练习 1
Choose the statement from the list which best summarizes Kevin's email.
Choose the statement from the list which best summarizes Kevin's email.
This is not a good choice. The bike Kevin is writing about does not belong to him. It is a bike he has found outside the office building. Kevin never suggests that he is selling his bike. The bike he is referring to is an old abandoned bike on the street.
Kevin is not writing about "his own bike". The bike he is referring to is one that he has found on the street. He clearly states, "I noticed an old bicycle just outside the main entrance". He never states that the bike belongs to him.
This is not a good choice. Kevin is not writing about a bike he wants to buy. He does write about the cost of a new bicycle, but he is only comparing this cost with the price of replacement parts for the bicycle he wants to take from outside the building.
This is correct. Kevin specifically states that "it's not locked up" which means that the bike is not attached to anything with a lock. This shares a similar meaning with "unsecured".
练习 2
Select the TRUE statement(s) from the list below, according to Philip's email.

This statement is incorrect. Although Philip writes that "Smells R Us" renewed "their orders for the upcoming year", he also says that he persuaded the company to "add our line of lotions to their shelves". A "line (of cosmetics)" is a series of similar products released by the same company. The term "shelves" shares a similar meaning with stores (or shops), although it more accurately describes a flat surface used for storing or displaying objects.
This statement is incorrect. Philip writes that Icarus was "able to secure payment for the unpaid invoices." This means that "Smells R Us" guaranteed payment for their unpaid invoices, not that the payment is now partially paid. "To secure (a payment)" is to obtain or guarantee it. Example: After 33 hours of intense negotiations and fish-eating, we secured a historic business deal with the Inuits.
This is a true statement. Philip says that Icarus is "facing some prison time" which he can get "reduced to a suspended license". This means that Icarus risks going to prison, however Philip thinks that he can negotiate for Icarus to temporarily lose his driving license instead.
This statement is incorrect. Philip says that he will be able to use his "Cheeter charm" (the act of Philip Cheeter being charming) to reduce the sentence from a period in prison to a suspension of Icarus' driving license. "Cheeter Charm" is a nice name for a perfume however, you should ask Horatio Oléré to start making it.
