London University is one of the (highly) appreciated universities in the world, therefore, I wanted to be accepted there. But I was lucky and I was accepted there. I (had to) make two trips to London before I started one for the interview and another to find accommodation. The university provided students with information about flats. By the time the semester began, I (had already found) a place to live and a roommate. While I was studying, I didn’t think about work and how I (am earning) my living after university. When the time came, I realized that languages had always interested me so I applied for several jobs to teach English abroad. Obviously, I didn’t have any experience but I thought I had a small chance of (being accepted). In the end, a letter came and I felt nervous as I opened it. But the news (was) good! The letter offered me a job in a Swedish school. I knew the winter weather in Sweden was cold so I bought some warm clothes. Then I had a farewell party and everyone wished me good luck in my new life as a teacher. Since then I (have had) a lot of jobs in different countries and I am happy to say that I have enjoyed all of them. But I have wondered many times what (would have happened) if that first letter had turned me down.
1) The children are in the yard. They have been playing hide-and-seek since breakfast time.
2) Barbara has been doing her make-up for half an hour but hasn't finished it yet.
3) Nice to meet you. I haven't seen you for a long time.
4) We have heard nothing of him for two years (без двойного отриц.)
5) She is a well-known artist. She has been drawing since her childhood
6) She has always liked cats. And now she has three at home.
7) Is Tom still ill? No. He has just recovered
8) Have you sent them the contract yet?
9) I have been translating this story since morning, but still can't understand some sentences.
10) Ben hasn't been doing his homework all this time. He has been playing computer games.
11) You look upset. What has happened to you?
12) "Sorry, I'm late" - "That's all right. I have not been waiting long."
