练习 1
"So Mr. Marron would you be interested in testing the Frantastiques solution?"

Select the following statements that use the adjective "interested" correctly.

There may be more than one correct answer!
"So Mr. Marron would you be interested in testing the Frantastiques solution?"

Select the following statements that use the adjective "interested" correctly.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is correct. "To be interested (to do something)" is to be "curious" or "attentive". Example: Bruno was interested to hear what Icarus had to say about the financial situation.
This statement is incorrect. The adjective "interested" is only followed by the prepositions "in" and "by", and never "about". Instead, we might say: "I'm curious about this new phenomenon called the Internet".
This is correct. The adjective "interested" is followed by "in" or "by". Example: I was interested by what you said, so I did some research of my own. Note that the construction "to be interested by" is followed by a noun.
This is correct. You can be "interested in (something)" or "interested in (doing something)". This means you are "thinking of" doing something, or you are "considering" doing it. In the dialogue, Quentin wants to know if Jean would consider testing the teaching product.
This statement is incorrect. The adjective "interesting" should be used in this sentence. "Interesting" means "holding the attention", for example: She has a very interesting face, it makes me want to look at her for a long time. On the other hand, "interested" means "showing concern", for example: The room is full of interested people who want to hear what you have to say.
练习 2
It's time to construct some sentences! Below are the beginnings for three different business letters. Select the most appropriate expression to fill each blank.

" our recent interview, that . Congratulations and welcome to the team!"

" the current ban on air travel, that . Let's arrange a later date."

" our customer information project, that . We are doing our bit to help the environment."
It's time to construct some sentences! Below are the beginnings for three different business letters. Select the most appropriate expression to fill each blank.

"Following 1 our recent interview, I am pleased to tell you 2 that your application has been accepted 3. Congratulations and welcome to the team!"

"Given 4 the current ban on air travel, it is my unfortunate task to inform you 5 that I will not be able to attend our scheduled meeting 6. Let's arrange a later date."

"As part of 7 our customer information project, you may be interested to know 8 that our company is actively reducing our carbon footprint. 9. We are doing our bit to help the environment."
1 Following: "Following" is the best choice here. This term is often used to begin formal letters, and generally refers to a past event such as a meeting or interview. Example: "Following changes to your bank account, you will now be able to withdraw cash when travelling abroad".
1 As part of: The expression "as part of" does not make sense in this context.
2 I am pleased to tell you: "I am pleased to tell you" makes the most sense here. We use this expression when we have some pleasant or happy news to give to our correspondent. Example: "I am pleased to tell you that your offer of £1.5m for the house has been accepted".
2 it is my unfortunate task to inform you: This construction does not make sense here, since the following sentence is congratulatory, and this expression is only used to announce bad news.
3 your application has been accepted: This is the best choice here. Because the writer goes on to "congratulate" the other correspondent, we can deduce that the application has been accepted and successful. The recipient of this letter is being offered a job.
3 your profile does not match what we are looking for: This does not make sense here, since the writer goes on to congratulate the recipient. Their application has not been rejected.
4 Given: "Given" is the best choice here. This term shares a similar meaning with "due to" or "considering" and is used to introduce a cause and effect construction. Example: "Given that she is 8 months pregnant, Julie will not be able to attend the football match".
4 In reply to: It does not make sense to use this construction here: we cannot "reply to a situation" in this context.
5 it is my unfortunate task to inform you: This is the best choice here. We use this construction as an introduction when we need to announce some bad news to our correspondent. Example: "It is my unfortunate task to inform you that your husband has been lost at sea".
5 I am pleased to inform you that: This expression is used to introduce positive or happy news, and does not make sense in this context.
6 I will not be able to attend our scheduled meeting: This is the best choice here, as the writer is explaining that they cannot be present at the arranged meeting. This expression is often used in a business context when one has to cancel or postpone a meeting.
6 your application has been successful: It does not make sense to use this construction here, since there is no application involved in this sentence.
7 As part of: This is the best choice here. The writer is explaining that it is the "customer information project" which is leading them to give out this information. Another example of this expression in use: "As part of ongoing reforms, it is now illegal to remove dogs" tails in Britain'.
7 In spite of: The term "in spite of" shares a similar meaning with "despite" or "notwithstanding". It is used to introduce contrast in a sentence, and does not make sense here.
8 you may be interested to know: This is the best choice here. This expression is used when giving someone information which they might find important or relevant. Example: "You may be interested to know that I'm going on holiday to Cornwall this summer".
8 it is none of your business: This statement is very informal and impolite and has no place in a business letter.
9 our company is actively reducing our carbon footprint.: This is the best choice to complete this sentence. The expression "carbon footprint" describes the damage done to the environment by a person or company. This can be calculated by looking at their transport habits, production methods, consumption levels, etc.
9 our carbon emissions have increased this year.: This is incorrect. This is no way of "helping the environment".
