1. - How was your first date with Caroline?
- Not bad. We had a meal, saw a film, and when I took her home I put my arm around her and kissed her.
2. When I left home and got my own flat I had to pay my own bills, do my own shopping, cleaning and cooking.
I really took responsibility for my own life.
3. - Have you ever taken drugs?
- Only soft drugs like hash and marijuana.
4. I told you not to buy an American car. You should have taken my advice and bought Japanese or Korean.
5. Juanito bought shares in an oil company in Iraq. He took a big risk but he was lucky and it paid off.
6. My husband is always at the office. He comes home late and even works at weekends. He hardly ever sees the
children. I wish he wouldn’t put his work before his family.
7. – How are things going at work?
- My boss has put me in charge of the export department and I’m working a lot harder and more hours.
- You should take things easy. You had a heart attack last year and the last thing you need is for your boss
to put pressure on you.
8. There’s a leaving party for Frank tomorrow. It takes place / will take place / is taking place / is going to
take place / will be taking place in my office at 3 o’clock and I hope to see you all there.
9. It took me ages to find the courage to ask Kevin out for a drink. When we got to the pub and started speaking
he completely ignored me. When I told him I thought he was attractive he took no notice.
10. We’re looking for a new IT coordinator in our company, and the head of the computer department is a personal
friend of mine. If you’re unhappy at your firm, I could put in a good word for you and try to get you an interview
for the job.
