Fill in the blanks below with terms from Susie's email. Use the hints to help you.

This verb means to "think" in Susie's email, but is often associated with god, religion and faith. "I believe 1 I can fly. Let me show you."
This verb means to "appoint", "designate" or "task". It is often used to describe "giving somebody a mission". "Bruno's job is to assign 2 projects to his staff."

Choose the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer!
Choose the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is true. Polly asks Jean if he is still in San Francisco, and Jean replies "I think so", meaning he believes he is still in San Francisco.
This statement is false. Polly says that Jean has been "lost for eight hours". However, Jean specifically says that he "left his apartment and became lost". This indicates that Jean became lost immediately after leaving his apartment. Polly actually says "we haven't seen you at the office today".
This statement is false. Jean mistakenly tells Polly that he is in a "téléphonique cabine". Polly corrects him by saying "a telephone booth". A phone booth is a public phone located within a city or town. Calls can be made by paying with coins, cash or sometimes even credit cards. "Cell phones" and phone booths are not the same!
练习 3
"I swear I don't have any money" --> I that I don't have any money.
"I swear I don't have any money" --> I promise that I don't have any money.
promise: "To swear" has two primary meanings and several idiomatic ones. The first is "to promise" something. In this case, Kevin "swears that he doesn't have any money", which means that he promises he is telling the truth when he tells the man that he doesn't have any money. "To swear" can also mean to "curse" or to speak with bad language. Kevin's expression "I swear I don't have any money" means "I promise (that) I don't have any money".
believe: "To swear" and "to believe" express different ideas. "To swear" in this context means to "promise", whereas "to believe" is synonymous with "to think". Kevin is not expressing his opinion here, he is promising that he has no money.
told you: "To swear" and "to tell" express different ideas. "To swear" in this context means to "promise". Kevin is not expressing that he has already told the man that he doesn't have any money. Kevin is "promising" that he has no money.
insist: "To swear" and "to insist" express different ideas. "To swear" in this context means to "promise", whereas "to insist" is emphasize or reiterate something.
练习 4
Harold asks the audience to stick with him. In this context, Harold wants the audience to .
Harold asks the audience to stick with him. In this context, Harold wants the audience to continue to listen to him.
continue to listen to him: This is the correct answer. To "stick with someone" means to "stay" or to "continue" to be with them. Here's another example: "This young man is promising: if we stick with him, he may be successful in the future". To "stick with someone" has connotations of perseverance and "not giving up on someone".
believe everything he says: This is not the right answer. To "believe everything someone says" is not to question what they tell you, which is unrelated to "sticking with someone".
join his company: This is incorrect. To "stick with someone" does not mean "to start to work with or for them".
ask appropriate questions: This is incorrect. To "stick with someone" does not mean "to question someone".
练习 5
"I hope you will give serious thought to these proposals."

"To give thought (to something)" is to it.
"I hope you will give serious thought to these proposals."

"To give thought (to something)" is to consider it.
consider: This is the correct answer. "To give (serious) thought to (a matter)" is to consider it strongly. Example: I have given a lot of thought to your marriage proposal, and my answer is "no". In the email, Ursula wants Bruno to think (strongly) about her ideas concerning the environmental strategy.
believe in: This is incorrect. "To believe (in an idea)" is to have faith in it, or have a strong conviction that it is good. Example: I really believe in having fruit for breakfast, it is a great start to the day!
take action on: This is incorrect. "To take action (on a problem)" is "to act" on it, or "to take measures" on it. Example: Before you have serious financial problems, you must take action on reducing your debt.
give an opinion on: This is incorrect. "To give thought to" and "to give an opinion on" do not share the same meaning.
