Ana Beatriz said...

hi, Priscilla

1 & 3 are correct, but I'm afraid exercise 2 isn't.

Can you try again?

Cheers,

Bia

Levi Ramos said...

Don't give up, Priscilla! Nonetheless, don't wait until somebody else comes up with all the correct answers either! Go ahead and earn your medal!!

Keep on blogging, y'all!

Levi Ramos said...

So... anyone up for 2 medals here??
Bia, here's another cue for you to get on stage!!!

Iasmin Marinho said...

I'll give it a shot:

1- count
2- praise
3- host

Levi Ramos said...

What say you, Bia?

Ana Beatriz said...

Yasmin, I'm afraid one of the answers is not correct. Keep trying! I'm sure you can do it.

Cheers,

Ana Beatriz

Levi Ramos said...

Do we have a winner or not just quite yet, Bia?

Ana Beatriz said...

Unfortunately, there's no winner. :-(
But keep trying, guys.

Cheers,

Bia

Levi Ramos said...

Ana, perhaps you could give our friends a hint or two. But don't tell them what the answers are directly, please!

Ana Beatriz said...

Ok, then...

Number 1 starts with 'C'
Number 2 starts with 'O'
Number 2 starts with 'H'

So, guys, can you answer now?

Cheers,

Bia

Diogo Kubrusly said...

Number 2 is really difficult.
Don't ask me why I chose this word, but I think it's OWE, I'm guessing...

Iasmin Marinho said...

1-count
2-observe
3- host

Ana Beatriz said...

congratulations, Yasmin!

Your answers are correct!

Cheers,

Bia

Ana Beatriz said...

I'm sorry, Diogo. I'm afraid your answer isn't correct. The right one for number 2, as Yasmin said, is OBSERVE.

but don't be sad and keep blogging.

Cheers,

Bia

Diogo Kubrusly said...

That's ok Ana... We can't have the cake and eat it.
Congrats Iasmin!
You really deserve this medal!

Levi Ramos said...
