1 to be: The verb 'to seem' can only be directly followed by another verb in its full infinitive form. Example: I seem to be losing weight rapidly.
2 being: The verb 'to dislike' can only be directly followed by another verb in the gerund (ING) form. Example: I dislike being at the scene of the crime. 'Being' is the progressive or gerundive form of the verb 'to be'.
3 was: The expression 'as it once was' refers to a situation in the past. Freddie is comparing two time periods here: what it is like to currently be homeless (now), and what it was like to be homeless before (in the past). The expression 'as it once was' uses the simple past tense, because it refers to a completed time period.
Esercizio 2
Fill in the blanks below using terms you heard in the audio!
First, find the term which means "to appear" or "to look like": "It to be raining outside. Let's just watch TV!"
Next, find the item like a "cushion" that we rest our heads on in bed: "I always sleep with two - one is not enough!"
Still in the house, look for the term which is synonymous with "a bath": the place where we wash ourselves: "The phone rang while I was in the taking a bath. How annoying."

1 seems: "Seems" is the right answer here. If something "seems" a certain way, it "appears" or "looks" that way. In the dialogue, Cheryl mentions "things that aren't what they seem", meaning things that are different from their appearance. Example: "My cat seems to enjoy urinating on the sofa".
2 pillows: "Pillows" is the right answer here. A "pillow" is a soft item like a cushion, used for making our heads and necks more comfortable when we are in bed. Example: "Can I borrow your pillow? I want to sit up and read my book".
3 tub: "Tub" is the right answer. Cheryl says that the Sheik sometimes bathes in a "tub" of Bordello Breeze perfume. A "tub" is a large open container, which we fill with hot water and sometimes bubbles. Example: "Do you prefer to wash in the shower or in the tub?"
Esercizio 3
Now select the TRUE statements, there may be more than one correct choice!
Now select the TRUE statements, there may be more than one correct choice!
This is a true statement. Susie says, "How about I fly down to LA, and we can begin our negotiations?": an offer to meet Steve in person in order to negotiate with him. Susie needs to check her schedule, but she will probably meet Steve "next Tuesday". LA is short for Los Angeles, the "City of Angels"!
This is a true statement. Susie says, "We are hoping to shoot our first commercial starring Ivana in March".
This statement is false. Steve doesn't mention anything about Ivana's accommodation requirements or expectations. However, he does say, "Ivana doesn't even get out of bed for less than 50,000 dollars an appearance". This is an amusing way of saying that Ivana is usually paid $50,000 per job. "Accommodation" is a synonym of "lodgement" and describes hotels, apartments and houses.
if you are "not willing to (work with someone)", you "object" or "don't want to" (work with someone). This is not the case here: according to Steve, "Miss Bümbüm seemed rather enthusiastic about working with Delavigne". "Enthusiastic means "excited", therefore, 'Ivan is willing to work with Delavigne".
