The nurse asks Philip if he can ask a few questions. Philip never asks the nurse any questions, nor does the nurse answer any.
The nurse does say: "I've never seen a man with a stomach virus and a black eye". But this is not because Philip has a black eye, but this does not indicate that the nurse is examining Philip's eyes.
This is true. The nurse says to Philip "I'm just going to take your blood pressure". "Check" and "take" share a similar meaning in this context.
The nurse says nothing to Philip about removing his clothes.
The nurse says: "If you could step on this scale, we'll check your weight" and then tells Philip he weighs "one hundred seventy-three pounds". A "scale" is the device used to measure one's weight. The term "heavy" describes something with a lot of mass.

heavy: The term "heavy" describes an object with a lot of mass or weight, which is difficult to carry. The verb "to weigh" indicates measuring an object to determine its weight, and if an object "weighs a lot", it is heavy. Example: Moving the old desk was difficult because it was very heavy. A large gun would be "heavy" for a young person or someone not very strong.

1 height: The "height" of an object is the distance from the base to the top of it. In the audio, the Estate Agent mentions the "ceiling height" of the apartment being 14 feet. This means that distance from the floor to the ceiling is 14 feet. The "ceiling" is the upper surface of a room. A "foot" is 12 inches, or 0.3048 metres if you like precise metric figures.
2 width: The "width" of an object is the distance from one side to the other, for example: the width of my jeans has slowly gone up without my knowledge. "Width" is the noun form of the adjective "wide".
3 depth: "Depth" is the noun form of the adjective "deep". Because we are humans, we are able to perceive the world in three dimensions, and this is called "depth perception". Interesting, eh? No? Oh.
4 weight: The "weight" of an object is a measure of how heavy it is. Example: My weight increased rapidly after my boyfriend dumped me. Note the verbs most commonly associated with this noun: we "gain" (or "put on") weight = to increase weight. Or we "lose" weight = to decrease weight.

1 Jean: "Jean" is the appropriate first name to enter here. Sometimes this part of a person's name is referred to as their "Christian name". Example: "The president doesn't like people calling him by his first name".
1 Marron: This is incorrect. This is Jean's "last name" or "surname". This is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
1 Jean Marron: This is incorrect. This is Jean's "full name", not his "first name".
1 Marron, Jean: This is incorrect. We looking for Jean's "first name" (Jean), not a variant of his "full name". Note that Jean's "full name" is usually written as "Jean Marron", not "Marron, Jean".
2 Marron: "Marron" is the appropriate part of Jean's name to enter here. This is his "last name" or "surname".
2 Jean: This is incorrect. This is Jean's "first name" or "Christian name". This is not the part of the form where he should enter this part of his name.
2 Frenchie: This is incorrect. "Frenchie" might be Jean's "nickname", but certainly not his "last name" or "surname".
2 My mother's name was Pineau: This is incorrect. "Pineau" may be Jean's mother's "maiden name" but not his last name. A "maiden name" is the surname of a woman before she marries (and takes the surname of her husband).
3 Male: This is correct. In answer to the question "what is your sex?" there are two answers, "male" or "female", and sometimes "neuter" if you speak German, or have been castrated. Jean is a "man" so his sex is "male". The term "male" is often used as a neutral term in statistics to refer to "men".
3 Man: This is incorrect. Jean is a "man" but his sex is "male". "Male" emphasises the physical or sexual characteristics of a man.
3 Medium: This is incorrect. "Medium" would refer to Jean's "size". It is not common practice to ask about the "size" of one's sexual organs on these kind of forms. Being a virile Frenchman, it is not uncommon for Jean to think with an organ other than his brain, although this is not the time or place!
3 Yes please!: Unfortunately, this purpose of this question is not to measure Jean's desire to have sex, but to determine his gender. Being a virile Frenchman, it is not uncommon for Jean to think with an organ other than his brain, although this is not the time or place!
4 Single: This is correct. "Single" describes being "unmarried" or sometimes "without a partner", for example: It was difficult to look after her children because she was a single mother. "Relationship status" is similar to "marital status" although it is less official, both terms look at the condition of being married or unmarried, and if someone has a partner.
4 Happy: This is incorrect. Although Jean is mostly a happy person, his "relationship status" does not describe his state of mind, but whether he has a partner, is single, or married.
4 French: This is incorrect. One's "relationship status" is not equivalent to one's "nationality". Jean's nationality is "French", but his "relationship status" describes if he has a partner or is married.
4 IT support officer: This is incorrect. One's "relationship status" is not equivalent to one's "job status". Jean's job is "IT support officer" ("IT" stands for "information technology"), however this has nothing to do with his "relationship status".
5 Birthday: This is correct. A "birthday" refers to the date of one's birth, and is also synonymous with the term "date of birth". Example: Luna shares the same birthday as Brigitte Bardot.
5 Anniversary: This is incorrect. An "anniversary" is a date which commemorates an event: a wedding, a death, the opening of a store, etc. Since there is no other information given , this date must refer to Jean's "birthday".
5 Born the: This is incorrect. "Born the..." is never used as a term to indicate one's "birthday" or "date of birth".
5 Place of Birth: This is incorrect. Don't confuse "place of birth" with "birthday" (or "date of birth"). Jean's "place of birth" is either a town or a hospital: in his case "Nantes" in France.
6 Height: This is correct. This measurement is Jean's "height" (in metres and centimetres): how "tall" he is, or the distance between his feet and the top of his head.
6 Size: This is incorrect. "Size" generally refers to the physical dimensions of something. It does not accurately describe the distance between the feet and the top of the head. It can describe the dimensions of clothing (ex: I have a European size 44 shoe) or how big something is (ex: the cat is the size of a small lion).
6 High: This is incorrect. This is the incorrect form to use here. As a noun, "high" can be used to describe the highest point, for example: This month saw a record high in sales of Delavigne's perfumes.
6 Tall: This is the incorrect form to use here. "Tall" is most used as an adjective to mean "having a large height", for example: Philip doesn't like to date tall women, because they make him look small.
7 Weight: This is correct. This measurement is Jean's "weight" (in kilos and grammes): how "heavy" he is, or the quantity of his mass.
7 Weigh: This is incorrect. To "weigh" is the verb form, which doesn't make sense in this context. Jean "weighs" 68kg, but his "weight" is 68kg.
7 Weigth: This is incorrect. Note the correct spelling of "weight".
7 Kilo: This is incorrect. It is not normal to refer to someone's "kilo" when talking about how heavy they are.
8 Star sign: This is correct. Jean's "star sign" is Aquarius, as he was born on 30 January. We can also use the terms "astrological sign" or "zodiac sign". "Aquarius" is an Air sign, equivalent to the Tiger in the Chinese zodiac. This makes Jean ideally suited to working with computers and playing brass musical instruments, like the trombone.
8 Favorite drink: This is incorrect. As far as I know, there is no drink called the Aquarius. If there was one, it would be a grapefruit-flavoured sports drink.
8 Hometown: This is incorrect. As far as I know, there is no town called Aquarius. If there was one, it would full of hippies smoking pot, and pretending they were living in the 60s.
8 Favorite sexual position: This is incorrect. As far as I know, there is no sexual position called Aquarius. If there was one, it would certainly feature a lot of foreplay and a blast off to Uranus.
9 I love eating French food!: This is correct. Usually state verbs like "to love" (and "to hate") are not used in progressive verb tenses and are followed by another verb in the gerund (ING) form.
9 I enjoy to eat French food!: This is incorrect. The verb "to enjoy" is never followed by another verb in the full infinitive (with "to") and is only followed by a verb in the gerund (ING) form. Example: I enjoy beating the English at tennis.
9 I'm loving French food!: This is incorrect. While the progressive form is gradually being used in state verbs (like "to love"), it is still considered to be unacceptable in written English. Unfortunately companies like McDonalds make it hard for English teachers to maintain this rule, especially when they introduce advertising slogans like "I'm lovin" it'... urrghh!
9 To enjoy French food!: This is incorrect. When listing interests the gerund can be used, but never the full infinitive at the start of a sentence. Example: -What are your main hobbies? -Playing volleyball with my friends at the gym, eating hotdogs, walking the streets at night...
10 Surfing the internet for girls!: This is the correct answer. When listing interests and activities, the gerund (ING) form of the verb is often used. For example: Eating too many hamburgers was the cause of my health problems.
10 I surfing on the internet for beautiful women!: This is incorrect. To form the present progressive tense, an auxiliary verb is needed. In this case, however, it would be more correct to use the present simple tense (to describe habitual actions) or the gerund form (to describe activities).
10 To surf the internet to see lovely women!: This is incorrect. When describing interests and activities it is uncommon to use the full infinitive form, and the gerund is used more often.
10 Wow! The internet, he is great to see girls!: This is incorrect. Since the "internet" takes a neutral genre in English (as for objects and animals etc), "it" is used as a pronoun rather than "he". Example: I love my cat, it is very friendly.

1 weigh: "Weigh" is the best choice here. To "weigh" something is to see how heavy or light it is, usually with the help of scales. Note that there is a related noun: "weight". Example: "People who weigh themselves every day notice when they have gained weight".
2 spices: "Spices" is the right answer. Spices often come in powder form, and are useful in creating interesting meals. Common spices include cumin, cinnamon, paprika, cloves, and cayenne pepper. When we have added a lot of spices such as ground chili peppers to a dish, we call it "spicy" or "hot". Example: "Nutmeg is my favourite spice".
3 discerning: "Discerning" is the best answer here. In the dialogue, the shop assistant describes Jean as "a discerning shopper". This means that he knows what he wants, and can tell what products are of a high quality: his is a good judge. Another example: "I can tell you are a very discerning customer".
