Look at these photos. What are the people saying? What are they thinking?
1. Green car dude
Options 1 and 2 make sense grammatically, but they are very silly. The third one is a bit more realistic. A BIT.
2. The woman on the right
It's possible that the saleswoman is trying to steal the man from his wife, in which case the first step would be to come between them. But more likely she's just trying to sell some insurance.
By the way, any insurance salesmen taking this course should contact my girlfriend. She LOVES buying insurance.
3. This old lady
She might want to encourage you to start a new hobby, but it's unlikely she'd be so angry about it. She WOULD be angry about some no-good punk kids giving her cheek.
4. This attractive young person talking about her date last night
#1 could work if he said 'made for me' which is like 'walked towards me'. As you know, make up for has a different meaning.
#3 doesn't work because you can't answer back until someone has said something!
To understand #2 you have to think that 'Jamaican' in a Jamaican accent sounds like 'You're making'. Imagine Usain Bolt saying, 'You're making me crazy!'
Note that pickup lines and flirting techniques are unlikely to be tested in your Cambridge exam.
5. "Hey girl, are you Wifi? Because we have a connection."
It's possible she's thinking about his nose getting smaller and thinner, but I'd say the odds are a trillion to one. (i.e. very unlikely.)
He IS getting ready to ask her on a date, and they'll get married, and 3 years later when she wants a divorce she'll say 'We lost the connection' and he won't understand because he'll have forgotten this day completely.
6. The lady with the wine
#1 is correct, but it doesn't seem to be what the woman is thinking RIGHT NOW.
#2 isn't the right way to use 'dry up'.
7. The woman in the bottom-left
#1 is correct even though when I showed this to my girlfriend she didn't think it was a good example of being picked on. I think if a group doesn't let you talk to them, that's a kind of bullying. I THINK IT WORKS I AM THE COURSE CREATOR I DECIDE.
#2: Because we're talking about a relationship it would be correct to say: I give up ON this company.
You CAN say 'give up' on its own. For example: 'I gave up smoking' which means 'I quit smoking'.
8. The woman on the left
#3 is POSSIBLE but HIGHLY UNLIKELY.
If I had to describe the look on the woman on the right's face I would say 'patronising'. So I think #2 is a good fit.
9. These people, who had an argument
I saw this picture and thought it was really funny. What kind of handshake is that? There's like 4 metres of space between their hands.
