1 make: 'To make an observation' is an expression formed with the verb 'to make'. We use the infinitive form of the verb here (without 'to') because it follows the auxiliary 'can' ('Can I make...' is the interrogative form). 'To make an observation' is to make a remark about or express a thought on a topic. In English, there is no definitive rule for determining whether a construction uses 'make' or 'do'. In general, 'do' is used for tasks or chores and 'make' for creations. These constructions simply need to be memorized!
2 make: 'To make a fool of (someone, oneself)' is to embarrass or humiliate (someone or oneself). The expression is formed with the verb 'to make'. Susie is informing Philip that he will surely embarrass himself by making the observation he wants to make. We use the infinitive form of the verb 'to make' (without 'to') following the auxiliary 'will'. 'You'll make a fool of yourself' uses a verb in the simple future tense. In English, there is no definitive rule for determining whether a construction uses 'make' or 'do'. In general, 'do' is used for tasks or chores and 'make' for creations. These constructions simply need to be memorized!
3 done: In English, one 'does research'. In this construction, we use the past participle of the verb 'to do' (done), forming the present perfect tense. The auxiliary 'have' which precedes the verb indicates the use of the present perfect. We use the present perfect tense to indicate an action which took place at an unspecified time in the past. In English, there is no definitive rule for determining whether a construction uses 'make' or 'do'. In general, 'do' is used for tasks or chores and 'make' for creations. These constructions simply need to be memorized!
4 do: In English, we 'do a favor', not 'make a favor'. 'To do someone a favor' is to provide a service for them or help them in some way. Here Susie sarcastically requests that Philip performs the service of leaving her office, because she is angry with him. Here, 'do' is the imperative form of the verb 'to do'. The imperative form of all verbs is simply the infinitive form (without 'to'). In English, there is no definitive rule for determining whether a construction uses 'make' or 'do'. In general, 'do' is used for tasks or chores and 'make' for creations. These constructions simply need to be memorized!
Esercizio 2
Bruno wants Horatio to Giuseppe.
Bruno wants Horatio to track Giuseppe.
track: This is the correct choice. To "track (an animal or a person)" means to follow them, usually using clues (smell, footprints etc.) For example: the sheriff tracked the outlaws all the way to the Mexican border. To "track" shares a similar meaning with "hunt" as it is used in this dialogue. Bruno wants Horatio to "track" Giuseppe when he says, "Go now Horatio. Find Giuseppe, and hunt well, my friend".
kill: Bruno does not want Horatio to "kill" Giuseppe. The term "to hunt" means to follow for the purpose of killing or capturing an animal. The term can be used for "tracking" or "chasing" animals, but it does not necessarily mean that they will be "killed".
research: This is not the best choice. Bruno does not want Horatio to "research" Giuseppe. The term "research" means to collect information about a person or subject. For example: I went to the library to do some research on Napoleon. This term does not express the same meaning as "hunt" or "track".
adopt: This is not the best choice. Bruno never suggests that Horatio "adopt" Giuseppe. Horatio does say, "I know this monkey like he is my son" but this does not indicate that Bruno wants Horatio to legally make Giuseppe his son.
Esercizio 3
What is a "technological breakthrough"?
What is a "technological breakthrough"?
This is not the best choice here. A "new investment" involves devoting time or money to something. This does not share a similar meaning with "breakthrough".
This is not the best choice here. "Relevant research" is pertinent investigations or studies. This does not share a similar meaning with "breakthrough".
A "(technological) breakthrough" is a major advance or some important progress. Here, we hear about scientific developments, but the term "breakthrough" can also be used in other contexts. For example: "Signing a deal with Warbuckle's Department Stores was a great breakthrough for the Delavigne Corporation". Literally, "to break through" something is to "penetrate" or "cross through" it.
This is not the best choice here. When something "increases in value", it becomes "more expensive" or "worth more money". This does not share a similar meaning with "breakthrough".

1 openings: "Openings" is the best term to complete this sentence. An "opening (at a company)" is a "vacancy" or "opportunity". In other words, there are positions available in the administrative department of this company. In the radio programme, Jason talks about "a wide variety of openings" in South Australia at the moment, meaning that there are lots of different positions available.
1 earnings: This is not the right answer. "Earnings" are the money you "earn" or "make", usually by working at a job. "Earnings" has a similar meaning to "salary" or "wages", and does not make sense here.
1 surf instructors: This is not the right answer. A "surf instructor" is someone who teaches you how to surf (with a board and a wetsuit in the sea!). It does not make sense to put a job title here.
1 livings: This is not the right answer. To "do something for a living" is to do it professionally, as a job, in order to support yourself financially. This does not make grammatical or logical sense here!
2 earn: "Earn" is the correct answer here. We "earn money" at work. Example: "I don't know exactly how much money my wife earns, but it's a lot!". Note that the term "earn" rhymes with "turn".
2 win: This is incorrect. We can "win money" in a competition or lottery, but not by doing a job.
2 work: To "work" is to "labour", for example at a job. This does not make sense here.
2 offer: To "offer (someone some money)" is to propose to give them some money. This does not make sense here.
3 holiday: "Holiday" is the term we were looking for here. A "holiday" (UK) is the same as a "vacation" (US). Both of these terms refer to time away from work or school, spent resting on a beach for example. Example: "I will be on holiday for the next two weeks. Please contact my colleague James if you need urgent assistance".
3 vacancies: This is incorrect. A "vacancy" is an "opening", an "opportunity", or an "availability". None of these terms makes sense here. Perhaps you were thinking of the American term "vacation", which means the same thing as "holiday".
3 openings: This is incorrect. An "opening (at a company)" is a "vacancy" or "opportunity". This does not make sense here.
3 business expenses: This is incorrect. "Business expenses" refers to money you spend while doing your job (lunch with a client, etc.). Usually, this money will be reimbursed by your employer.
4 looking for: This is the correct choice. In job advertisements, we often use "to look for" to describe the type of person required for a role. Examples: "The Delavigne Corporation is looking for a new salesperson to join its successful team", "We're looking for well-qualified candidates".
4 searching: This is incorrect for two reasons! Firstly, we "search FOR (something, someone)". Secondly, "to search for something" is to "hunt for" it or "thoroughly investigate or check". Example: "I've searched the whole house for my pen".
4 researching: This is not the right choice. To "research" is to "study closely" or to "conduct an academic investigation". Example: "I'm researching the effect of smoking on young men".
