Title: Exercise 1

Fill in the missing verbs ... present simple or present continuous?

Q: Dear Ricky,

Here's a picture of an old fashioned telephone box. Can you believe that people used to use these? We [...] (stay) in a small bed and breakfast which not many people [...] (know) about. In fact, we are almost the only tourists here, so we [...] (not want) too many others to discover our secret place!

Our daily life is very pleasant. Every morning, we [...] (get) up between 9 and 10, and [...] (have) a long, relaxed breakfast - just as I [...] (do) now, which is probably why this letter's got butter on it - sorry! After breakfast we [...] (spend) about ten seconds making the big decision about where to spend the day, and of course we [...] (always go) to a museum.

Anyhow, how are you? I hope you [...] (get) on all right in your new job, and that you [...] (not work) too hard.

See you in a couple of weeks.

Lots of love, Nina
