II. DIALOGUE
Service Station Attention: Regular or super unleaded?
You: Regular, please. Could you also check the oil and the tires?
(You read the instructions for Washington.)
Service Station Attention: Your oil is down a bit. Shall I put in a quart?
You: OK. Would you mind cleaning the windshield, too?
Service Station Attention: Sure. Where are you headed?
You: To Washington. I’ve got to do some research there. I know nothing about the
city.
Service Station Attention: It’s a great place — lots of good restaurants, museums, and
stores. How long will you be there?
You: I’m not sure yet. Probably several days.
Service Station Attention: Have a safe trip! And don’t miss the Smithsonian!
(The instruction for Washington look complicated. And you still have to go to
Chicago and the West coast! As you drive away, you wonder whether you’ll be able
to collect your inheritance after all.)
III. GRAMMAR EXERCISES
1. In this exercise you have to read the situation
and then write a sentence with the present
perfect continuous (I have been doing).
Example:
Tom is out of breath. (he/run)
...He has been running...
1 Ann is very tired. (she/work/hard) ...
2 Bob has a black eye and Bill has a cut lip. (Bob and Bill/fight)...
3 George has just come back from the beach. He is very red.
(he/lie/ in the sun) ...
4 Janet is hot and tired. (she/play/tennis) ...
2. This time you have to ask a question for
each situation.
Example: Your friend’s hands are covered in oil. (you/work/on the car?)
...Have you been working on the car? ...
1 You see a little boy. His eyes are red and watery. (you/cry?) ...
2 You have just arrived to meet your friend who is waiting for you.
(you/wait/long?) ...
3 Your friend comes in. His face and hands are very dirty. (what/you/do?) ...
3. This time you have to imagine that you are talking
to a friend. Read the situation and ask a
question beginning in the way shown.
Example:
Your friend is learning Arabic.
