1 poor: Job "performance" is a measure or evaluation of how well an employee executes their work. "Poor performance" is work of inferior quality. Note: In English, the term "poor" is not too strong - it is commonly used to describe things that are inferior. Example: He is a poor cook (=his food is not very good).
2 punctual: If someone is "punctual", they arrive on time. Example: Brian Jones arrives at the office at 6.29am every day - he is very punctual. Philip is complaining that Doris is no longer "punctual". He could also say, "Doris's "punctuality" is poor", or that she is often late.
3 efficient: An efficient person is productive, or works quickly with a minimum of time lost. Example: Sandra is very efficient - she completes her tasks well without wasting any time. Philip thinks that Doris used to be efficient, but now she is inefficient!
4 talented: If someone is "talented", they have natural skill or ability. Example: Elkie Johns is a very talented musician and lover. Philip thinks that Doris used to be a "talented maker of coffee", which means she had a talent or skill for making coffee. Personally, I am a talented drinker of coffee!
5 overweight: An overweight person weighs more than is considered healthy or normal - they are sometimes called "obese", "heavy" or "fat" (impolite). Example: Since I stopped exercising, I have become overweight. Philip thinks that Doris is a "little bit overweight".
6 mind: The "mind" is the part of your head that thinks! If your "mind is not on the job" it means your thoughts or attention are not focused on what you are doing. You are distracted. Example: Her mind hasn't been on the job since her dog died.
7 highlighted: If something is "highlighted" it is emphasized or made prominent. Example: The rise in violent crime "highlights" the need for more police on the street. Philip thinks that Doris's "mix-up" (where she sent him the wrong file for his sales talk) highlights or underlines the fact that she is not doing her job correctly.
8 dismissed: To be "dismissed" is to be "fired", "terminated" or "to lose your job". Philip thinks that Doris deserves to lose her job for her poor job performance.
Esercizio 2
Fiona tells Philip: "You're quite an amateur". In this sentence, "an amateur" is .
Philip replies "I'm an amateur of women". In this sentence, "an amateur" means .
Philip replies "I'm an amateur of women". In this sentence, "an amateur" means .
Fiona tells Philip: "You're quite an amateur". In this sentence, "an amateur" is a novice or beginner 1.
Philip replies "I'm an amateur of women". In this sentence, "an amateur" means to be a fan or admirer 2.
Philip replies "I'm an amateur of women". In this sentence, "an amateur" means to be a fan or admirer 2.
1 a novice or beginner: In English, the term "amateur" has two meanings. The primary meaning is "a novice" or "beginner", which is what Fiona is calling Philip here. An "amateur" is the antonym of "professional", which Philip calls Fiona earlier. In English, we generally use the term amateur to describe someone inexperienced, or someone who does something for pleasure rather than professionally. Example: He's an amateur boxer, or I'm an amateur poker player. The term can also describe something not officially recognized: an amateur football club, an amateur golf tournament.
1 a fan or admirer: In a different context, an amateur is indeed a "fan", "admirer" or an "enthusiast", as in the sentence "He's an amateur of French cinema", or "she's an amateur of Shakespeare". However, when Fiona tells Philip he is an amateur, she is commenting on his lack of professionalism, or his childish attempts to seduce her.
1 a charming person: The term "amateur" doesn't refer to a charming person in this or any other context.
1 a tactless person: A "tactless" person is one who says inappropriate things, or says things at the wrong time. Although Fiona may in fact believe that Philip is tactless, this is not what she is saying when she calls him an amateur.
2 to be a fan or admirer: When Philip says that he is an "amateur" of women, he means that he is an admirer of women, or that he appreciates women. This is the secondary meaning of "amateur" in English: an enthusiast or fan.
2 to be inexperienced: In a different context, an "amateur" is a "novice" or "beginner". However Philip is not calling himself a novice here. He is stating that he appreciates women.
2 to be successful: The term "amateur" doesn't refer a successful person in this context or any another.
2 to be talented: The term "amateur" doesn't refer a talented person in this context or any another.
Esercizio 3
Jean doesn't have "the green thumb". This means that .
Literally, a thumb is .
Literally, a thumb is .
Jean doesn't have "the green thumb". This means that he is not good with plants 1.
Literally, a thumb is one of the fingers on the hand 2.
Literally, a thumb is one of the fingers on the hand 2.
1 he is not good with plants: This is the correct choice here. In America we say "I have a green thumb" to mean "I am good at gardening". Jean originally says "I really don't have the green hand", which is a literal translation from his native French, and NOT what we say in English! You might like to know that in the UK, we say "I have green fingers" if we are a good gardener!
1 he has caught a disease from his plant: This isn't the right answer. This idiom is unrelated to diseases or illnesses!
1 he doesn't have the right type of plant: This isn't the right answer. This idiom is unrelated to varieties of plants.
2 one of the fingers on the hand: This is the correct answer. Most people have two thumbs. Thumbs are like fingers, but shorter and fatter. They're very useful, especially when climbing trees or typing text messages! Many non-native speakers have difficulty pronouncing the term "thumb". It rhymes with "rum" and "come", and we do not pronounce the "b".
2 a type of plant: This is incorrect: a "thumb" is a part of the human body, not a type of plant.
2 a talent or skill: This is incorrect: a "talent" or "skill" is an ability which we have. This does not share a similar meaning with "thumb".
