Fires that happen in the home are a very serious problem today. In America, there are over 100,000 home fires every year and many start in the kitchen. There are a lot of things you can do to protect your house from fire.
First of all, you need to follow a few safety rules. You should never leave the kitchen while you are cooking. It’s also a bad idea to wear loose clothes when you cook. Always keep the cooking area clean and don’t let children come very close to the cooker.
It is also important to know what to do if a fire starts. If a pan catches fire, don’t throw water on it! Put a blanket over it and turn off the heat. If the fire doesn’t go out, call the fire brigade. If a fire starts inside the oven, keep the door shut and turn it off. If you burn yourself, run cold water over the burn.
Finally, install a smoke alarm and learn how to use it. Also, know the number of your fire brigade by heart. It’s better to be safe than sorry.

Hello friends,
I need your help with the following problem.
There are three sentences, with a gap in each of them.
I need to find the one single word (and only one) which can fill all the three gaps and fit properly.
1. I’m sure Maria will ………. for the beach as soon as she’ll be unpacked.
2. How do you think Frizt will …….. each month, with his new job ?
3. He’s achieving great results, I’m sure the management will ……. him sales manager next year.
I couldn’t find anything better than «head», but I’m pretty sure it’s wrong.
A guy who was at the exam with me tried «drive», which is also wrong.
Any suggestions ?
Ciao
Claudio

Hi Claudio,
Is there a word missing from the second sentence?

Can future tense be after as soon as?
If my memories serve me right, my teacher said never.

You’re right, Erik. It should read:
1. I’m sure Maria will …….. for the beach as soon as she’s [she has] unpacked.
-
#5
Hi Claudio,
I can’t find a word that does all three, but I have to say, sentences 1 and 2 sound wrong regardless. «as soon as she’ll be unpacked» is ungrammatical, like you said, and «each month, with his new job ?» seems to have a misplaced comma, and at first glance «with» is incorrect too. «In» would work better, as long as the missing word doesn’t change the structure. Mind you, my observation still doesn’t help much! Sorry!
-
#6
I think the missing word for all three is «make»:
…she’ll make for the beach
How much will Fritz make each month
…management will make him sales manager…

Hello Claudio,
The obvious answer, to me, is «make». But, as La Grive says, there seems to be something missing in the second sentence. That would need the addition of «out» — «How do you think Fritz will make out each month . . . ?»

LRV

Omitted words and other errors MAKE this difficult to correct!

Thank you for your kind and prompt replies.
At the exam I couldn’t take note of the sentences, therefore I obviously stuffed them with errors when I tried (with the only help of my memory) to type them in the first post of this thread.
Anyway you all agree that the word is «make».
I have another question : is «make for the beach» a bit colloquial ? I ask because I have never seen such a form. Is it BE ? Or AE ?
Ciao and thank you again
Claudio

#10
In BE I say «head for the beach».
Regards,
LRV

#11
I agree with Joelline. Even without the mistakes, it is very difficult. I´d guess that «make for» is both BE and AE, though I´ll let the Americams speak for themselves. It´s certainly BE, though a bit unusual, perhaps more written than spoken?
-
#12
In AE I have heard and understand «make for the beach,» although its not the primary way of saying it. We usually say «head to the beach» or «go to the beach.» I am sure there are other but thats all I can think of at the moment.

#13
Let me offer sincere sympathy and suggest that you reserve the right to appeal to the European Court of Human Rights. This is cruel and unusual punishment, not a legitimate examination in the use of English.
I’ll accept that it is possible to use make in each of these sentences. But I stress possible and assert that it is unnatural.

Ooops, Cracker Jack,
Go back and read the nasty directions again. That was our problem: you had to use the 1 word (the same word) in all 3 sentences!
It is for this reason that the Europeans here will be appealing to the European Court of Human Rights, and the Americans will be appealing to the Supreme Court! This was, indeed, cruel and unusual punishment!
Best,
Joelline

If the second sentence is «How much do you think he will make each month, with his new job?», is «make» the correct word then?

«Make for» meaning to go to, or head in the direction of, is not
used with any frequency in AE. It’s found quite a bit in 19th and early 20th century writing, but has fallen out of favor in recent decades.

My understanding is that Cambridge questions are tested and a sufficient number of ‘guinea pigs’ must have answered the question for it to have been shown to help in grading candidates’ English ability.
I don’t feel «make for the beach» is so unusual.

It’s not unusual if you’re reciting dialogue in a WW II movie about the beaches at Normandy! Otherwise, when is the last time you said it or heard someone say it?
