3 condolences: This is the most suitable answer. The expression "Please accept my condolences" is typically used to express regret at someone else's loss. A "condolence" is an expression of regret or sympathy.
3 apologies: The use of this term is not suitable. There is no reason to apologise or say sorry for one's actions.
3 wishes: The use of this term is not suitable. There is no reason to offer one's "wishes" in this situation.
4 loss: This is the most suitable term. In this context, a "loss" is a polite term to describe a "death". Mrs Bentley says to Brian, "please accept my condolences for the loss of your grandfather." To refer to one's "loss" is to indicate the death of a close relative or acquaintance.
4 lost: This is incorrect. To be "lost" is to be unable to find one's way.
4 death: This is incorrect. In a polite message of grievance, it is unsuitable to directly refer to a "death".
Esercizio 2
Floyd says: "The downside is that there is minimal or no interest on checking accounts, and there may be fees."
Another way to express this is: "The is that there is or no interest on checking accounts, and there may be ."
Another way to express this is: "The is that there is or no interest on checking accounts, and there may be ."
Floyd says: "The downside is that there is minimal or no interest on checking accounts, and there may be fees."
Another way to express this is: "The disadvantage 1 is that there is little 2 or no interest on checking accounts, and there may be charges 3."
Another way to express this is: "The disadvantage 1 is that there is little 2 or no interest on checking accounts, and there may be charges 3."
1 disadvantage: This is the best choice. "Downside" means "problem" or "inconvenience". Example: "The disadvantage of travelling by plane is that it causes lots of pollution".
1 advantage: This is not correct. An "advantage" is a "bonus" or "plus" - the opposite of "downside" and "disadvantage".
1 bottom line: This is not correct. The "bottom line" of an issue is the "key" or "essential point" of the issue. This does not share a similar meaning with "downside".
2 little: "Little" is the best choice. A "minimal" amount of money is a "tiny" or "very small" amount. Example: "There will be a minimal charge for this service: only $1".
2 medium: This is not correct. A "medium" amount of money is an "average" or "standard" amount, and this sounds unnatural. Moreover, the term "medium" does not share a similar meaning with "minimal". Example: "-Would you like your steak medium or well done -Neither! I'm a vegetarian!".
2 minus: This is not correct. A "minus" number is negative, as in "the temperature in Greenland can drop to minus forty degrees". This does not share a similar meaning with "minimal".
3 charges: "Charges" is the best choice here. "Fees" are "charges" made by a person or company for their services. Example: "This lawyer has very high fees, but she always wins".
3 losses: This is not correct. If you suffer a "loss", you "lose" money, or finish up with less money than you started with. This does not share a similar meaning with "fees".
3 taxes: This is not correct. "Taxes" are paid to government or local authorities; banks cannot charge taxes, and this term does not share a close meaning with "fees".
