练习 1
After reading the second paragraph of this email, choose the statement which best describes Kevin.
After reading the second paragraph of this email, choose the statement which best describes Kevin.
Although Kevin says that he will provide the "after dinner mints" this is not because he loves fresh breath, but rather because he does not want to pay for a dessert. Kevin says he will provide an "after dinner mint" instead.
We can tell that Kevin is "stingy" (reluctant to spend money) because he asks that Susie and Philip "stick to an appetizer and a main course" and that they only order "ice water". This is because Kevin does not want to pay for any other drinks or food. To "stick to" (an appetizer) is to "reserve or limit oneself to something". In this case, Kevin wants Susie and Philip to eat and drink a small amount, so that he can save money.
Although Kevin asks that everyone orders only "an appetizer and a main course" this is not because he doesn't eat much, but rather because he does not want to pay for any other food, such as a desserts or a cocktail.
Although Kevin asks that everyone drinks only "ice water" this is not because he loves water, but rather because he does not want to pay for drinks.
