There is no indication that Susie doesn't like working in her office. Susie's job requires her to travel frequently, and so she does not spend very much time in the Delavigne main office. She tells Miss Stake that some of her work simply can't be done in an office.
Miss Stake says "I just don't understand how you can get anything done when you spend most of your time flying from one vacation spot to the next". She then accuses Susie of watching movies all day. Her concern is that Susie cannot be productive or "get anything done" because she is traveling so much.
Susie actually says that when she is in Paris, she is not there to be a tourist, but rather to do her job as the director of marketing.
Susie tells Miss Stake that "there's a huge difference between watching movies and researching consumer behavior patterns". When Susie talks about "consumer behavior patterns", she is referring to the way that "consumers" or "shoppers" act in specific situations related to shopping and spending. A consumer is a shopper or buyer, a "trend" is a habit or tendency. A large part of marketing is studying consumer trends.

1 fashionable: Philip tells Kevin that the restaurant he ate at was "trendy". The term "trendy" means "fashionable" or "popular".
1 expensive: The term "trendy" is unrelated to price, but to popularity.
1 crowded: A "crowded" place is full of people, making movement difficult. The term Philip uses to describe the restaurant, "trendy", is unrelated to the number of people that were there.
1 delicious: The term Philip uses to describe the restaurant, "trendy", is unrelated to the taste of the food that is served there.
2 expensive: Kevin repeats over and over again that he thinks that the restaurant "SakeBomb" is very expensive. He uses the terms "pricey" and "costly", which are synonymous with "expensive".
2 tasty: The terms Kevin uses, "costly" and "pricey", are unrelated to "taste" or "flavor". A "tasty (meal)" is "flavorful" or "delicious".
2 overrated: The terms Kevin uses, "costly" and "pricey", are unrelated to the "rating" or "reputation" of a restaurant. An "overrated (restaurant)" is one which is not as good as people (critics, customers) say it is.

This statement is true. After Philip tells Donna that he sees women in each one of the cards she shows him, Donna says that she senses "a pattern emerging". Donna recognizes that Philip is repeatedly seeing women in the images. A pattern is a trend or motif.
Philip is describing what he sees in Donna's cards, he isn't describing his dreams to Donna. Not yet, at least.
This statement is true. Donna is showing Philip a series of images and evaluating his interpretations of them. This is called an inkblot (or Rorschach) test. It is a somewhat obsolete method of psychological evaluation. Psychologists try to determine if their patient is psychotic based on the patient's perception of the image.
A good guess, however ostriches don't particularly enjoy cards. However they do have an affinity for badminton.

This is a true statement. Brian says 'The Mission district? But that's the trendy area of San Francisco.' The term 'trendy' means 'fashionable' or 'popular', for example: Flared trousers were very popular in the '70s, and Bruno had the largest flares in his school.
This is a true statement. Hannah says that her flat is 'so bright! There are windows everywhere!' A 'bright (room)' is one that has a lot of light, or has colours which reflect a lot of light (such as white and yellow). 'Bright' can also mean 'happy' and 'cheerful', for example: I'm a primary school teacher and I love to see the bright faces of my kids every day.
This is a true statement. Hannah says that she was able to sell her old flat, but with the money she received (£250,000), she 'would have never got a place like that back in London.' This implies that wasn't able to afford a new flat in London, as the prices were too high. Eventually she was able to buy 'the flat of (her) dreams' in San Francisco.
This statement is false. Hannah says 'I could afford to buy the flat of my dreams outright. I didn't even need a mortgage!' This means that she didn't need to borrow any money to pay for her flat because she had enough money to pay for it in one single payment. A 'mortgage' is a contractual promise of security, usually property, to a creditor in exchange for a loan of money. 'Mortgages' are often requested when needing money from a bank to pay for property.
Esercizio 5
'Wendy: It's a worrying trend'. This could also be expressed as: It's a/an .
'Wendy: It's a worrying trend'. This could also be expressed as: It's a/an disturbing 1 tendency 2.
1 disturbing: 'Disturbing' is the best definition of 'worrying'. If something 'worries' us, it 'disturbs' or 'concerns' us. Here's another example: 'I've received some worrying news about your father. He's in hospital'.
1 interesting: The term 'interesting' describes something 'fascinating' or 'intriguing'. This is not the best choice here.
1 surprising: The term 'surprising' describes something 'unexpected' or 'shocking'. This is not the best choice here.
1 cautious: The term 'cautious' describes someone 'prudent' or 'who acts with great care'. This is not the best choice here.
2 tendency: 'Tendency' is the correct answer here. A 'trend' is a 'tendency', 'inclination', or 'fashion'. This term can be used to describe both serious movements ('This graph shows the trends in political values over the past year') and less serious fads ('The latest trend is orange cardigans'). Note the related adjective 'trendy', meaning 'fashionable': 'That's a very trendy hat; did you buy it recently?'.
2 habit: A 'habit' is a 'custom' or 'tradition': something we do regularly or habitually. This does not define 'trend'.
2 subject: A 'subject' is a 'topic' or 'matter'. This does not define 'trend'.
2 news: It is grammatically incorrect to say 'a news'. We have to say 'a piece a news' or 'some news'. Moreover, 'trend' does not share a similar meaning with 'trend'.
