Analisi Testo Inglese: Comprensione del Racconto Vocabulary 228

Vocabulary 228 - C1

Herbert was trying to adhere a new shelf to the living room wall. He'd bought it online, promising Margot extra storage, but the instructions were baffling.

Margot walked in. "Having trouble, dear?" she asked, noticing Herbert sweating and surrounded by scattered screws.

"Trouble? No trouble at all!" Herbert declared, then the shelf promptly fell off the wall with a crash. "Just...testing its structural integrity."

Brian sauntered in, skateboard in hand. "Wow, Dad. You're really trying to heighten the suspense, aren't you?"

Herbert glared. "This is serious, Brian! This shelf is going to hold Margot's prize-winning ceramic cat collection! If it falls again, it'll be disastrous!"

Margot sighed. "Let me help. I think you're using the wrong type of adhesive. And those drywall anchors are useless."

Later, after Margot had successfully installed the shelf, Herbert decided it was time to unveil his latest contraption: a remote-controlled snack delivery system.

"Behold!" he announced, pressing a button. A small toy car wobbled across the floor, carrying a plate of cookies. It promptly crashed into the newly installed shelf.

The shelf remained stubbornly attached to the wall. Brian burst out laughing.

Margot, however, was not amused. "Herbert!"

Herbert hung his head. "I just wanted to ensure fairness in the distribution of cookies," he mumbled.

Brian stifled another laugh. "Fairness? You just wanted the cookies closer to the TV!"

Margot took a deep breath. "Alright, everyone. Let's clean this up. Herbert, no more inventions today."
