Analisi Testo Inglese: Comprensione del Racconto Vocabulary 65

Vocabulary 65 - C1

Herbert was incredibly frustrated. He'd spent the afternoon trying to improve his putting in the garden, using a cheap laser pointer he'd bought online. "This will make me an expert!" he'd declared to Margot.

Margot, tending to her roses, just sighed. "Herbert, you can barely see the ball with that thing in broad daylight."

His neighbor, Mr. Peterson, had recently invested in an exclusive golf club membership, and Herbert was determined to beat him at the next round. "I will enforce my will upon this golf ball!" he muttered, fumbling with the laser.

Later that evening, Brian was watching TV, and a public service announcement began, attempting to depict the dangers of smoking. Herbert, engrossed in a golf magazine, barely glanced at the screen.

"Dad, that ad is so exaggerated," Brian commented. "Nobody actually coughs that much."

Herbert grunted. "They're trying to scare people, Brian. It's called lobbying. They want to change the rules so people don't smoke."

The next day, Herbert tried to convince Brian that the laser pointer was a sound investment, even if it only worked indoors and annoyed the cat. Brian just rolled his eyes and went back to his video game. "It's for golf!" Herbert insisted, knowing deep down it was more of a distraction than a training aid.
