This sentence uses "commission" correctly. If you work "on commission", you are paid according to the amount you sell. Example: Philip Cheeter is paid ON COMMISSION - he earns 10 percent of the total amount of perfumes he sells.
This sentence uses "commission" incorrectly. "To commission" implies an important official request; it is not used to talk about minor business transactions or small delivery requests like this. In this context, it would be better to say: All ORDERS made before 5pm will be delivered the next day.
This sentence uses "commission" correctly. In this context, "to commission" is to make an official request for an artist or designer to produce a piece of work. Example: Architect Sir Terrence Nutjob has been COMMISSIONED to design Delavigne's new offices in Spain. This is how the term is used in the episode when Bruno says he wants to commission a song (from Edward) that improves staff morale.

This means that:
Susie says that she has an "independent budget".
This means that:
This means that:
An "independent budget" refers to the ability to pay for business expenses without asking for permission or justification in advance. This type of budget is generally reserved for high-level executives. An "independent budget" does not include the typical restrictions of an expense account.
Having an independent budget is unrelated to working on commission, which means that one earns their money or a portion of their money, based on their performance, the company's performance or other such variables.
To "balance the books" is an expression which refers to the organization and record-keeping associated with the expenses and income of an individual or group. The task is generally done by an accountant, and involves maintaining records of the earnings and expenses of the company. Having an independent budget is unrelated to the act of balancing the books.
Susie's expression that she has an independent budget doesn't indicate that she doesn't have many large expenses, but rather that she has the freedom to spend money without approval in advance.

Jean: I want to my home from burglars please.
Vanessa: We'll a for the installation.
Vanessa: Are they in good ?
Jean: I want to my home from burglars please.
Vanessa: We'll a for the installation.

The following sentences are all taken from the telephone call. Complete them with the appropriate terms!
Jean: I want to protect 1 my home from burglars please.
Vanessa: We'll fix 2 a date 3 for the installation.
Vanessa: Are they in good condition 4?
Jean: I want to protect 1 my home from burglars please.
Vanessa: We'll fix 2 a date 3 for the installation.
Vanessa: Are they in good condition 4?
1 protect: This is the best choice here. Other ways of saying to "protect" are to "guard" or "defend". For example "To protect your dog from fleas, you should give him a bath every six months".
1 project: Incorrect. A "project" is a "plan" and "to project" means to reach out into the future. This is not what Jean said, and it doesn't make sense here.
1 prevent: Incorrect - although the meaning is close. We prevent something from happening. It means to "stop" or "avert". If we want to use this word in this context, we would say "I want to prevent burglaries from happening in my home"
2 fix: This is the correct choice. In this context "fix" means to "set up" or "arrange". This is a very common term in business and a useful one to note down: to "fix a meeting", to "fix an appointment", to "fix a time" and so on.
2 ticket: This is not the right answer. A "ticket" is a piece of paper allowing access to a concert, a train, a part etc. This was not the term used in the dialogue and it does not make sense here.
2 fit: This is not the right answer. To "fit in (with a group)" is to integrate and be accepted into a group. This was not the term used in the dialogue and it does not make sense here.
3 date: This is the right answer. As well as being a simple date in the month (June 26th, November 1st, etc.), we also use this word in romantic situations: "I have a date (a romantic meeting!) with a fireman on Saturday! I hope he's hot!". In the context of the dialogue, the "date" is a time in the future when a technician will visit Jean.
3 day: Wrong choice! "Day" and "date" sound similar, but don't get them confused! A day is "Monday", "Tuesday" etc. This is a very common mistake, so be careful!
3 rate: This is the wrong choice. "Rate" rhymes with "date", but is not the right answer here. A "rate" is a charge for a service. For example, "The water rates are very low in the countryside, but there's a good reason. If you drink the water, you could die!"
4 condition: "Condition" is the right choice. The condition of something is the "state" it is in: "new", "good", "worn", "broken" etc. For example, "The things I buy on Free-Bay.com are always in bad condition.".
4 technician: Sorry, no. A "technician" is a technical expert. Examples of technicians are a "plumber", an "electrician", an "IT specialist". It is a profession. This word is used in the dialogue, but not here.
4 commission: This is incorrect. "Commission" is the "bonus money" you get for selling something. A salesperson has a basic salary plus "commission" – a percentage on anything he or she sells. This term is not mentioned in the recording.
