Esercizio 1
According to Susie's description of Delavigne's "target market" for TigerLily, which of the following people would be most likely to purchase a bottle of the perfume?
According to Susie's description of Delavigne's "target market" for TigerLily, which of the following people would be most likely to purchase a bottle of the perfume?
Because Melanie is a "high-school graduate", she is too young to be part of the target age described by Susie. Also because Melanie has a "longtime boyfriend", she doesn't fit into the category of "divorced, love-starved" women.
Because Sarah is a "senior citizen", which means she is over the age of 65, she does not fit the description given by Susie.
This is the best choice here. Susie says that Delavigne is targeting "divorced women, aged 29-55". Amanda fits these criteria better than any of the other choices.
Because Susie says that the product is targeting "women", John is not the best choice here.
Esercizio 2
Dr. Donna asks Susie many questions about her professional and personal life.

What information does Susie give Donna?

There may be more than one correct answer!
Dr. Donna asks Susie many questions about her professional and personal life.

What information does Susie give Donna?

There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is true. Susie tells Dr. Donna that she drinks no more than the average "single, overworked executive". In this context, the term "single" indicates that Susie is unmarried. She then tells Donna that she doesn't have time to meet anyone. Both of these statements indicate that Susie is "unmarried".
This statement is false. Susie tells Donna that after a day of work, she only has enough energy to have a glass of Pinot Grigio (an Italian white wine) and watch an episode of "Sex And The City" (a popular television show). Susie is saying that she does do this, although she is too tired to do anything else (like look for a boyfriend, for example).
Susie tells Donna that driving around in her car makes her feel "carsick", which is the type of nausea or discomfort some people experience when driving or riding in a car (usually long distance). Susie feels sick when she drives, not because of her solitude. Susie never mentions that her loneliness (or solitude) bothers her. Donna is the one who implies this throughout the conversation.
Susie repeatedly tells Dr. Donna that she has no time to find a boyfriend, and that she has no energy after stressful days at work. These statements indicate that she is generally very tired after work.
This statement is true. Dr. Donna asks Susie if she has a "partner", which in this context refers to a boyfriend or girlfriend. Susie replies that she doesn't, and that she doesn't have time to meet anyone.

Fill in the blanks below with appropriate terms from the dialogue you have just heard. Remember to conjugate any verbs correctly:

This verb means to be sexually unfaithful. "I decided to separate from my girlfriend when I discovered she was on me."

This adjective is used to describe someone who is unmarried. "My brother has been married twice, but I'm still ."
Fill in the blanks below with appropriate terms from the dialogue you have just heard. Remember to conjugate any verbs correctly:

This verb means to be sexually unfaithful. "I decided to separate from my girlfriend when I discovered she was cheating 1 on me."

This adjective is used to describe someone who is unmarried. "My brother has been married twice, but I'm still single 2."
1 cheating: This is correct. "To cheat (on someone)" means to be unfaithful in a relationship. The shopkeeper asks Brian, "Got a girlfriend who's cheating on you?" In other contexts, "to cheat (at something)" is to use deception or obtain unfair advantage by trickery. Example: "Jules is very good at poker, but he does cheat occasionally".
2 single: This is correct. To be "single" is to be "unmarried" or "without a partner". Example: "I hate being single. I feel so lonely". Note the nuance in meaning between being "single" in an official sense (=unmarried) and in a social context (=without a partner, without a boyfriend or girlfriend).

1 Jean: "Jean" is the appropriate first name to enter here. Sometimes this part of a person's name is referred to as their "Christian name". Example: "The president doesn't like people calling him by his first name".
1 Marron: This is incorrect. This is Jean's "last name" or "surname". This is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
1 Jean Marron: This is incorrect. This is Jean's "full name", not his "first name".
1 Marron, Jean: This is incorrect. We looking for Jean's "first name" (Jean), not a variant of his "full name". Note that Jean's "full name" is usually written as "Jean Marron", not "Marron, Jean".
2 Marron: "Marron" is the appropriate part of Jean's name to enter here. This is his "last name" or "surname".
2 Jean: This is incorrect. This is Jean's "first name" or "Christian name". This is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
2 Frenchie: This is incorrect. "Frenchie" might be Jean's "nickname", but certainly not his "last name" or "surname".
2 My mother's name was Pineau: This is incorrect. "Pineau" may be Jean's mother's "maiden name" but not his last name. A "maiden name" is the surname of a woman before she marries (and takes the surname of her husband).
3 Male: This is correct. In answer to the question "what is your sex?" there are two answers, "male" or "female", and sometimes "neuter" if you speak German, or have been castrated. Jean is a "man" so his sex is "male". The term "male" is often used as a neutral term in statistics to refer to "men".
3 Man: This is incorrect. Jean is a "man" but his sex is "male". "Male" emphasises the physical or sexual characteristics of a man.
3 Medium: This is incorrect. "Medium" would refer to Jean's "size". It is not common practice to ask about the "size" of one's sexual organs on these kind of forms. Being a virile Frenchman, it is not uncommon for Jean to think with an organ other than his brain, although this is not the time or place!
3 Yes please!: Unfortunately, this purpose of this question is not to measure Jean's desire to have sex, but to determine his gender. Being a virile Frenchman, it is not uncommon for Jean to think with an organ other than his brain, although this is not the time or place!
4 Single: This is correct. "Single" describes being "unmarried" or sometimes "without a partner", for example: It was difficult to look after her children because she was a single mother. "Relationship status" is similar to "marital status" although it is less official, both terms look at the condition of being married or unmarried, and if someone has a partner.
4 Happy: This is incorrect. Although Jean is mostly a happy person, his "relationship status" does not describe his state of mind, but whether he has a partner, is single, or married.
4 French: This is incorrect. One's "relationship status" is not equivalent to one's "nationality". Jean's nationality is "French", but his "relationship status" describes if he has a partner or is married.
4 IT support officer: This is incorrect. One's "relationship status" is not equivalent to one's "job status". Jean's job is "IT support officer" ("IT" stands for "information technology"), however this has nothing to do with his "relationship status".
5 Birthday: This is correct. A "birthday" refers to the date of one's birth, and is also synonymous with the term "date of birth". Example: Luna shares the same birthday as Brigitte Bardot.
5 Anniversary: This is incorrect. An "anniversary" is a date which commemorates an event: a wedding, a death, the opening of a store, etc. Since there is no other information given , this date must refer to Jean's "birthday".
5 Born the: This is incorrect. "Born the..." is never used as a term to indicate one's "birthday" or "date of birth".
5 Place of Birth: This is incorrect. Don't confuse "place of birth" with "birthday" (or "date of birth"). Jean's "place of birth" is either a town or a hospital: in his case "Nantes" in France.
6 Height: This is correct. This measurement is Jean's "height" (in metres and centimetres): how "tall" he is, or the distance between his feet and the top of his head.
6 Size: This is incorrect. "Size" generally refers to the physical dimensions of something. It does not accurately describe the distance between the feet and the top of the head. It can describe the dimensions of clothing (ex: I have a European size 44 shoe) or how big something is (ex: the cat is the size of a small lion).
6 High: This is incorrect. This is the incorrect form to use here. As a noun, "high" can be used to describe the highest point, for example: This month saw a record high in sales of Delavigne's perfumes.
6 Tall: This is the incorrect form to use here. "Tall" is most used as an adjective to mean "having a large height", for example: Philip doesn't like to date tall women, because they make him look small.
7 Weight: This is correct. This measurement is Jean's "weight" (in kilos and grammes): how "heavy" he is, or the quantity of his mass.
7 Weigh: This is incorrect. To "weigh" is the verb form, which doesn't make sense in this context. Jean "weighs" 68kg, but his "weight" is 68kg.
7 Weigth: This is incorrect. Note the correct spelling of "weight".
7 Kilo: This is incorrect. It is not normal to refer to someone's "kilo" when talking about how heavy they are.
8 Star sign: This is correct. Jean's "star sign" is Aquarius, as he was born on 30 January. We can also use the terms "astrological sign" or "zodiac sign". "Aquarius" is an Air sign, equivalent to the Tiger in the Chinese zodiac. This makes Jean ideally suited to working with computers and playing brass musical instruments, like the trombone.
8 Favorite drink: This is incorrect. As far as I know, there is no drink called the Aquarius. If there was one, it would be a grapefruit-flavoured sports drink.
8 Hometown: This is incorrect. As far as I know, there is no town called Aquarius. If there was one, it would full of hippies smoking pot, and pretending they were living in the 60s.
8 Favorite sexual position: This is incorrect. As far as I know, there is no sexual position called Aquarius. If there was one, it would certainly feature a lot of foreplay and a blast off to Uranus.
9 I love eating French food!: This is correct. Usually state verbs like "to love" (and "to hate") are not used in progressive verb tenses and are followed by another verb in the gerund (ING) form.
9 I enjoy to eat French food!: This is incorrect. The verb "to enjoy" is never followed by another verb in the full infinitive (with "to") and is only followed by a verb in the gerund (ING) form. Example: I enjoy beating the English at tennis.
9 I'm loving French food!: This is incorrect. While the progressive form is gradually being used in state verbs (like "to love"), it is still considered to be unacceptable in written English. Unfortunately companies like McDonalds make it hard for English teachers to maintain this rule, especially when they introduce advertising slogans like "I'm lovin" it'... urrghh!
9 To enjoy French food!: This is incorrect. When listing interests the gerund can be used, but never the full infinitive at the start of a sentence. Example: -What are your main hobbies? -Playing volleyball with my friends at the gym, eating hotdogs, walking the streets at night...
10 Surfing the internet for girls!: This is the correct answer. When listing interests and activities, the gerund (ING) form of the verb is often used. For example: Eating too many hamburgers was the cause of my health problems.
10 I surfing on the internet for beautiful women!: This is incorrect. To form the present progressive tense, an auxiliary verb is needed. In this case, however, it would be more correct to use the present simple tense (to describe habitual actions) or the gerund form (to describe activities).
10 To surf the internet to see lovely women!: This is incorrect. When describing interests and activities it is uncommon to use the full infinitive form, and the gerund is used more often.
10 Wow! The internet, he is great to see girls!: This is incorrect. Since the "internet" takes a neutral genre in English (as for objects and animals etc), "it" is used as a pronoun rather than "he". Example: I love my cat, it is very friendly.

Select the TRUE statement(s) from the list below, according to Edward's advert.

There may be more than one correct answer!
Select the TRUE statement(s) from the list below, according to Edward's advert.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is a false statement. Edward tells us that he "already live(s) in a studio apartment in the city", meaning that he already has a home in San Francisco, but is looking for a nicer, bigger one!
This is a false statement. Edward writes that he is "single". In this context, "single" means unmarried, or without a romantic partner. Edward does not have a "wife". Example: "Please will you introduce me to some of your single friends? I'm lonely".
This statement is false. Edward describes himself as "clean and tidy". This means that he is neat, organised, and has good levels of hygiene. He is therefore the opposite of "messy".
This is the only true statement here. In his advert, Edward writes that "outside space would be a bonus". A "bonus" is an "advantage" in this context. "Outside space" is an area which is in the open air, such as a garden or yard.
