Summarize Susie's email by selecting the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is false. Susie recommends that the company launch a new boxed set containing Bordello Breeze. She also writes that this set should be priced "high" (if a price is "high" then a product is expensive). However, she does not say anything about lowering the price of Bordello Breeze.
This statement is false. Susie writes that she will "work on" names for the new boxed set, which indicates that she does not yet have a name for it. "To work on (names for a product)" is to think about them, or try to create one.
This statement is true. Susie recommends that they include the three different perfumes in the same "boxed-set".

According to Kevin, what does the Delavigne Corporation want from ChinaCorp?
According to Kevin, what does the Delavigne Corporation want from ChinaCorp?
Delavigne wishes ChinaCorp to handle some of its workload, but they do not want ChinaCorp to send personnel to the company.
Nothing is said about exporting Delavigne's products. Kevin is interested in outsourcing labor to ChinaCorp, which is different than exporting products.
This is not the best choice here. "Outsourcing" does not have anything to do with exporting products, but with production or work.
At the beginning of the dialogue, Kevin tells Mrs. Lee, "we're very interested in outsourcing some of our production to you and your workers". "Outsourcing" is a process in which companies send their work to other companies instead of doing the work with their own personnel. Kevin is visiting the factory in order to outsource the production of the Delavigne Corporation.

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".
