Task 5. Fill the gaps in the letter by putting the verbs in brackets into the Present Perfect.
Hi everybody!
I feel really bad because I (not to speak) to anyone from school for a really long time. But I have a good excuse! The reason you (not hear) from me for so long is that I (move) out the area. My husband Leroy and I (start) a marketing company in a place called Anchorage in Alaska (Don’t ask me why – it’s a long story!) and we (buy) a big, modern house just outside the city. It’s absolutely freezing here, but we love it!
My other big news is that I (have) a baby. She’s called Alice, she’s six months old and she’s really cute!
But that’s enough about me. What (you do) over the last five years? Please send me an e-mail – I’d love to hear from anyone in my old class.
