After I graduated from university, I applied for a marketing position in a

prominent bank with branches all over the world. I didn’t get the job

because they wanted someone who spoke Spanish fluently. I

1) (could, take) Spanish in high school, but I didn’t. I took

an acting class instead. If I 2) (take) Spanish, I

(get) the job. Just imagine, if I had actually gotten the

job, I 3) (move) to Spain. My entire life

4) (could, go) in a totally different direction. I could

have married. If that had actually happened, I probably 5)

(stay) in Spain. I 6) (might, have) children. Unfortunately, I

didn’t get the job and I didn’t go to Spain. I got a boring job and I live

alone. If I had just taken Spanish, my life 7) (be) much

more interesting.
