1 thick: This is correct. The word 'thick' means 'dense' and 'impenetrable' and in general is used to refer to something of high density or something solid (a thick piece of bread, a thick table). In this broadcast, Moira tells Brent that her new French boyfriend 'doesn't understand (her) thick Scottish accent'. The term 'thick' in this context is used figuratively to mean 'strong' or 'distinctive'.
2 thin: This is correct. The term 'thin' refers to something delicate and of very little density and is often used to describe small, slender people. It is often used to describe someone who is very slender, slim or light, as opposed to large or heavy person. Note that 'thin' CAN'T be used to describe an accent. To express that someone doesn't have a very strong accent we could say that their accent is 'mild' or 'light'.

1 of the right size: This is the best choice here. In this context, shoes "which fit" are shoes which are the "right size". Example: "I love my new dress but I need to lose weight before it will fit me". This usage is different from that heard in the conversation.
1 made of leather: This is incorrect. "Leather" is a material made from animal skin, which is often used to make shoes, coats, bags, belts and sofas. This is unrelated to the meaning of the term "to fit".
1 which match: This is incorrect. "(Shoes) which match" are shoes which share the same colour or design, or complement each other. Example: "I refuse to waste my time looking for matching socks in the morning. Today one of my socks is blue, and the other is yellow".
1 designed for sport: This is incorrect. In another context, the adjective "fit" can be used to describe a person who is in good physical form, but it is unrelated to the context of this question. Sports shoes or "trainers" are worn by those who practise sport.
2 capable of raising: This is the best choice here. In this context, the term "fit" is used to mean "capable", "competent" or "able". This is the same usage as in the conversation, when Bruno quotes Sigourney's article: "Bruno Delavigne is hardly fit to run a company".
2 sentenced to raise: This is incorrect. In legal terms, the verb "to sentence" means to "decide" or "determine" a punishment for a guilty party. This idea is unrelated to being "fit" to do something.
2 willing to raise: This is incorrect. The expression "to be willing (to do something)" shares a similar meaning with "consenting", "agreeing", or being "prepared" to do something. Example: "I'm willing to share my sweets with you, if you'll agree to give me some of your orange juice". This idea is unrelated to being "fit" to do something.
2 scared of raising: This is incorrect. The term "scared" shares a similar meaning with "frightened" or "afraid". This idea is unrelated to being "fit" to do something.
3 healthy: This is the best choice here. As an adjective, "fit" means "in good physical shape" or "healthy". Example: "I've decided to eat better and get fit!". This is a different usage from that in the conversation.
3 some fresh air: This is incorrect. We say that we need "some fresh air" when we are feeling too hot, tired, or if there is a bad smell. To "get some fresh air" is a form of refreshment: it is revitalising. This may be true of jogging, but the term "fresh air" is unrelated to the term "fit".
3 thinner: This is incorrect. The term "thinner" is the comparative form of "thin". It means "less fat" or "more skinny" or "more slender". This is not the same meaning as the term "fit". Although "getting fit" may involve losing weight or becoming "thinner", this is not an accurate definition of the term "fit".
3 hungry: This is incorrect. To "get hungry" is to "feel the desire to eat". Example: "I get very hungry if I don't eat for two hours". This is unrelated to the meaning of the term "fit".
Esercizio 3
With the appropriate terms used in the dialogue, describe the woman Philip is talking to!
Nationality:
Height:
Hair colour:
Philip tells the woman that he thinks she is very attractive. He describes her as:
Nationality:
Height:
Hair colour:
Philip tells the woman that he thinks she is very attractive. He describes her as:
With the appropriate terms used in the dialogue, describe the woman Philip is talking to!
Nationality: Australian 1
Height: tall 2
Hair colour: blonde 3
Philip tells the woman that he thinks she is very attractive. He describes her as: [not done] gorgeous 4
Nationality: Australian 1
Height: tall 2
Hair colour: blonde 3
Philip tells the woman that he thinks she is very attractive. He describes her as: [not done] gorgeous 4
1 Australian: "Australian" is the correct answer. In the dialogue, Philip says "are you Australian?" and the woman replies "I am", which confirms that she is indeed Australian. Australians come from Australia, which is a big country famous for kangaroos, koalas, and Kylie.
2 tall: "Tall" is the best choice here. A person's "height" refers to whether they are "tall" or "short". In the dialogue, Philip says "you're tall", meaning that the woman is not short! A useful question is "how tall are you?" to ask someone to tell you their height ("I am 6 foot 2", for example).
2 short: This is incorrect. "Short" people include children, Nicolas Sarkozy, and Tom Cruise. The woman in the dialogue is "tall", which is in fact the OPPOSITE of "short".
2 fat: This is incorrect. "Fat" people are "heavy" or "overweight". There is no suggestion in the dialogue that the woman in the dialogue is "fat". Moreover, the term "height" does not apply to a person's weight.
2 thin: This is incorrect. "Thin" people are "slim", "skinny", or "light". The dialogue does not mention whether the woman is fat, thin, or average. Moreover, the term "height" does not apply to a person's weight.
3 blonde: "Blonde" is the term we were looking for here. If you "are blonde" or "have blonde hair", then you have pale or yellow hair. Famous blondes include Marilyn Monroe and Luke Skywalker. Note that this term can also be written "blond", without the "e"!
3 red: Sorry, but the woman in the dialogue doesn't have red hair. People with red hair include Chuck Norris, Ronald McDonald, and me.
3 brown: Sorry, but the woman in the dialogue doesn't have brown hair. People with brown hair include Bruno Delavigne and Jennifer Lopez.
3 black: Sorry, but the woman in the dialogue doesn't have black hair. People with black hair include Demi Moore and Jackie Chan.
4 gorgeous: "Gorgeous" is the right answer. If someone is "gorgeous", they are very attractive, "handsome", or "beautiful". We can also describe inanimate objects as "gorgeous". Here's an example: "Your apartment is gorgeous. I wish I lived here!".
Esercizio 4
The Queen says that Kate, the woman her grandson has married, is:
The Queen says that Kate, the woman her grandson has married, is:
This is not correct: the Queen doesn't talk about whether Kate is nice or not in this speech. Maybe you confused "peasant" and "pleasant", meaning "kind" or "friendly".
This is not correct. Pippa Middleton, Kate Middleton's sister, is a very attractive young lady. However, the Queen doesn't compare the two sisters in this speech.
This is not correct: the Queen doesn't talk about the size or weight of Kate in this speech.
This is the best answer here. The Queen describes Kate, her new granddaughter-in-law, as "a peasant". "Peasant" is a term describing someone who is from a low social class, poor, or uneducated, especially one who lives in the countryside. Examples: "You eat like a peasant! You should hold your fork in your left hand!", "My grandfather was a peasant farmer who grew just enough food to feed his family".
