Esempi
- "After complaining about the weather for half an hour, she told me that she recently handed over a cheque for £90,000 to a "nice young man", and that in exchange he promised to re-plaster the ceiling in her sitting room. I'm no expert on re-plastering, but this seems like a rather large sum of money."

- "I recently had guests visit me, and I was quite embarrassed to have to apologize to them about the state of my bathroom. Explaining the large pieces of wood and plaster lodged in the toilet and sink was particularly difficult."

Fill in the blanks below with some useful terms from Icarus's letter!
First of all, find the term that refers to the top surface of a room, above the walls:
There are dead mosquitoes squashed all over my bedroom .
Now find the two words which refer to decorating and building work at one's house or flat:

Finally, look for the term which describes a material applied to coat walls, for example, which dries to form a hard and smooth surface:

1 ceiling: "Ceiling" is the right answer. The "ceiling" of a room is opposite the floor, and it is where the light can usually be found, along with some dust. This is the part of Icarus' bathroom which has suffered some bad damage. Another example: "Please give me the ladder so I can stick this poster on the ceiling".
2 home improvements: "Home improvements" is the best answer here. This term includes activities such as re-decorating a room, knocking down a wall to make a bigger room, or fitting a new shower unit. It is Mr. Sackofshitz's "home improvements" which caused so much damage to Icarus' bathroom. Another example: "My father enjoys making home improvements on Sundays".
3 plaster: "Plaster" is the term we were looking for. It is a mixture of lime or gypsum, sand, and water used to cover walls and ceilings when we build a house. This white product is applied as a wet paste, and then dries to form a solid surface. Note that there is a related verb "to plaster". Example: "I'm going to plaster the bathroom tonight. I'm so excited!".

1 clay: This is the correct answer. "Clay" is a soft material (a type of earth) which can be baked and is used to make pottery, china, bricks, etc. One of the famous scenes in the film Ghost has Demi Moore making an erotic clay model.
1 glass: This is incorrect. Glass is brittle transparent material and doesn't match this description.
1 concrete: This is incorrect. "Concrete" is a building material made of cement, sand, stone and water. It hardens when mixed with water, not in an oven.
1 steel: This is incorrect. "Steel" is a metal alloy made from iron and carbon (with a smaller amount of other elements).
1 plaster: This is incorrect. "Plaster" becomes hard when mixed with water.
2 concrete: This is the correct answer. "Concrete" is a very hard and durable material that is often used for large construction projects. It is generally a mixture of sand, cement and water.
2 steel: This is incorrect. "Steel" is a metal alloy made from iron and carbon (with a smaller amount of other elements).
2 clay: This is incorrect. Clay is a soft material which is quite fragile, even when heated.
2 glass: This is incorrect. Glass is brittle transparent material and doesn't match this description.
2 plaster: This is incorrect. "Plaster" is not made with cement.
3 plaster: This is the correct answer. "Plaster" is a powder which when mixed with water becomes hard. It is often used in construction to "coat" walls to make their surface smooth. It is also used in medicine to make a support for broken bones. It is also popular with artists to make casts and sculptures.
3 glass: This is incorrect. Glass is brittle transparent material and doesn't match this description.
3 clay: This is incorrect. Clay is a soft material which is not usually used in medicine.
3 steel: This is incorrect. "Steel" is a metal alloy made from iron and carbon (with a smaller amount of other elements).
3 concrete: This is incorrect. "Concrete" is a building material made of cement, sand, stone and water. Although it can be smooth, it is too heavy to support broken bones in medicine.
4 steel: This is the correct answer. "Steel" is a metal alloy of iron and carbon. It is hard, strong and durable. In the audio, Lindsay says that the atrium has a "glass and steel roof", meaning that the top of the building is supported by this metal and has transparent glass to give light.
4 clay: This is incorrect. Clay is a soft material and not a metal.
4 glass: This is incorrect. Glass is brittle transparent material and doesn't match this description.
4 concrete: This is incorrect. "Concrete" is a building material made of cement, sand, stone and water.
4 plaster: This is incorrect. "Plaster" is not a metal.

"I use protection!"
Which term could replace "protection" here?

"I use protection!"

Which term could replace "protection" here?
Oops! "Preservatives" are chemicals that preserve food to make it last longer. The term "preservative" is never used to describe contraceptives.
Condoms are usually made of latex or rubber, and are used as a form of birth control or to prevent diseases. The nurse is worried that Brian may have sexual diseases so Brian tries to reassure him by saying he uses "protection". This means Brian is careful and probably uses condoms.
Oops! "Umbrellas" protect us from the rain, not sexual diseases!
Oops! Plasters are small, sticky pieces of plastic that are applied to cuts and wounds to protect the body from infection (and stop you bleeding everywhere!). Note, in the US, "plasters" are called "band-aids".
