Check all the TRUE statements from the list below.

There may be more than one correct answer! Check all the answers which apply.
Mick tells Bruno that his "assistant recently accepted a better offer at a marmalade factory". He means that his assistant took a job which likely paid more than her position at Delavigne Australia.
Towards the end of the dialogue, Bruno says to Mick: "I'm sure you'll recover quickly". In this context, "to recover" is synonymous with "to re-establish good business" or "to improve the general situation". The verb "to recover" is versatile in English: it can refer to someone who is recuperating from an illness, or it can express the sense of "regaining a former condition". "You'll recover" means "you'll get better" or "your situation will improve".
This statement is false. We know that Bruno has been to Australia because Mick brings back a boomerang from "the last time (Bruno) visited"
This statement is false. Bruno tells Mick: "I know that you have a solid staff working with you. You hand-picked most of them personally." Bruno is confirming that Mick "chose", "recruited" or "hired" most of his staff personally. "To hand-pick an employee" is to recruit and select them personally.
练习 2
Polly writes that "Horatio has recovered our monkey".
In this context, this means:
Polly writes that "Horatio has recovered our monkey".
In this context, this means:
To "heal" someone means to "take care of their injury" or "bring them back to a state of good health". Example: The wound "healed" by itself, without any medication. Giuseppe was kidnapped, and Horatio found him and brought him back, which indicates that Horatio "recovered" Giuseppe, not that he "healed" the monkey. It is true that the verb "to recover" can indicate this sense of "medical improvement" in another context, and in the active voice.
This is not the best choice. To "comfort" a monkey means to "help him to relax" or "calm him down". Example: The flight attendants comforted the passenger who was afraid of flying.
This is the best choice. The term "recovered" means to "get something back that has been lost" in this context. Example: We "recovered" the files that had been accidentally deleted. Note that in another context, "to recover" can mean "to feel better" or "recuperate" from an illness or injury. "To rescue" expresses a similar meaning to the verb "to recover" in this context.
This is not the best choice. "To recover" does not indicate that Horatio has put the monkey in a bag. Although a similar term, "to re-cover" can mean to cover something second time with cloth or other material. Example: We "re-covered" the two old chairs in the living room. However, this does not share the same meaning with the term "recovered" as it is used in Polly's email.

Bethany dictates a very important sentence to Philip. Complete the sentence by filling in the blanks below with the words she uses.

"If the matter is not resolved , I may to the , without to you, and this letter may be tendered in as of your to ."
Bethany dictates a very important sentence to Philip. Complete the sentence by filling in the blanks below with the words she uses.

"If the matter is not resolved within 1 four 2 business 3 days 4, I may commence 5 legal 6 proceedings 7 to recover 8 the debt 9, without further 10 notice 11 to you, and this letter may be tendered in court 12 as evidence 13 of your failure 14 to attempt 15 settlement 16."
1 within: "Within" is the correct term here. "Within" shares a similar meaning with "in" or "inside". To do something "within four days" is to do it in "under four days".
2 four: "Four" is the correct term here. Bethany says that the matter should be "resolved within four working days".
3 business: "Business" is the correct term here. The issue should be resolved "within four business days". A "business day" or "working day" is a day on which companies function. This is usually five days per week: Monday to Friday.
4 days: "Days" is the correct term here. The issue should be resolved "within four business days". A "business day" or "working day" is a day on which companies function. This is usually five days per week: Monday to Friday.
5 commence: "Commence" is the correct term here. Bethany says that Philip's company may "commence legal proceedings". To "commence" shares a similar meaning with to "begin" or to "start".
6 legal: "Legal" is the correct term here. "Legal" is an adjective derived from the term "law". "Legal proceedings" refer to action taken in a court of law.
7 proceedings: "Proceedings" is the correct term here. The term "proceedings" refers to a particular "course of action" or "measure". Here, Bethany is talking about "legal proceedings", which refers to "legal action", such as a court case to recover the money owed to the Delavigne Corporation.
8 recover: "Recover" is the correct term here. In this context, the term "to recover" means "to get back" or "to regain". Here, Bethany is talking about "recovering a debt", meaning "to collect a sum of money".
9 debt: "Debt" is the correct term here. A "debt" is something (usually money) owed to someone. Here, Bethany is talking about "recovering a debt", meaning "to collect a sum of money". Example: "I have a huge debt because I went to University".
10 further: "Further" is the correct term here. In this context, the term "further" shares a similar meaning with "more" or "additional". Bethany says that no "further notice" will be given, meaning that no additional warning will be given to the client before legal action is taken against them.
11 notice: "Notice" is the correct term here. The term "notice" shares a similar meaning with "warning" in this context. Bethany says that no "further notice" will be given to the client if payment is not remitted immediately. Example: "You must give me advance notice when you want to borrow my clothes".
12 court: "Court" is the correct term here. A "court (of law)" is the place where, among other things, trials take place to judge whether people are guilty or innocent of crimes. To "tender (a letter) in court" is to use or present it as "evidence" or "proof".
13 evidence: "Evidence" is the correct term here. The term "evidence" shares a similar meaning with "proof". It is often used in a legal context.
14 failure: "Failure" is the correct term here. A "failure (to do something)" describes an "omission" or "lack" of action. Example: "You failed to reply in time, so the offer is no longer valid". In another context, a "failure" is the opposite of a "success".
15 attempt: "Attempt" is the correct term here. "To attempt" shares a similar meaning with "to try" or "to make an effort". Here, Bethany says that the client has failed "to attempt settlement", meaning that the client hasn't tried to pay the Delavigne Corp the money they owe.
16 settlement: "Settlement" is the correct term here. In this context, a "settlement" is an "arrangement" or "satisfaction of a demand". Here, it refers to the payment of a sum of money.

1 To whom it may concern: This is the best choice here. This introduction is used in formal or official correspondence when we do not know the name or gender or even position of the person to whom we are writing.
1 Ladies and Gentlemen: This is inappropriate. The expression "ladies and gentlemen" is used when we are speaking out loud to a group of people in a formal context, most frequently at a public event. For example: "Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the stage...The Stolling Rones!". It should not be used in a written context.
1 Hello again: This is inappropriate. This address is used in spoken English, or very informal letters or emails. Philip's letter is very formal, so this is the wrong register. Secondly, the "again" in this phrase means that the writer has been in recent contact with the recipient. This is not the case here, as Philip writes: "following prolonged lack of action on your part".
1 Thanks for the email: This is inappropriate. This phrase is too informal for use in such a formal letter: the register is incorrect. Also, Philip's client has not recently sent him an email. We know this because Philip writes "following prolonged lack of action on your part". This means that the client has not contacted Philip for a long time.
2 demand for payment: This is the best choice here. A "demand for payment" is an official, formal written request that a sum of money be paid. This document can be produced in a court of law as evidence that someone has asked for payment.
2 order form: This is incorrect. An "order form" is a document used to place a request to purchase a certain product or service. This is not the purpose of Philip's letter. On the contrary, he wants to receive payment for an order which has already been delivered.
2 advertisement: This is incorrect. The term "advertisement" refers to a paid "notice" or "announcement" for publicity purposes, usually made by a company wishing to sell its products. There is no connection between this term and Philip's letter.
2 return receipt: This is incorrect. A "return receipt" is an official confirmation that a letter or package has been received. This is a way of sending a letter, and does not make sense in the context of this sentence.
3 Please find enclosed: This is the best choice here. The expression "please find enclosed" is used when sending a letter which includes other items (such as documents) in the same envelope. Example: Please find enclosed two copies of my birth certificate. For email attachments, we say "attached". Example: Please find attached a scanned copy of your contract.
3 In reference to: This is grammatically incorrect here. The sentence does not make sense if completed in this way. "In reference to (your request)" is used to call attention to a past event, item, or conversation. Example: In reference to our conversation last week, I want to tell you that the answer is "yes".
3 I give you: This is incorrect. The expression "I give you" is used when handing a physical object to somebody. It can also be used to introduce or present a person or idea, in a dramatic context. Example: "Ladies and gentlemen, I give you...The Peatles!". Neither of these contexts suits Philip's letter, so this expression is not appropriate.
3 As a result of: This is grammatically incorrect here. The sentence does not make sense if completed in this way. "As a result of" is used to introduce the cause or origin of an action.
4 total balance: This is correct. The "total balance" refers to an amount of money which remains, or still needs to be paid. In the context of the dialogue, it refers to the "rest" of the money owed to Delavigne.
4 liquid: This is incorrect. In finance, "liquid (assets)" are assets which can be easily "liquidated" or "turned into cash". In another, less specific, context, the term "liquid" describes a free-flowing substance. All elements on Earth are either "liquid", "gas", or "solid".
4 cash: This is incorrect. "Cash" is money in its solid form: coins or bank notes. Philip is not requesting that his clients pay him in "cash". They are far more likely to pay by cheque or bank transfer.
4 change: This is incorrect. "Change" is money that is returned when the sum given in payment is larger than the amount required, usually in a shop. In another context, it refers to coins of low denomination.
5 amounts to: This is the best choice here. "(The cost) amounts to (10 dollars)" is an expression used to describe the total cost of something (goods, services, etc.). It is the only choice here which makes sense in the context of this letter. Note that on its own, the term "amount" refers to a number or quantity. Example: "I require a large amount of sugar in my tea".
5 climbs to: The term "to climb" is rarely used to describe "cost". Using it here would be unnatural. Note that the verb can be used in a figurative sense to describe "rising" or "increasing" "prices", for example: "House prices have been climbing steadily for several years", "The stock climbed to $100 per share, and then split".
5 sums up: "Sum up" does not belong in this construction. The expression "to sum up" is often used in the figurative sense to describe the act of "summarising" or "giving a synopsis". For example: "Can you sum up the novel in two words or fewer?".
5 arises to: The term "to arise" is never used to describe "cost". Using it here would be unnatural. "Arise" can mean to "stand up" or "lift oneself up", but the term "rise" is more common in modern English.
6 legal: This is the best choice here. The adjective "legal" refers to "the law". For example, we talk of "legal cases", and describe something as "legal" when it is permitted by the law. This describes the type of "action" which Delavigne Corporation will take if they do not receive payment.
6 law: This is incorrect. "Law" is a noun, which is grammatically incorrect in this sentence. We need to use an adjective here, and "legal" is the adjective derived from the term "law".
6 lawyer: This is incorrect. A "lawyer" is a professional who defends clients' interests in legal issues, or in court. It is grammatically incorrect to refer to a person in this sentence. Note that a "lawyer" can also be called an "attorney" in the US, and a "solicitor" in the UK.
6 lawful: This is incorrect. The term "lawful" refers to an act which is "allowed" or "permitted" by the law. Example: "He doesn't really enjoy lawful activities". However, when we refer to a court process of the kind suggested by Philip, the expression we use is "legal action".
7 recover: "Recover" is the best choice here. In this context, the term means "to get back" or "to recuperate" the sum of money owed to the Delavigne Corporation. The verb "to recover" is often associated with a "debt", and expresses the sense of collecting money which is owed.
7 cancel: Although a debt can be "cancelled", it doesn't make sense for Philip to suggest that he will "cancel" (or "nullify") the debt owed to the Delavigne Corporation. The purpose of this letter is to "recover" or "get back" the money owed to the company.
7 sue: This is incorrect. "To sue (a person or a company)" is to take legal action against them, most often in the form of a "lawsuit". Although Philip is suggesting that the company may take legal action against the debtor, it doesn't make sense to use the term "sue" in this construction. "I may commence legal proceedings to sue the debt" makes no sense: a debt cannot be "sued".
7 pay: Philip is not suggesting that he or his company will pay any debt. The purpose of this letter is to "recover" or "get back" the money owed to the company.
8 further: This is correct. The term "further" in this context shares a similar meaning with "more" or "additional".
8 plus: This is incorrect. The term "plus" cannot be used as an adjective in this context. In different contexts, the term "plus" can be used in the following ways: "two plus two equals four", "I like cheese, plus I like biscuits", "The new buses are a great plus for the town".
8 continued: This is incorrect. The adjective "continued" describes something which happens "repeatedly", "often", or "regularly". This does not make sense in the context of the sentence.
8 farther: This is incorrect. The term "farther" is used to describe something which is "more far (away)" or "more distant". The term "farther" can only be used to refer to the physical distance of one object from another, and so it is not appropriate here.
9 court: This is correct. A "court" is a place where justice is carried out, usually in the presence of a judge.
9 justice: This is incorrect. The term "justice" refers to moral "fairness" or "legality". It is not appropriate to use an abstract noun in this context. Example: "Justice was served, and I was released from prison".
9 trial: This is incorrect. A "trial" is a process or event which takes place in a court, often to determine if a person is innocent or guilty or to settle a financial conflict. A trial can last from a few minutes to several years. Example: "Michael's trial attracted a lot of attention".
9 proof: This is incorrect. "Proof" shares a similar meaning with "evidence", and does not make sense in this context. Example: "We need proof before we can arrest the suspected murderer".
10 Yours faithfully: This is the best choice here. This expression is used to conclude a formal letter or email, usually to a person who we do not know. Philip's letter fits both of these criteria, so this is the appropriate ending.
10 Ever yours: This is inappropriate. The expression "ever yours" is an "old-fashioned" or "out-dated" way of ending a romantic letter to a lover. Philip is not his client's lover, so this expression is inappropriate in this context.
10 Best wishes: This is incorrect. The expression "best wishes" is used to conclude informal letters or emails to family or friends. Philip's letter is too formal in tone for this expression to be appropriate.
10 Goodbye: This is incorrect. The term "goodbye" is generally used in spoken English. It can, however, also be used to conclude informal letters or emails to family or friends. Philip's letter is too formal in tone for this expression to be appropriate.

There are some useful verbs in the text! Do you know what they mean?

"Jean and I have managed to recover all of our data". --> We managed to the data.

"You might also have come across an email with the subject...". --> You may have this email.

"You can go ahead and ignore that email." --> You can and the email.
There are some useful verbs in the text! Do you know what they mean?

"Jean and I have managed to recover all of our data". --> We managed to preserve 1 the data.

"You might also have come across an email with the subject...". --> You may have found 2 this email.

"You can go ahead and ignore that email." --> You can proceed 3 and disregard 4 the email.
1 preserve: This is the right answer. "To preseve" and "to recover" are synonymous in this context: Both terms indicate that data was "found" and "not lost". Note that in a different context, a person can also "recover" from an illness.
1 forward: This is not the right answer. "To forward (an email, a video)" means to send it on to a new person. Example: "Can you forward me the whole conversation? I want to see all the emails both of you wrote". This does not mean the same thing as "to recover".
1 send: This is not the right answer. "To send (data, an email)" is to
2 found: This is the best choice here. "To come across (a dead body)" is to find it by chance. Bob's sentence "you might have... come across an email" means "you might have found, seen or read an email".
2 deleted: This is not the correct choice. "To delete" means "to erase", or to destroy. This is not synonymous with "to come across".
2 sent: A synonym for "to send" is "to transmit" or "to post", but not "to come across".
2 missed: This is incorrect. "To miss (an important clue)" is to ignore it or be unaware of it. The term Bob uses, "to come across", actually has a nearly opposite meaning.
3 proceed: This is correct. "To go ahead" is a phrasal verbs meaning "to proceed", "to act", or "to continue". Here are some more examples: "I went ahead and ordered you a drink: I hope you don't mind!", or "Horatio decided to go ahead with the project despite Bruno's request that he stop". "Proceed" and "go ahead" are synonymous in most contexts.
3 copy it: This is not the right choice. "To copy" means "to duplicate". It is not a synonym of "to go ahead".
3 consider it: This is not the right choice. "To consider (an offer)" is "to reflect on" or "to think about" it. It is not a synonym of "to go ahead".
4 disregard: This is the correct choice. "To disregard" means the same thing as "to ignore". If we "disregard" or "ignore" something, we do not pay attention to it. For example: "I had lots of good ideas in the meeting, but my boss ignored them all. He doesn't value my opinion".
4 forward: This is not the right answer. "To forward (an email, a video)" means to send it on to a new person. Example: "Can you forward me the whole conversation? I want to see all the emails both of you wrote". This does not mean the same thing as "to ignore".
4 paste: This is incorrect. "To paste" means "to stick". This term is often used in an IT context. For example, we talk about "copying and pasting text from one page to another". This is not synonymous with "to ignore".
