The key answer of exercise 2

The key to exercise solutions in chapter 08 - Speaking for the textbook Cutting Edge Elementary - Student's Book with authors Sarah Cunningham, Peter Moor and Araminta Crace from Pearson Education

Question

  1. Andy wants to arrange an evening out with his colleagues. Watch the video and answer the questions.
  2. Watch again and write the reason each person gives for saying yes or no.

Answer

a)

  1. Friday
  2. Each person says yes then changes their mind and says no.

b)

  • First woman: very busy
  • Man and second woman: dance class, birthday

These are probably not the real reasons for people saying they can’t go. Each person only says no when they find out that their boss Peter is also going!
