On Monday, just as I (TRY) _________________________ to wind down after a long working
day, the telephone (RING) _________________________: “Is that you, Helen?” someone asked on the phone. “Yes, this (BE) _________________ me,” I replied. “Sandra speaking, my friend. I need to talk to you right now,” she said in a desperate voice. She was a quiet girl who always tried not to call you when you (just/ ARRIVE) _________________________ from work. She never wanted to disturb her friends, so I knew something serious (GO) _________________________ on. “I (not/ HEAR) _________________________ from you in a week. What (you/ DO) _________________________ lately?” I asked Sandra. “To tell you the truth,” she said “I (HAVE) _________________________ a lot of problems with my boyfriend recently,” she continued. “(you/WANT) __________________ to talk about it?” I asked. I (not/ FINISH) __________________ saying the phrase that she started crying. “You (not/ BELIEVE) _______________________ what happened to me last week,” she said. “It was Saturday morning and my boyfriend (TELL) _________________________ me he (PICK) _________________________ me up at 8 pm to go out for dinner at a fancy restaurant downtown. Eight o’clock arrived. I was at home, ready to (PICK) _________________________ up. It was nine o’clock and my boyfriend (not/ APPEAR) _________________________ or (CALL) _________________________. I (BEGIN) _________________________ to get worried when my telephone (RING) ______________________: “Your boyfriend is cheating on you! You can catch him red-handed at this very moment. Go to Rodham road and Sixth and you’ll see...” I could not believe what I (just/ HEAR) _________________________ buy anyway, I went to the place the female voice (INDICATE) _________________________ and there he was: he (KISS) _________________________ a girl as he (never/ KISS) _________________________ me before. When he saw me he said that he (BE) _________________________ sorry and promised he (never/ DO) _________________________ it again. I don’t know what to do. I love him but he (really/ HURT) _________________________ my feelings. Tell me, Helen, what (you/DO) _________________________ if you were me?” Sandra asked me. “Look, if I (BE) _________________________ you, I (FORGIVE) _________________________ him temporarily until I (GET) _________________________ a new, better candidate,” I replied. “I don’t know,” she said. “I think everything will depend on his next move. If he (CALL) _________________________ me and apologizes for what he (DO) _________________________, I guess I (GIVE) _________________________ him a second chance. I love him and I want to be happy with him. What do you think, Helen?” she asked me. “I think you (not/ NEED) _________________________ my opinion; you (already/ MAKE) _________________________ a decision. I just hope it (BE) _________________________ the right one,” I said.
