Exercise 1 Verb patterns
Complete the letter to the editor with the correct form of the verbs in brackets.
I am writing response to an article in your newspaper
about the problem with today’s young people.
I wanted to put (put) an alternative point of view.
Firstly, it’s important (1) |
(understand) |
|
that not all teenagers behave badly. I will always |
||
remember (2) |
|
(be) helped by two |
young women when I lost my keys and I was trying
(3)(get) back into my house. They
stopped (4) (help) me when older
people just walked past. They waited with me until I
managed (5) (contact) my son and get
a set of spare keys. Another example is when we were
planning (6) (donate) money to the local
hospital. A large group of schoolchildren did different
activities and succeeded in (7) |
|
(raise) |
||||
thousands of pounds. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
Of course, some young people are anti-social and we |
||||||
need (8) |
(do) something about them. |
|||||
In my opinion, instead of always (9) |
|
|
|
|||
(criticize) them, we should give them activities that |
||||||
they enjoy (10) |
(do). This will keep them |
|||||
off the streets and make them (11) |
|
|
(feel) |
|||
part of the community. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||
Finally, I would like (12) |
|
|
|
(point out) |
||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
that teenagers have always been different from their
parents. I remember (13) (love) clothes
and music that my parents hated. It was all part of
(14)(grow up).
Yours,
Marcia Burns

Exercise 2 Present perfect
Complete the interview with the correct form of the verbs in brackets. Use the Present Perfect (simple, continuous or passive) or the Past Simple.
I = Interviewer R = Richard
IHi Richard, and welcome to ‘Collectors’ World’. Now you collect autographs, is that right?
R |
Yes, I ’ve collected (collect) about 3,000 up to now. |
|||||||||||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

That’s a lot. So, how long (1) |
|
|
|
you |
|||||||||
|
|
|
(collect) famous people’s autographs? |
|||||||||||
R |
For about ten years. I (2) |
|
|
|
|
|
(start) it when |
|||||||
|
I was about 14. My mother gave me her autograph |
|||||||||||||
|
book and I (3) |
|
|
|
(be) interested in the |
|||||||||
|
hobby ever since. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
I |
And who (4) |
|
|
(sign) your first autograph? |
||||||||||
R |
Well, my first book (5) |
|
|
|
|
|
(contain) all the |
|||||||
|
players from my local football team, but since then I |
(6)(concentrate) mainly on music and
|
movie stars. In fact, my friends (7) |
|
|
(become) |
||||||||||||||||||
|
interested recently, too. They ask for autographs for |
|||||||||||||||||||||
|
me – one of them (8) |
|
|
|
|
|
(get) Madonna’s last |

|
month! |

|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

I |
That must be worth quite a lot of money. I heard |
|||||||||||||||||||||
|
that some autographs (9) |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
just |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|||||||
|
|
|
(auction) on the Internet for thousands |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
of dollars. (10) |
|
|
you ever |
|
|
|
|
(ask) |
|||||||||||||
|
to sell your collection? |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
||||||
R |
No, but for me it (11) |
|
|
|
|
never |
|
|
|
|
|
(be) |
||||||||||
|
about money. I just enjoy the process. My collection |
|||||||||||||||||||||
|
(12) |
|
|
|
(grow) steadily over the years and I |
|||||||||||||||||
|
can’t imagine selling it. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|

I |
But is there anything negative about the process? |

R |
It can be frustrating. If you (13) |
|
(stand) |
|||||||||||||||||||
|
in the cold and the rain for hours and then a star |
|||||||||||||||||||||
|
refuses to sign, it’s very disappointing. That |
