everyone at least once in a life passed some kind of exam. should we worry about the results of the exam after we did that? at first glance, an answer to this question seems to be a piece of cake. but people actually split down in the middle with no clear confidence. being in the dark about our mark makes us feeling nervous. some people even become down in the dumps, i mean, they fall into depression bothering themselves. they even may understand that it doesn’t make any sense but they commonly can’t help it. but there is a category of people that can manage to not let their hairs down. they stay still whatever they do, particularly, sit in for a test.
to conclude, i don’t want to beat around the bush, that’s why will tell you my clear viewpoint. i also think that feeling nervous while waiting for exam results doesn’t add up.
1 Peter: You (have been telephoning) for ages. Have you not nearly (finished)? Jack: I (have not got) through yet. I (have been trying) to get our Paris office but the line (has been ) engaged all morning. 2 Ann (has failed) her driving test three times because she's so bad at reversing. But she (has been practising) reversing for the last week and I think she (has got) a bit better at it. 3 Tom: I have often (wondered) why Bill left the country so suddenly. Peter: Actually, I have just (found) out. 4 He (has been playing) the bagpipes since six o'clock this morning. He has only just (stopped). 5 Why have you (not brought) me the letters for signature? Have you (not typed) them yet? 6 Tom (looking up absent-mindedly as Mary comes in): Have you been (sunbathing)? Mary (crossly): Don't be ridiculous! It (has been raining) all day! 7 A pair of robins (have been building) a nest in the porch since last week. I (have been watching them from my window since they began. 8 The police (have not found) the murderer yet, but the dead man's brother (has been) in the station all day. The police say that he (has been helping) them with their enquiries. 9 They (have pulled) down most of the houses in this street, but they (have not touched) the old shop at the corner yet. 10 Tom is convinced that there is gold in these hills but we (have been searching) for six months and (have not seen) any sign of it. 11 I (have been waiting) for the prices of the houses to come down before buying a house, but I think I (have been waiting) too long and the prices are beginning to go up again. 12 Peter (has been) a junior clerk for three years. Lately he (has been looking) for a better post but so far he (has not found) anything.
