The key answer of exercise 3
The key to exercise solutions in chapter 6.4 - Differences for the textbook Speakout Advanced Plus - Students' Book with authors Frances Eales and Steve Oakes from Pearson Education
Question
- Watch Part 2 of the interviews about whether people behave differently at work or college compared to with friends. Who speaks mainly about similarities (S) and who speaks mainly about similarities and differences (SD)?
- Watch again. What is each speaker referring to, and what do they mean, by the phrases below?
Answer
a)
- Nicole → SD
- Priscilla → SD (but she does say twice that she behaves the same way in both situations, i.e. informally)
- Praneet → S
- Charlie → SD
b)
- Nicole → She means that with friends you can talk about anything, so it's relaxed and informal.
- Priscilla → She calls the girl she babysits for 'girlfriend' or 'chica', as she does with her own friends - that's an indication of their informality.
- Charlie → She's talking about being at work, when the need to focus creates a difference between that context and informal contexts.
