练习 3
According to the dialogue, what have Edward and his companion been doing in Jamaica?

There may be more than one correct answer!
According to the dialogue, what have Edward and his companion been doing in Jamaica?

There may be more than one correct answer!
This is the correct answer. Edward says he likes "the snorkelling" during his trip. "Snorkelling" describes an activity where one swims in the water with a mask and a breathing tube (also called a "snorkel"), usually without a tank of oxygen.
This is incorrect. Edward says that there hasn't been "any reggae music" on his Jamaican trip yet. His companion tells him that she will "fix that situation right away". Reggae music is a type of popular music that originated from Jamaica; it involves dreadlocks, bass guitars and marijuana.
This is incorrect. "(To go) sightseeing" is to see famous or interesting places, usually as a tourist. Edward does not say that he has been sightseeing on his trip to Jamaica.
This is the correct answer. Edward says that he likes the "constant love-making" during his trip. "Love-making" and "having sex" are generally synonymous: the acts of sexual intercourse. Some people argue that "love-making" is more sensual: Baboons have sex, Italians make love.
This is incorrect. Drinking rum cocktails is a very common thing to do in Jamaica, but neither Edward nor his companion mention that this is what they have been doing during his trip.
