Choose the TRUE statements from the list below.
There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is true. Badguy tells Bruno that ever since he kidnapped Bruno's monkey, he feels "close" to Bruno, meaning that he feels affection for him.
This statement is false. Dr. Badguy plans to move to the beach (with Mrs. Badguy) because of the stress of his life of crime. This will take place in the future. Badguy has not been living on a beach up until now.
This statement is true. Badguy tells Bruno that because of his fatigue and stress, he plans to move back to the old country with his wife (Mrs. Badguy) to enjoy "peace and tranquility on a beach". We can assume that he will "retire" from his life of crime.
This statement is true. Dr. Badguy tells Bruno that he no longer has the energy to continue being a "supervillain", saying that "it's very stressful" to blackmail, ransom and steal.
Exercício 2
Harold Warbuckle mentions his accountant, Bernie Siegalman.
What has Siegalman advised Warbuckle to do?
What has Siegalman advised Warbuckle to do?
Harold Warbuckle mentions his accountant, Bernie Siegalman.
What has Siegalman advised Warbuckle to do?
What has Siegalman advised Warbuckle to do?
This is an incorrect choice. To "retire" is to stop working. Bruno's accountant is not encouraging him to stop working, but rather to legally declare that he has no money. There is no indication that Warbuckle's accountant finds him "incompetent" either.
This is an incorrect choice. Warbuckle's accountant makes no mention of Bruno Delavigne whatsoever. Warbuckle actually calls Bruno "a good partner", further evidence that he has no intention of ending his partnership with him.
This is the correct choice. Warbuckle tells Bruno that his accountant says that he "should consider filing for bankruptcy". To "file for bankruptcy" is to begin the administrative process of declaring that one has no more money. This process requires legal documentation. It is never mentioned in this scene whether Warbuckle will file for personal bankruptcy or corporate bankruptcy, though it seems more likely that Warbuckle will declare personal bankruptcy, as he hasn't mentioned his company's financial situation at this point.
This is an incorrect choice. To "downsize (a business)" is to make it smaller by reducing costs, and usually includes firing personnel. This is not what Warbuckle's accountant has advised him to do.
This is an incorrect choice. There is nothing in this dialogue which suggests that Warbuckle will "hire a lawyer" and "take Bruno to court". To "take someone to court" is to take legal action against them (in order to win a cash settlement, for example). Example: My mother took my father to court in order to win custody of my brother and me. This action is also described by the verb "to sue (someone)".
Exercício 3
According to the audio, which topics were discussed in the previous negotiations between Bruno and the labor union (in the 'collective bargaining agreement')?
According to the audio, which topics were discussed in the previous negotiations between Bruno and the labor union (in the 'collective bargaining agreement')?
This is incorrect. Although the issue of working hours is exactly the kind of topic that would be discussed at a union negotiation meeting, this was not actually discussed at the previous meeting with Leonard and Bruno.
This is incorrect. Staff training (French lessons) is the main purpose of Leonard's visit, but it was not discussed at the previous meeting between Bruno and Leonard. When Leonard says 'My people want professional training, French lessons specifically', he is asking for language courses in the future.
This is incorrect. Although sports facilities (such as a company gym or a ping pong table) are reasonable topics of conversation in a union negotiation meeting, this was not discussed at the previous meeting with Leonard and Bruno.
This is correct. Bruno says to Leonard 'Last year, we approved a salary increase, a pension fund, a new health plan with the best HMO in California and even spousal benefits!' This means that in the previous negotiations Bruno had with Leonard, the Delavigne Corporation agreed to give 'spousal benefits'. 'Spousal' is an adjective which describes anything relating to a 'spouse'. A 'spouse' is a partner in marriage (a husband or wife) and one half of a 'married couple'.
This is correct. Bruno says to Leonard 'Last year, we approved a salary increase, a pension fund, a new health plan with the best HMO in California and even spousal benefits!' A 'salary' is another word for a 'wage', and a 'rise' is an 'increase'. Note that a 'wage rise' is commonly used in British English, with the American equivalent being a 'pay raise', or simply a 'raise'.
This is correct. Bruno says to Leonard 'Last year, we approved... a pension fund.' 'A pension fund' refers to a sum of money set aside by an employer for the use of the employee when he or she retires. This money generally increases in value and in many cases is accessible to the employee after they have worked for a certain amount of time. For example: Police are entitled to a generous pension after they have worked for at least 20 years.
Exercício 4
From the list below, select the sentence(s) which talk about being laid off.
From the list below, select the sentence(s) which talk about being laid off.
The verb "to quit" does not mean the same thing as "to be laid off". In the radio broadcast, Janine says "quitting your job and being fired from your job are two very different things". To "quit" your job is to choose to leave it. Example: "Lucy quit her job in order to travel round the world on a motorbike".
"To retire" is to leave one's job because one is old, or old enough to receive a pension! Example: "When I retire, I want to live by the sea".
This is a good choice. To be "fired" is to be "laid off": to lose one's job against one's will. Here's another example: "I'm going to fire you if your work doesn't improve, young man!".
This sentence uses "sacked", which shares a similar meaning with "laid off", in British English. Let's look at another example: "The Queen sacked her private secretary because she found him looking in her knicker drawer".

Let's find some interesting vocabulary! Complete the phrases below with terms you heard in the dialogue.
This term means to "be owed" something, or to "have a right to" something. "I am entitled 1 to at least two weeks" holiday! I haven't had a break in 1452 days. I'm not a donkey!

1 entitled: This is the correct answer here. To be "entitled" to something means that we have the "right" to something. another example: After the divorce, the judge declared that my husband was entitled to visitation rights to our pet rabbits. I was furious!'
2 senior citizens: This is the right answer. It's also the most polite way of referring to people over the age of 65.
3 pension plan: This is the correct answer. A "pension plan" is a savings scheme. Most European countries give state pensions to their citizens. However, these are often quite low amounts of money and so many people choose to have a "private pension plan" so they avoid financial difficulty when they are older and no longer have a regular income. In the US, almost all workers have a private pension plan because the money provided by the government is not enough to live on.
4 retirement: This is correct. "Retirement" is the period of your life where you put your feet up by the fire, start knitting, always get a seat on the bus, buy a camper van, worry about your bowels or learn to play golf! We've all got a lot to look forward to!
