<!-- (Audio) Tom: Hey, Alice. Do you know Lisa? Alice: No, I don't think I've had the chance to meet her. Who's Lisa? -->
# --description--
When you say `I don't think I've had the chance`, you're expressing that you haven't had the opportunity or occasion to do something. It means you haven't had the possibility to experience a particular event or meet someone before. The full form of the phrase is `I do not think I have had the chance`. Example: `I don't think I've had the chance to visit the museum.` (you did not go to the museum or, at least, you don't remember having gone there).
Listen and fill in the blank.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`Tom: Hey, Alice. Do you know Lisa?`
`Alice: No, I don't think I've had the _ to meet her. Who's Lisa?`
## --blanks--
`chance`
### --feedback--
An expression similar to `opportunity` or `occasion`.

<!-- (Audio) Tom: She's a colleague with long wavy brown hair and bright brown eyes. -->
# --description--
A `colleague` is a person you work with at your job. You and your colleagues might do similar work and help each other. If you are a teacher, for instance, other teachers at your school are your `colleagues`.
# --question--
## --text--
What relationship does Tom have with Lisa?
## --answers--
She's his girlfriend
### --feedback--
There's nothing indicating that in the dialogue.
---
He doesn't know her
### --feedback--
He offers a description of Lisa to Alice, so he probably knows her.
---
They are friends
### --feedback--
That's a possibility, but Tom does not indicate that by what he's saying.
---
They are workmates

<!-- (Audio) Tom: She's a colleague with long wavy brown hair and bright brown eyes. -->
# --description--
When you describe a person physically, some of the characteristics that come to mind in the first place are related to this person's `hair` and `eyes`. This is because these characteristics stand out when we see a person. People's `hair` grows on top of their heads, and it can be different colors and lengths. People's `eyes` are the two parts of your face you use to see. You look through them to see everything around you and they can be of different colors.
Listen and fill in the blanks.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`She's a colleague with long wavy brown _ and bright brown _.`
## --blanks--
`hair`
### --feedback--
The thing that grows in strands on top of your head.
---
`eyes`
### --feedback--
The two parts of your face that help you to see the world.

<!-- (Audio) Tom: She's a colleague with long wavy brown hair and bright brown eyes. -->
# --description--
When you describe someone's hair, you usually talk about three things: color, type, and length.
Color: This is the shade of the hair. Common colors are `black`, `brown`, `blonde`, `red`, and `gray`.
Type: This describes how the hair looks and feels. Types of hair include `straight` (no curves), `wavy` (somewhat growing in curves), and `curly` (spiralling down).
Length: This tells us how long the hair is. Hair can be `short` (above the ears), `medium` (around the shoulders), or `long` (past the shoulders).
In English, however, the sequence of adjectives is important. You'll frequently describe a person's hair by first informing how long it is, then informing its type, and finally the color. For example, you might say someone has `short, curly, blonde hair`.
Now fill in the blanks with Tom's description of Lisa's hair.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`She's a colleague with _ _ _ hair and bright brown eyes.`
## --blanks--
`long`
### --feedback--
First, the size. Lisa's hair goes past her shoulders.
---
`wavy`
### --feedback--
Second, the type. Lisa's hair makes small waves as it grows.
---
`brown`
### --feedback--
Finally, the color. Lisa's hair is a shade brighter than black, neither black, nor blonde.

<!-- (Audio) Tom: She's a colleague with long wavy brown hair and bright brown eyes. -->
# --description--
When describing the color of a person's eyes, you normally identify them first by their color. Common eye colors are `black`, `brown`, `blue`, and `green`. Depending on the color if can have a tendency to `white` or to `black` (the color itself is stronger or weaker). In this case, you can add the words `light` (tending to `white`) and `dark` (tending to `black`) before the color to express it. Another characteristic that you normally use to identify another person's eyes is the shape - `round` when it is more like a circle and `narrow` when it is more similar to a line. Finally, you can refer to them in terms of their size, `large` (when they are big) or `small` (when they are not). Tom also expresses an opinion, saying Lisa's eyes are full of energy and vitality. In this case, you say one's eyes is `bright`.
As you do with `hair`, the adjectives to identify a person's eyes also follow an order in English. First, you express this opinion, then move on to the size, then the shape and finally the color (preceded or not by `light` or `dark`).
Example: `Tom has beautiful, small, narrow, light green eyes.`
Now listen and fill in the blanks with Tom's description of Lisa's eyes.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`She's a colleague with long wavy brown hair and _ _ eyes.`
## --blanks--
`bright`
### --feedback--
Tom expresses an opinion first. He says Lisa's eyes are full of energy.
---
`brown`
### --feedback--
Tom finally talks about Lisa's eye color. It is a shade close to `black`, and neither `blue` nor `green`.

## --text--
How does Tom describe Lisa's eyes?
## --answers--
`She has eyes bright brown.`

---
`She has bright brown eyes.`
---
`She has brown eyes bright.`
### --feedback--
The adjective `bright` is after the noun it qualifies. It should go before it.
---
`She has brown bright eyes.`

# --description--
In English, when you describe another person to someone else, it is also common to refer to their clothes. As they change according to the day, you normally use a combination of the verb `to be` and another verb in the `-ing` form, the verb `to wear`, to refer to what the clothes the person has on their body at that moment. Example: `He's wearing jeans and a T-shirt.`

# --description--
When talking about a person's clothes, it is common to refer to them by mentioning their size and color. Let's take a look at some colors in this challenge.
`Beige` is a color similar that of sand on a tropical beach or a very light brown paper.
`Black` is the darkest color. It looks like the sky at night when it's very dark and there are no lights. You can also hear people refer to `black` as the absence of colors. It is the opposite of `white`, which is referred to as the combination of all colors.
`Green` is the color of many plants and leaves. It looks like the color of grass in a park or the leaves on trees.
Listen to the audio and fill in the blanks.

# --description--
Now it's time to introduce some pieces of clothing in English. In this lesson, Tom mentions two pieces that you normally wear on the upper part of your body.
A `jacket` is a piece of clothing you wear over your other clothes to keep warm or dry. It usually has long sleeves and a zipper or buttons in the front.
A `shirt` is a piece of clothing that covers your upper body. It can have short or long sleeves and usually buttons or a collar. You wear it under a jacket or on its own. Do not confuse it with a `T-shirt`, which is normally more informal and has no buttons on.

<!-- (Audio) Alice: Oh, I think I saw her. What does she do on the team? -->
# --description--
It's important to make a distinction between actions described in the `Simple Present` tense and those described in the `Present Continuous` tense. If you say `I work as a developer` (`Simple Present`), you want to inform the other person that this is your occupation. If you say `I am working on a project` (`Present Continuous`), you are informing the person what your current task or activity is.
In a question, you make this distinction by asking `What do you do?` (`Simple Present`, used to ask about a person's career or occupation) or `What are you doing?` (`Present Continuous`, used to ask about the other person's current activity). When referring to another person, use `What does he/she do?` or `What do they do?` (more general and avoids determining a gender to the other person) to know about another person's job and `What is he/she doing?` or `What are they doing?` to know about another person's activity at the moment.
# --question--
## --text--
Based on the explanation, what does Alice want to know about Lisa?
## --answers--
She wants to know if Lisa is married
### --feedback--
Lisa's marital status has nothing to do with Alice's question.
---
She wants to know what Alice is doing at the moment.
### --feedback--
If that was the case, she would use `What is he/she doing?` or `What are they doing?` instead.
---
She wants to know if Lisa is part of the team
### --feedback--
Even though the team is mentioned, that's not what Alice is asking about.
---
She wants to know Lisa's role in the team, what her job is

`UX (User Experience)` is about how easy and enjoyable it is to use something like a website or an app. It focuses on making sure everything works well and feels nice to use.
`UI (User Interface)` has to do with how things on a website or app look and where you find them. It includes the buttons you click, the colors, and the layout. It's about making sure everything looks good and is easy to find.
If you are a `UX designer`, a `UI designer`, or a `UX/UI designer`, you are the person responsible for making websites and apps easy to use and look nice.
Listen to the sentences and fill in the blanks.

<!-- (Audio) Tom: She's a UX/UI designer. She's really creative. -->
# --description--
A `creative` person is someone who likes to make new things or think of new ideas. They might work with art, write stories, or come up with new ways to solve problems. `Creativity` is about using imagination to make something unique or different.
# --question--
## --text--
What is Tom's opinion about Lisa?
## --answers--
She is a very logic person and her work always follows the rules
### --feedback--
That is not a very good thing for someone who needs to use their creativity all the time.
---
She has great ideas to find solutions to problems.
---
Tom doesn't like her very much
### --feedback--
Probably he wouldn't praise her as being `creative` if he did not like her.
---
She thinks her works are unimaginative
### --feedback--
On the contrary, if he thinks she's `creative`, he believes in her imagination.

<!-- (Audio) Alice: Thanks for the description, Tom. I'll make sure to say hi when I run into her. -->
# --description--
When you say that you `run into` a person, you mean that you meet someone when you did not expect it. For example, you might `run into` a friend at the store when you didn't know they would be there. Sometimes, it is used simply as a synonym to `meet`.
Listen to the sentence and fill in the blank.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`Thanks for the description, Tom. I'll make sure to say hi when I _ into her.`
## --blanks--
`run`
### --feedback--
Combined with `into`, this verb represents meeting someone, usually by chance.

<!-- (Audio) Delivery Man: Hi there. I have a package for Tom. Do you know him? -->
# --description--
A `package` is a box or a bag that contains items. People use packages to send or receive things in the mail or to store items together. When you buy something at an online store, for instance, you normally receive that `package` back at home some time later.
# --question--
## --text--
Why is the delivery man asking for Tom?
## --answers--
Because Tom needs to deliver something for him
### --feedback--
It's actually the other way around.
---
Because he wants to buy Tom some lunch
### --feedback--
He's there to deliver something for Tom, not to buy him lunch.
---
Because he has a package for Tom
---
Because he wants to give Tom a ride
### --feedback--
This is not mentioned in the dialogue.

<!-- (Audio) Delivery Man: Hi there. I have a package for Tom. Do you know him? Sophie: Yes, I do. -->
# --description--
A quick review: when you ask questions with `do` or `does`, a short way to answer them in English is to use the same verb in the answer. For instance, if someone asks you `Do you study English?`, you could answer `Yes, I study English` or `No, I don't study English`. This, however, is not necessary. Since you have `do` in the question, you could simply answer by saying `Yes, I do.` or `No, I don't.`
Practice this by listening to the dialogues and filling the blanks.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`Delivery Man: Hi there. I have a package for Tom. _ you know him?`
`Sophie: Yes, I _.`
## --blanks--
`Do`
### --feedback--
The auxiliary verb for `Simple Present` questions. It's the first word in the question, so capitalize it.
---
`do`
### --feedback--
The auxiliary verb for `Simple Present` used in `Yes/No` answers.

<!-- (Audio) Sophie: He's got long dark hair and does not wear glasses. -->
# --description--
When using the third person singular (`he`, `she`, or `it`) in the `Simple Present` tense, you normally add an `-s` to the end of a verb. For example, `he wears glasses`. However, when using the negative form, the `-s` goes to the auxiliary verb `do` and gets an extra `e`, forming `does`, combined with `not` and the verb in the regular form. Example: `he does not wear glasses`.
One typical characteristic used to describe a person is to mention that they normally have or don't have their glasses on.
Listen to Sophie's description of Tom and fill in the blanks.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`He's got long dark hair and _ not _ _.`
## --blanks--
`does`
### --feedback--
This is the auxiliary verb for the Simple Present, but in the third person singular.
---
`wear`
### --feedback--
This is the verb related to what you normally do with `glasses` and clothes in general.
---
`glasses`
### --feedback--
A pair of lenses in a frame. You wear them in front of your eyes to see better if things look blurry.

<!-- (Audio) Tom: Hey, Alice, want to play a guessing game? I'll name some objects with strange names and you try to guess what they are. -->
# --description--
`To guess` means to try to answer or think of something when you are not sure if it is correct. For example, if you do not know someone's age, you can say, "I guess they are 20 years old.", meaning you think they are 20, but you're not sure of it.
`To name` means to say the name of something or someone. For example, if you see a picture of an animal and say "This is a dog," you are saying this is the name - in this case, the breed - of the animal.
Finally, a `guessing game` is a fun activity where you try to guess the right answer. For example, someone might describe an object or name it (if the name is a strange word), and you have to guess what it is.
Listen to the dialogue and fill in the blanks accordingly.
# --fillInTheBlank--

<!-- (Audio) Tom: You're on the right track. It's a kind of coffee machine. -->
# --description--
When someone says `you're on the right track` when you are answering a question, what they mean is that your answer was a good one. It was not necessarily 100% correct, but you had a good idea to answer what was being asked of you.
A `coffee machine`, you probably guessed it, is a machine used for making coffee. A `percolator` is one example of a `coffee machine`.
Listen to the sentence and fill in the blanks.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`You're on the right _. It's a kind of coffee _.`
## --blanks--
`track`
### --feedback--
It's a synonym to `way` or `road`. Preceded by `on the right`, it means you had a good guess.
---
`machine`
### --feedback--
It's a tool with moving parts that helps you do things. In this case, it's something that makes coffee.

# --description--
When someone explains something to you and you want to tell them you understood what was being said, you can simply say `got it`. That means you understood the explanation.
`Your turn` means it is your time to do something in a game or activity. For example, if you are playing a board game and someone says, `it's your turn`, it means you should play next. `Turns`, in this context, are the times when different people do something one after the other.
Listen to the dialogue and fill in the blanks.

<!-- (Audio) Tom: Hmm, that's a tough one. Is it a type of rare plant? -->
# --description--
Something `rare` is special because it is not common, something that you do not see or find often. For example, a `rare animal` is an animal that people do not see very much because there are not many of them.
Listen to Tom and fill in the blank.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`Hmm, that's a tough one. Is it a type of _ plant?`
## --blanks--
`rare`
### --feedback--

<!-- (Audio) Tom: Is it a type of rare plant? Alice: Not really. It's a design element. It imitates real world objects in digital interfaces. -->
# --description--
A `skeuomorph` is a virtual object in a digital interface that resembles an object from real life. In calendar applications, for instance, you can have an image that looks very similar to a physical calendar to give you the sensation of familiarity.
# --question--
## --text--
What can we conclude from the dialogue?
## --answers--
Tom is absolutely right
### --feedback--
No, he isn't. He thought `skeuomorph` was a plant, but it's not.
---
`Skeuomorph` is a digital plant
### --feedback--
A `skeuomorph` could be a virtual image that looked like a plant, but there's more to it.
---
Alice came up with a non-existing word just to win the game
### --feedback--
Not really. It's a strange word, but it does exist.
---
Tom didn't guess the meaning of `skeuomorph` and Alice explained to him what it is

<!-- (Audio) Tom: Interesting. Alright, how about 'sphygmomanometer'? Alice: Whoa, that's a mouthful. -->
# --description--
`Whoa` is a word you say when you are surprised or amazed by something. For example, if you see a big, beautiful rainbow, you might say, `Whoa!` to show you are impressed. It can also be used to tell someone to stop or slow down.
When you say something is `a mouthful`, you mean that something (like a word or sentence) is long or difficult to say. For example, if a word or name has many letters and sounds, you can say `it's a mouthful`. It means it is hard to say it all at once.
Listen to the dialogue and fill in the blanks.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`Tom: Interesting. Alright, how about 'sphygmomanometer'?`
`Alice: _, that's a _.`
## --blanks--
`Whoa`
### --feedback--
An expression to show surprise or amazement. Don't forget to capitalize it.
---
`mouthful`
### --feedback--
This blank refers to a word that means something is difficult to say all at once.

<!-- (Audio) Alice: Is it a medical device? Tom: You're absolutely right. It's the device that doctors use to measure your blood pressure. -->

Your `blood pressure` is the force of your blood pushing against the walls of your arteries as your heart pumps it around your body. Doctors check `blood pressure` to see how healthy your heart is.
`To measure` means to find out the size, amount, or length of something using a tool. For example, you can say `I used a ruler to measure my height`, or `You measure time with a clock`. It helps you know how big or small something is.
Listen to the dialogue and fill in the blanks.
# --fillInTheBlank--

`A bit` means a small amount of something. For example, if you are a little hungry, you can say `I'm a bit hungry`. It means you're hungry, but not very much.
`Odd` means something that is strange or unusual. For example, you can say `it is odd to wear a heavy coat on a hot day`, because it is not what you expect. It means it is different from normal or from what you expected it to be.
Listen to the dialogue and fill in the blanks.

<!-- (Audio) Maria: Hey Brian, I was looking at the project details and I noticed something a bit odd. The timeline you mentioned doesn't match what I found in the documentation. -->
# --description--
Maria and Brian had a conversation about this project before. In it, Brian gave Maria a `timeline`. A `timeline` is a list of events in the order they happen. For example, you can make a `timeline` of your day, starting with the moment when you wake up and ending with the moment when you go to sleep. It helps you see what happens first, next, and last. In projects, it is important to have a `timeline` to understand when and in what sequence certain tasks happen.
`To match` means that one piece of information is the same as another piece of information. If two things `don't match`, they are not the same. For example, if your friend's name is spelled differently on two lists, his name on the first list `doesn't match` his name on the second. It means they are different from each other.
The `documentation` of a project is a collection of papers or files that give important information about it. It includes details like what the project is about, the steps to complete it, and any rules or guidelines to follow. It helps everyone involved in the project understand what to do and how to do it.
# --question--
## --text--
What is the odd thing in the project details Maria mentions?
## --answers--
The project is too expensive
### --feedback--
Money is not mentioned in her comment.
---
The times Brian mentioned in a previous conversation are different from what is in the documentation
---
There are not enough people and too many tasks
### --feedback--
She doesn't comment about the allocation of people to the tasks.
---
The team will only be able to wake up, work, and sleep every day during the project
### --feedback--
Waking up and sleeping were only mentioned as examples. Maria does not make comments about that.

# --description--
Listen to the dialogue and answer the question.
# --question--
## --text--
How does Brian feel about Maria's comment?
## --answers--
He agrees with her and thinks the project should be cancelled
### --feedback--
There was no comment related to cancelling the project
---
He believes it's normal that the two pieces of information differ from one another
### --feedback--
Not really. He actually says it's strange.
---
He gets confused as he seemed sure about the timeline
---
He says it's strange that Maria comments something like that
### --feedback--
It's not that fact that Maria commented it that he thinks it's strange, it's the difference in the timeline.

<!-- (Audio) Brian: Really? That's strange. I double checked the project schedule and it should be accurate. -->
# --description--
`Double check` means to look at something again to make sure it is correct. For example, you can say `I wanted to be sure I locked the door, so I double checked it`. It means you are being careful to avoid mistakes, so you are checking what you did again.
A `schedule` is a plan that shows when things will happen. For example, a `school schedule` shows what time classes start and end. It helps you know what to do at different times of the day. In a project, you could use it to estimate the days certain parts of the project start and end.
`Accurate` means something is correct and has no mistakes. For example, if a clock shows the right time, it is `accurate`. It means the information is true and exact.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`Really? That's strange. I _ _ the project _ and it should be _.`
## --blanks--
`double`
### --feedback--
In this context, it means the same as `again`.
---
`checked`
### --feedback--
A verb similar to `verify`. Use its past form.
---
`schedule`
### --feedback--
A synonym for `timeline` in this case, the times when parts of the project are to occur.
---
`accurate`
### --feedback--
A synonym for precise or exact.

# --description--
Listen to the dialogue and answer the question.
# --question--
## --text--
Why is Brian confused?
## --answers--
Because he checked the schedule more than once to make sure it was correct
---
Because he does not know when the project starts
### --feedback--
He checked the dates more than once. He must know the starting date.
---
Because he did not read the documentation
### --feedback--
He says he checked it, so that might not be the case.
---
Because he's not part of the team responsible for this project.
### --feedback--
He is and it seems he is responsible for checking these details as well.

<!-- (Audio) Maria: Well, the documentation says we're starting the testing phase next week, but you mentioned it was the following week. -->
# --description--
`Next` means the thing that comes immediately after the current one. For example, `next month` means the `month` right after this one.
`The following` means the thing that comes right after another mentioned thing. For example, if you talk about something happening in two weeks, you can say `the following week` after `next week`. It means it comes after something else you just talked about.

<!-- (Audio) Maria: Well, the documentation says we're starting the testing phase next week, but you mentioned it was the following week. -->
# --description--
Previously, you saw that, in order to talk about something that is happening at the moment you are speaking, you can use the `Present Continuous` tense (verb `to be` + a verb in the `-ing` form). It is possible, however, to use the same structure to talk about future events that are already part of a schedule. Example: If a doctor says `I am seeing a patient at 4.`, they mean there is a patient scheduled to see them at that time. The event will happen in the future, but it is possible to use the `Present Continuous` tense to express it.
Listen to the dialogue and fill in the blanks.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`Well, the documentation says we_ _ the testing phase next week, but you mentioned it was the following week.`
## --blanks--
`'re`
### --feedback--
This blank has the contraction of the verb `to be` that follows `we`.
---
`starting`
### --feedback--
A verb similar to `begin`. It's in the `Present Continuous` tense to express a schedule future event, so use the `-ing` form.

# --description--
`To clarify` means to make something clear or easier to understand. For example, if someone doesn't understand your instructions, you can say `Let me try to clarify the instructions for you`. This means you will try to explain them in a simpler way.
`Outdated` means something is old and not useful anymore. For example, if you have an old phone that can't run new apps, it is `outdated`. It's the opposite of `updated`, which is when something has the most current information available.

<!-- (Audio) Maria: And what about the budget allocation? -->
# --description--
A `budget` is a plan that shows how much money you have and how you will spend it. For example, if you have $100, your `budget` will show what you will buy with that money and how much each thing costs.
`Budget allocation` means deciding how to divide and use the money in your `budget`. For example, if you have $100 and you decide to spend $50 on food and $50 on clothes, that is your `budget allocation`. It means choosing how to use your money for different things.
Listen to Maria and fill in the blanks.

`Got it!` means you understand something. For example, if someone explains how to do a task and you understand, you can say, `Got it!` It means you know what to do now.
`To clear up` means to make something easy to understand or to fix a misunderstanding. For example, if there is confusion about meeting time and you explain it clearly, you can ask if you `cleared up` the confusion. It means you make everything clear for everyone involved.

<!-- (Audio) Bob: Hey Maria, I wanted to check with you about the food we're going to get for the team meeting. I think there was a mix-up. -->
# --description--
When you `want to check something with someone`, you want to ask someone to make sure something is correct or to get their opinion. For example, if you are unsure about the meeting time, you might say, `I want to check the time with you.` It means you want to confirm or discuss it with them.
# --question--
## --text--
Why is Bob checking about the food with Maria?
## --answers--
Because Maria cooked everything
### --feedback--
There is nothing in the dialogue implying she was the cook.
---
Because he thinks there was some confusion
---
Because Maria ordered the food to the wrong address
### --feedback--
There is no mentioning to the fact the food was already ordered.
---
Because they only ordered sandwiches
### --feedback--
You can't know what they ordered based on what Bob's comment.

<!-- (Audio) Bob: I think there was a mix-up. Maria: Oh really? I thought it was all okay. What happened? -->
# --description--
The verb `to think`, in English, is irregular. Different from other, regular verbs, which get `-ed` added to them to form the past, when you want to use the verb `think` in the past, you use the word `thought`. Example: `I thought you were out of town`, meaning you imagined that the other person traveled to some other place.
The question `What happened?` indicates you are asking someone to explain an event or situation. For example, if you see someone looking upset, you might ask, `What happened?` to understand why they are upset. It means you want to know what made the other person upset. If you see someone with an arm or a leg in a cast, you can ask `What happened?` to understand how the person got hurt.
Listen to the dialogue and fill in the blanks.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`Bob: I think there was a mix-up.`
`Maria: Oh really? I _ it was all okay. What _?`
## --blanks--
`thought`
### --feedback--
The past of the verb `to think`. It's an irregular verb. Be careful!
---
`happened`
### --feedback--
The past of the regular verb `to happen`. The question means you want to understand a situation.

<!-- (Audio) Maria: What happened? Bob: Well, you mentioned we need 10 pounds of chicken wings, but I thought we agreed on 20 pounds. -->
# --description--
`Pounds` are a unit of weight used to measure how heavy something is. For example, if a bag of apples weighs `2 pounds` (for those who use the metric system, approximately 1 `kilogram`), it means the apples are as heavy as that.
`Chicken wings` are a type of food made from the wings of a chicken. They are often cooked and eaten as a snack or meal, sometimes with sauce or seasoning.
`To agree on something` means that two or more people share the same opinion or decision about a specific thing. For example, if you and your friend both decide to go to the movies, you can say `I agree on going to the movies` to tell your friend you like the plan or idea.
# --question--
## --text--
What seems to be the mix-up Bob talks about?
## --answers--
He imagined that Maria liked chicken wings like him
### --feedback--
The discussion is not about their likes or dislikes, but the amount of food to the party.
---
He thought each chicken cost 20 pounds instead of 10
### --feedback--
`Pounds`, here, does not refer to the UK currency, but to weight.
---
He believed Maria was a vegetarian and did not want chicken meat to be served at the party
### --feedback--
It's a company party, so they might have to tend to people with different dietary habits, not only vegetarians.
---
He thought that they had the same idea about the amount of `chicken wings` that would be served at the party.

# --description--
`That's strange` means you think something is unusual or unexpected. For example, if you see it snowing in the summer, you might say, `That's strange.` It means you did not expect that to happen.
`I'm sure` means you are confident that something is true. For example, if you know your friend’s birthday is tomorrow, you can say, `I'm sure it's tomorrow.` It means you believe it without doubt.
Listen and fill in the blanks.

## --blanks--
`strange`
### --feedback--
A synonym to different, unusual or unexpected.
---
`sure`
### --feedback--
This word has to do with being confident something is true.

<!-- (Audio) Maria: That's strange. I'm sure we decided on 10 pounds because it's a small gathering. Are you sure it's 20 pounds? -->
# --description--
A `gathering` is when people come together for a purpose or event. For example, a `family gathering` is when family members meet to spend time together. It means a group of people meeting in one place.
Just as in the phrase `I'm sure`, asking `Are you sure?` means you are asking someone if they are really confident that something is true. For example, if your friend says the store is open and you want to be certain, you may ask, `Are you sure?` It means you want to know if they are confident and have no doubt about it.
# --question--
## --text--
Why is Maria confirming the information with Bob?
## --answers--
Because she doesn't eat chicken
### --feedback--
The `gathering` will join all the team together. This is not about Maria's preferences.
---
Because it's a small event. She thinks `20 pounds of chicken wings` would be too much for it
---
Because she thinks there won't be food for everybody
### --feedback--
On the contrary, she thinks it's a small `gathering`, so it would be food in excess.
---
Because she thinks Bob is strange
### --feedback--
Her comment is not about Bob, but about a misunderstanding.

<!-- (Audio) Bob: You know, now that I think about it, I think I confused it with another event. Sorry. -->
# --description--
`Now that I think about it` means you have remembered or realized something after thinking more. For example, if you forgot where you put your keys but then remember, you might say, `Now that I think about it, they are on the table.` It means you have thought again and found new information.
`To confuse something with something else` means to mix up two things and think one is the other. For example, if you see someone’s twin and think it is your friend, you can say `Sorry. I confused your twin with you`. It means you mistake one thing for another.
# --question--
## --text--
What seemed to be Bob's mix-up?
## --answers--
Bob thought this was a private birthday party
### --feedback--
Not really. They were both discussing the team party from the beginning.
---
Bob thought everybody in the team was a vegetarian
### --feedback--
If he did, they wouldn't be discussing `chicken wings`, would they?
---
Bob thought he was talking with Maria's twin sister
### --feedback--
The twin was just used as an example.
---
Bob probably thought about another team party

<!-- (Audio) Bob: I think I confused it with another event. Sorry. Maria: That's okay. And for the vegetarian options, you mentioned 5 large trays of salad, but I think 3 large trays is enough. -->
# --description--
A `tray` is a flat, shallow container used to carry or hold things. For example, you use a `tray` to bring food or drinks from the kitchen to the table.
`Enough` means having as much as you need. For example, if you have `enough water`, it means you have all the water you need to drink and you don’t need more. It can be used to talk about quantity, like having `enough food`, or to talk about quality, like when something is `good enough`.
Listen to the dialogue and fill in the blanks.

<!-- (Audio) Maria: And for the vegetarian options, you mentioned 5 large trays of salad, but I think 3 large trays is enough. -->
# --description--
Listen to Maria and answer the question.
# --question--
## --text--
What can we conclude in terms of the amount of vegetarian food at the party?
## --answers--
Maria believes that there should be 5 trays of salad for the party
### --feedback--
She actually says that 3 would be enough.
---
She thinks 3 trays of salad are as much as the vegetarians in the team need
---
She will order 5 trays of salad along with the 3 they had decided to order
### --feedback--
That would be an exaggeration, since she thinks 3 trays are enough.
---
She wants to order 3 trays of chicken wings because she thinks they are enough
### --feedback--
Chicken wings were discussed previously. The discussion, now, is about the salad.

<!-- (Audio) Bob: That's my mistake too. It's definitely 3 trays of salad. -->
# --description--
A `mistake` is when something is not correct. For example, if you calculate that 2 plus 2 equals 5, you have made `mistake` because the correct answer is 4. It means something is not right.
`Definitely` means you are very sure about something and there is no doubt. For example, if someone asks if you are coming to the party and you are certain you will go, you can say, `Definitely!` It shows strong agreement or certainty.
Listen to Bob and fill in the blanks.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`That's my _ too. It's _ 3 trays of salad.`
## --blanks--
`mistake`
### --feedback--
When you do something and it's not exactly right, this is what you make.
---
`definitely`
### --feedback--
You can say this when you are really sure of something.

<!-- (Audio) Bob: I just wanted to make sure everyone has enough choices. -->
# --description--
To `make sure` means to check something carefully to be certain that it is correct or that something has been done. For example, you can say `I wanted to make sure the door is locked`, when you check the lock to confirm it is secure.
`Choices` are the different options you can pick from. For example, if you are choosing a flavor of ice cream, the `choices` might be chocolate, vanilla, or strawberry. It means you have more than one possibility to select from.
Listen to Bob and fill in the blanks.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`I just wanted to make _ everyone has enough _.`
## --blanks--
`sure`
### --feedback--
Preceded by `make` it means to be careful and check if something is correct.
---
`choices`
### --feedback--
The same as possibilities to select from or options.

<!-- (Audio) Bob: I just wanted to make sure everyone has enough choices. -->
# --description--
When using words like `everybody` or `everyone`, which mean all the people in a group, we treat them as if they are one person. This is why we use 3rd person singular verbs with them. For example, you say, `Everybody IS here` (instead of `are`) or `Everyone LIKES ice cream` (instead of `like`). Even though these words refer to many people, the verb form used is the same as for one person, like `he` or `she`.
Listen to Bob and fill in the blank.
# --fillInTheBlank--
## --sentence--
`I just wanted to make sure everyone _ enough choices.`
## --blanks--
`has`
### --feedback--
The verb `have`, but remember that you should use the 3rd person singular form with `everyone`.

<!-- (Audio) Bob: I just wanted to make sure everyone has enough choices. Maria: And you're totally right to think this way. Thanks for double checking anyway. -->
# --description--
When you say `You're right to think this way`, you mean that the other person's way of thinking about something is correct or reasonable. For example, if you think a task will be hard and someone says, `You're right to think this way`, they agree that the task is indeed hard and understand why you think so.
In this context, `anyway` is used to show that you are grateful for something despite any difficulties or problems. For example, if someone tried to help you even though it was hard for them, you might say, `Thanks, anyway`, to show you appreciate their effort even if things didn't turn out perfectly.
# --question--
## --text--
What can we conclude based on Maria's answer?
## --answers--
She thought it was best to save money, so they went with only 3 trays of salad
### --feedback--
The decision was not related to saving money.
---
She thought Bob's double checking was unnecessary
### --feedback--
Not really. She said he was right to double check.
---
She liked that Bob double checked the amount of food
---
She thought Bob picked the right choices of menu for the party
### --feedback--
Her comment was not related to picking choices, but to his decision of double checking the food.
