NOTAS:

1. Para la respuesta 5 hay dos alternativas: el infinitivo 'look up to', si consideramos la omisión de 'I used to', o la forma de pasado simple 'looked up to', si suponemos que la estructura 'used to' afecta solo al verbo 'respect'.

• I used to respect David and (I) really (used to) look up to him, and I could turn to him if I had a problem, but not now.

• I used to respect David and really looked up to him, and I could turn to him if I had a problem, but not now.

2. Hay que completar el diálogo con 'phrasal verbs' referidos a relaciones entre personas. El número de rayitas es una ayuda, pues indica el número de palabras que forma cada verbo.

Estos son los significados que estos 'phrasals' tienen en este diálogo (algunos tienen varios significados, que no he escrito aquí):

1. get along (well) with [somebody] ➺ llevarse bien con alguien

2. make up with [somebody] ➺ reconciliarse con alguien, hacer las paces con alguien

3. put up with [somebody/something] ➺ tolerar, soportar o aguantar a alguien o algo

4. put [somebody] down ➺ hablar mal de alguien, menospreciar a alguien

5. look up to [somebody] ➺ admirar y respetar a alguien

➤ TRADUCCIÓN

A: He discutido con David, mi hermano mayor, y ahora no nos hablamos.

B: ¡Oh, no! Pero tú sueles llevarte muy bien con él. Y cuando discuten/discutís, siempre [se reconcilian]/[os reconciliáis] después.

A: Bueno, sí, generalmente sí. Pero él está diciendo cosas desagradables sobre Ben.

B: ¿Ben... tu novio?

A: Sí... exactamente. Y yo no pude soportarlo más. No sé por qué tiene que  hablar mal de Ben. Ben siempre ha sido amable con él. Yo solía respetar a David y realmente  lo admiraba, y podía recurrir a él si yo tenía un problema, pero ahora no.

A: Si le explicaras todo esto a tus padres, ¿lo regañarían por ello?

B: Lo hicieron... pero creo que eso ha empeorado las cosas.
