Long/Short synonyms

In inglese esistono molte parole che hanno lo stesso significato. Queste parole prendono il nome di sinonimi. Talvolta i due sinonimi sono di diversa lunghezza: uno lungo e uno più breve.

3 Match each short word in box A with its longer synonym in box B.

training: allenamento pester: infastidire tracking phone: un telefono che può essere rintracciato

‘I promise I’ll call/text, I won’t be late’. My teenagers, Trudy 14 and Tara 16, say these things all the time. They usually let us know when they’re going to be late, but sometimes they don’t. I get anxious and start calling their friends or even the hospitals! Then I get the usual excuses ‘Sorry, I forgot to recharge the battery/switch on/top up my phone’. Ten or twelve year olds want to go out and play. Parents want them to grow up strong and independent; however the world is not always safe. You don’t want to be an anxious parent, calling them all the time, but how do you know where they really are? Well, some parents are opting for an unusual solution. Jay and Stuart Bradley talked to Ontario News.‘We’ve got two children, Kirk is 12 and he’s an absolutely fantastic kid. He plays a lot of sports and often goes away with his football team for matches or training. Kirsty is 16, she passed her driving test two months ago and is a sensible girl. She has promised that she won’t drive fast, and she won’t talk on her mobile or text when she’s driving. She complains that we worry too much or that we don’t trust her. Although we trust our daughter, we worry when she goes out with her friends on a Saturday night. We don’t want to pester our kids with phone calls, so Stuart and I are going to buy each of them a tracking phone with GPS software. They’re a bit expensive, but they’re extremely useful. We can know where the children are every time they leave the house. They are normal phones so they can call, text and listen to their favourite music with them. When Kirk is out playing with his friends we can just log onto the tracker website and we can see where they are. When Kirsty goes on a trip with her friends, the site tells us where she is going, as well as how fast she is driving.
