TWO QUESTIONS
In this picture I can see a woman and a man in their thirties. I think they must be a couple. They are wearing comfortable casual clothes like jeans, trainers and T-shirts, so it might be autumn or spring. I think they are moving into their new home because the woman is carrying some plants and the man is carrying a huge box. They are next to the front door. In the background I can see a room. It may be the kitchen but I’m not sure. Both the woman and the man look excited about having a new home.
This picture reminds me of a time when I helped my neighbour Marc. He had just moved to the flat next to mine and I offered to help him take some things out of his van and into his flat. I remember some boxes were really heavy. After we finished, Marc and I went to have a beer together. Now we get on really well. He’s a good neighbour.
Remember the experience must be about the past. Can you see the verbs in bold in the sample?
Be careful with the pronunciation of these words:
