练习 1
Select the TRUE statement(s), according to the nsm conversation.

There may be more than one correct answer!
Select the TRUE statement(s), according to the nsm conversation.

There may be more than one correct answer!
This statement is true. Kevin writes that he has "just woken up" having slept for "18 hours" thanks to the sleeping pills (medication) which Polly advised him to buy. 18 hours is a long time to sleep: I wish I had time for that!
This is a true statement. During the conversation, Polly tells Kevin that she has found his driver's license and has "sent it by courier to Bangkok. The cost of this will be deducted from your (Kevin's) wages". This means that the price of sending the license to Thailand will be taken off Kevin's salary at the end of the month. The "delivery" of Kevin's license will be done by a courier, so it's sure to be quite expensive!
This statement is false. Polly tells Kevin that Mr Lah-Pingh will "wait for (Kevin's) release, and then the meeting can go ahead". To "go ahead" in this context is to "happen" or "take place", so the meeting has not been "cancelled": it will happen once Kevin leaves the airport!
练习 2
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".
练习 3
Let's take a look at 2 very important terms from this email.

This expression describes being "punctual" or "arriving at the correct hour".
Bruno expects everyone to be for the meeting. (2 words)

This term describes the opposite of "punctual": to arrive after a scheduled time or date.
I arrived to the meeting, and consequently I did not get any bagels.
Let's take a look at 2 very important terms from this email.

This expression describes being "punctual" or "arriving at the correct hour".
Bruno expects everyone to be on time 1 for the meeting. (2 words)

This term describes the opposite of "punctual": to arrive after a scheduled time or date.
I arrived late 2 to the meeting, and consequently I did not get any bagels.
1 on time: "To be on time (for a meeting)" is to arrive at the meeting in a punctual manner, or at the scheduled meeting time. Bruno instructs Brian to "make sure (he's) on time" for his appointment with Harold Warbuckle.
2 late: "(To arrive) late (to an appointment)" is to arrive after the scheduled time of the appointment, or after it was supposed to begin. Bruno informs Brian that he "will be running a bit late" for the meeting with Warbuckle. "To run late" or "to be running late" is to be behind schedule. For example: I am running very late because of the traffic downtown. Please start dinner without me.
