Esercizio 1
Hello, you have reached the voicemail of Susan Bliss. I’m from my desk at the moment, so please leave a message. Alternatively, you can call me my cell phone. Another to reach me is by telepathy, but only my best friends know how to do that.
Hello, you have reached the voicemail of Susan Bliss. I’m away 1 from my desk at the moment, so please leave a message. Alternatively, you can call me on 2 my cell phone. Another way 3 to reach me is by telepathy, but only my best friends know how to do that.
1 away: 'To be away from one's desk' is a phrase used when an office worker is not at their usual working location. Susie may be somewhere else in the building, or out of the office entirely. When answering on behalf of a colleague, you might say 'She's away from her desk at the moment' or 'She's not at her desk right now'.
1 out: We do not say that someone is 'out from their desk' in English. However, we can say that someone is 'out of the office'.
1 not: We do not say that someone is 'not from their desk' in English. However, we can say that someone is 'not at their desk'.
2 on: In US English, we call someone 'on their cell phone' (or 'on their mobile' in UK English). This means that we telephone them using their cell phone number. Similarly, we can call someone 'on their home phone' or 'on their work number'.
2 by: We do not use the preposition 'by' in this context. However, in a more general sense, we could say 'to communicate by telephone' (or 'via telephone').
2 away: We do not generally use the word 'away' in the context of telephones in English.
3 way: 'A way' to do something means 'a method' or 'a means' of doing something, or 'an approach' to a task. For example: 'Writing all these emails from scratch seems very inefficient. There must be a better way'.
3 away: Don't confuse the adverb 'away' with the noun 'way'. For example: 'I want to fly away from here, but the only way to do that is to grow wings'.
Esercizio 2
Philip: Hey Kevin, do you want to come to Argentina with me?
Kevin: Isn’t that really from here?
Philip: Well, it’s than Mexico. But it’s nearer than India.
Kevin: What is the best to get there?
Philip: Definitely by plane.
Kevin: Sounds expensive. I’m out.
Philip: Hey Kevin, do you want to come to Argentina with me?
Kevin: Isn’t that really far 1 from here?
Philip: Well, it’s farther away 2 than Mexico. But it’s nearer than India.
Kevin: What is the best way 3 to get there?
Philip: Definitely by plane.
Kevin: Sounds expensive. I’m out.
1 far: If something is 'far from here', then it is distant, or a long way from here. For example: '-Where is London, my lord? -Very far from here, Geoffrey. We live in Cornwall. Don't think about it again.'
1 away: A place cannot be situated 'really away from' somewhere. We mostly use the words 'away from' in the context of movement. For example: 'I offered my nephew a banana, but he ran away from me'.
1 way: 'Way' is a noun, so it cannot be preceded by the adverb 'really'. 'A way' is a route, a path, or a road; or a method, a means, or an approach. For example: 'What's the best way to get to the Lost City of Atlantis?'.
2 farther away: The comparative form of 'far away' (meaning 'distant') is 'farther away' (or 'further away'). For example: 'When choosing between holiday destinations, I like to choose the one which is farther away than the others'.
2 more far: 'Far' is a short adjective, so we do not use 'more' in its comparative form. Short adjectives generally have a comparative form ending in '-er'. For example: shorter, harder, smoother.
2 more away: As a general rule, we do not say 'more away' in English. If we want to express a greater or increasing distance, we tend to use the expression 'farther away' instead.
3 way: 'The best way' means 'the best method' or 'the best route'. For example: 'The best way to find a partner in life is to be happy' (the best method); 'The best way to the supermarket from here is through the park' (the best route).
3 ways: It is correct to use the noun 'way' here. However, we cannot use the plural form 'ways', because Kevin uses the singular form of the verb, 'is'. However, he could have said 'What are the best ways to get there?'.
3 away: Don't confuse the adverb 'away' with the noun 'way'! 'Away' describes movement which becomes increasingly distant. For example, 'go away' means 'leave' or 'move farther from here'.
Esercizio 3
Complete the imaginary dialogue using terms from the conversation you just heard.

Doctor: Good Morning, Mr. Marron. How much do you ?
Jean: In France: 60 kilograms ... In The US: 130 ... on the moon: 10 kilograms.
Doctor: Wow! You're not at all. You're extremely .
Jean: Merci!
Doctor: How much water do you drink each day?
Jean: 1 or 3.8 litres.
Doctor: (choose the most appropriate question)
Jean: What's my ? 170cm. (not used in dialogue)
Complete the imaginary dialogue using terms from the conversation you just heard.

Doctor: Good Morning, Mr. Marron. How much do you weigh 1?
Jean: In France: 60 kilograms ... In The US: 130 pounds 2... on the moon: 10 kilograms.
Doctor: Wow! You're not [not done] heavy 3 at all. You're extremely [not done] light 4.
Jean: Merci!
Doctor: How much water do you drink each day?
Jean: 1 gallon 5 or 3.8 litres.
Doctor: How tall are you? 6 (choose the most appropriate question)
Jean: What's my [not done] height 7? 170cm. (not used in dialogue)
1 weigh: "How much do you weigh?" is the most common way of asking for someone's weight. In the dialogue, Philip's friend Joe "weighs 250 pounds". Note: Phonetically, "weigh" sounds exactly the same as "way"!
2 pounds: A "pound" is a unit for measuring weight. 1 pound = 0.454 kilograms. In the US, it is common to describe people's weight in pounds. Example: The average American male weighs 191 pounds.
3 heavy: If something is "heavy", it weighs a lot and is difficult to move. Example: This dead body is very heavy.
4 light: If something is "light", it weighs very little. Feathers, pieces of paper, and leaves are all light!
5 gallon: A "gallon" is a unit for measuring liquid. In the US, 1 gallon = 3.8 liters. In the dialogue, Philip says, "I need to drink a gallon of beer just to tolerate you". Philip probably isn't going to literally drink a "gallon" of beer! He is probably just using the term in an exaggerated way to mean "a lot of liquid". Another example: When I cut my finger, I lost a gallon of blood!
6 How tall are you?: "How tall are you?" is the most common way of asking for someone's height. Example: -How tall is that French guy? -Jean is 1.44 meters tall. In the dialogue, Jean incorrectly says "(Joe) must measure 5 meters!". In English, the verb "to measure" is used to talk about finding the size of something. Example: We measured the length of the bed to see if it would fit in the bedroom. "To measure" is not used to describe how tall someone is.
6 How much do you measure?: Oops! We can't use the verb "to measure" like this!
6 How high are you?: We could say "How high is that building?" or "How high is that mountain?". Unfortunately, we can only say "How high are you?" if someone has taken drugs and we want to know how intoxicated they are!
7 height: "Height" is the measurement of how tall a person is. Example: Jean is of average height.
Esercizio 4
Fill in the blanks using the most appropriate word. If you think that no additional word is required, select “–”.

As I watched Finny the Fish swim from me, I knew I was losing the best friend I would ever have. I imagined him far , in an unknown sea, starting a family. A single tear rolled my cheek. Or, at least, it would have done, if I hadn’t been underwater.
Fill in the blanks using the most appropriate word. If you think that no additional word is required, select “–”.

As I watched Finny the Fish swim away 1 from me, I knew I was losing the best friend I would ever have. I imagined him far away 2, in an unknown sea, starting a family. A single tear rolled down 3 my cheek. Or, at least, it would have done, if I hadn’t been underwater.
1 away: The adverb 'away' can be used with any verb of movement to refer to movement that gets farther from the point of origin. In this sentence, Finny the Fish began close to the speaker, then started swimming and moved farther away from the speaker. Other examples: to drive away, to fly away, to dance away, etc.
1 over: When the preposition 'over' is used with a verb of movement, it refers either to moving above something, or moving toward something. For example: 'The horse jumped over the fence' (above the fence); 'Do you want to drive over to my place tonight?' (to come to my house by car).
1 way: We cannot use the noun 'way' in this context. However, we could say: 'my husband lives a long way from me' (or 'a long way away from me').
2 away: If an object is 'far away' from another one, then there is a large distance between the two objects. For example: 'I really want to change the channel on the TV, but the remote control is so far away' (from where I am).
2 apart: We cannot describe a single person or thing as 'far apart'. The term 'apart' generally refers to two (or more) objects and describes the distance between them. For example: 'Those two rocks are very far apart. I don't think that I can jump from one to the other'.
2 –: 'Far' cannot be used on its own in this context. A person or object cannot simply be described as 'far': we would say that they are 'far away' or 'far from (something)'. However, a distance can be described as 'far', for example: '26 miles? That's so far!'.
3 down: The preposition 'down' describes movement from the top of something to the bottom of it. If a tear rolls down someone's cheek, it emerges from their eye and moves down towards the bottom of their cheek. Similar examples: to ski down a mountain, to fall down the stairs.
3 away: 'Away' describes movement which becomes increasingly far from something. This is unlikely here, because when we cry, the tears remain in contact with our cheeks. In any case, if we did describe movement that becomes farther from the cheek, we would say 'away from my cheek'.
3 –: 'To roll something' means 'to move something by rotating it along a surface'. For example: 'I rolled a stone along the ground'. A tear cannot 'roll a cheek', as this would imply that the tear causes the cheek to move. We need to describe the tear's movement along the surface of the cheek here.
