Fill in the blanks below with terms used in the conversation.

NOTE: This is NOT a transcript of the dialogue you just heard.

Bruno: I'm furious with you Horatio. I mean really, really angry. But I'm trying to stay calm, and not lose my temper 1.
Horatio: I don't care if you yell and shout, Bruno. I'm not a little child, I can take your anger like a man. Don't worry, I'm not sensitive 2 like Icarus or Luna.
Bruno: Well I'm not going to scream and shout. Dr. Donna Donovan has asked me to get better at controlling my emotions. I'm trying to improve 3 as a person.
Donna: Fantastic, Bruno! Your statement is a major accomplishment, a real breakthrough 4.
Bruno: Donna, have you been here this entire time?
Horatio: Where did this woman come from?
Donna: I was under the desk. Now, Bruno, embrace Horatio. Give him a big, warm, American hug 5.
Bruno: Fine.
Donna: And now a little kiss.
Horatio: No kissing.
1 temper: "To lose one's temper" is an expression which means "to lose control of one's emotions", or to become very angry. In this conversation, Bruno apologizes to Horatio for "losing his temper", or acting in anger while in Horatio's laboratory. In this exercise, Bruno is expressing that even though he is angry with Horatio, he won't lose control of his emotions, and he will remain calm.
2 sensitive: A "sensitive" person is especially perceptive or easily affected emotionally by actions. The term is sometimes used to describe a person who is easily offended or upset, although the term is not pejorative. In this conversation, Horatio says "I know (Bruno's nose) is a sensitive subject", which indicates that Horatio knows that Bruno's nose (specifically his loss of his ability to smell) is a delicate topic which upsets or disturbs Bruno. In this exercise, Horatio informs Bruno that he should speak freely because he is capable to take or deal with anything Bruno might say, and that he isn't delicate or "sensitive"
3 improve: "To improve (as a person)" is to get better or develop as a person. For example: Your work has improved considerably over the last few weeks'. In this conversation, Bruno tells Horatio that he knows "how hard (he) is working to improve his English", meaning that Horatio is working hard to get better at speaking English. In this exercise, Bruno refuses to yell and scream at Horatio because he is trying to "improve" as a person.
4 breakthrough: A "breakthrough" is a term used to describe an achievement, accomplishment or discovery. The term is frequently used by psychologists and therapists to describe a great accomplishment in a patient's life, specifically to express that they have "overcome" or "surpassed" an obstacle. For example: When Horatio admitted that he was wrong, it was an incredible breakthrough. Note that a "breakthrough" can also be used in a different context to describe an important discovery or milestone. For example: The discovery of penicillin was a breakthrough in the medical field. "Breakthrough" can also be used as an adjective: A "breakthrough" technology.
5 hug: A "hug" is an embrace, a physical gesture in which two people briefly hold each other affectionately. Donna suggests that Bruno and Horatio hug at the end of their session, and then Horatio insists that Donna join them in their embrace.
Esercizio 3
"I have some... sensitive operations that require a certain discretion."

Brian means that:
"I have some... sensitive operations that require a certain discretion."

Brian means that:
This is correct. Brian explains that his visit to the store is "for work purposes". When he speaks of "sensitive operations" requiring "discretion", he's trying to avoid saying "industrial espionage" directly. The shopkeeper understands Brian's hesitation: "Would you like to follow me to the back of the store?". He confirms the secrecy by saying "We can discuss this in privacy. You never know who's listening in!".
This is not correct. Brian explains that his visit to the store is "for work purposes".
This is not correct. Brian explains that his visit to the store is "for work purposes".
This is not correct. On the contrary, Brian is interested in seeing more objects at the back of the store.
Esercizio 4
Choose the correct term to complete the following sentences:

I'm extremely that you can't have dinner with me tomorrow.

It would be to bring an umbrella to the picnic, in case it rains.

We were into believing his ridiculous promises.

Our relationship with China is a very issue.
Choose the correct term to complete the following sentences:

I'm extremely disappointed 1 that you can't have dinner with me tomorrow.

It would be sensible 2 to bring an umbrella to the picnic, in case it rains.

We were deceived 3 into believing his ridiculous promises.

Our relationship with China is a very sensitive 4 issue.
1 disappointed: This is correct. To be "disappointed" is to be "upset (by having your hopes frustrated)". Example: "My mother will be disappointed if I fail my exams." In his email, Bruno writes that he is "disappointed" in Horatio.
1 deceived: To be "deceived" is to be "tricked" or "fooled" in some way. This does not make sense in the context of this sentence. Example: "The salesman deceived us with lies about the nuclear-powered vacuum-cleaner."
2 sensible: "Sensible" is the right answer here. Something "sensible" is "wise", or shows "good sense". Here, the speaker is saying that it would be a good idea to bring an umbrella. Some more examples: "You should wear sensible shoes when walking in the country", 'John is a very sensible young man, and never acts stupidly.
2 sensitive: If someone is "sensitive", they are "easily hurt". This does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
3 deceived: This is the better choice here. To be "deceived" is to be "tricked", "cheated", or "fooled" in some way. Example: "Philip deceived his girlfriend by saying the woman in his apartment was his sister."
3 disappointed: This is not correct. To be "disappointed" is to be "upset" (by having your hopes frustrated). Example: "My parents were disappointed when they discovered that my new boyfriend was an English teacher." Additionally, "disappointed" is never followed by the preposition "into".
4 sensitive: This is correct. "Sensitive", means "capable of sensation or feeling". A "sensitive" human being is one whose feelings are easily hurt. Example: "Chloe was a very sensitive little girl, and she cried easily".
4 sensible: This is not correct. A "sensible" decision is one characterized by good sense. This does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
Esercizio 5
After following Luna's advice, which of these statements should Philip include in his reply to the job applicant?

There may be more than one correct answer!
After following Luna's advice, which of these statements should Philip include in his reply to the job applicant?

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is not a suitable statement. Philip was asked by Luna not to "mention any pregnancy issues". Philip should therefore avoid referring to the fact that the applicant may soon have a baby.
This is not a suitable statement. Luna asks Philip to be "sensitive", meaning she wants him to be "thoughtful", "kind" and "concerned".
This would be a suitable statement to include in a rejection letter. Philip needs to tell the applicant that she has not been selected for the position.
In another situation this would be one way of firing someone from a position. The purpose, however, of Philip's letter is to reject a job applicant, not to terminate her employment. To "let (an employee) go" is a common way to say that an employee has been "fired".
This would be a suitable way of ending an applicant rejection letter. It's always nice to look to the future in a positive way!
This would be a suitable way of telling an applicant that they have not been selected for the position. Luna tells Philip that he must not "mention any pregnancy issues", so this statement would be a neutral way to deliver bad news.
