Question

1) Conditionals: review of basic patterns
1.Read through the text below, then complete it using the verbs in brackets.

My father’s job took him all over the world, so I was sent to a boarding school from the age of eight to 18. Looking back on it now, I think I (1) ………… (be) happier, and maybe better educated, if instead of sending me away, my parents (2) ………… (keep) me with them during those years and (3) ………… (send) me to local schools in the countries they were living in. But they did it for the best.
Now I’m trying to decide on my own career. I’d really like a job that involves travelling, and I’ve applied for two so far. The first one’s in South America – I don’t think I’ll get it though. If I (4) ………… (know) some Spanish or Portuguese, I (5) ………… (probably have) a better chance, but we only did French at school. The second job’s in Australia so there isn’t a language problem, and the salary’s fantastic! I’m on the short-list, so things look hopeful. If I (6) ………… (get) it, I (7) ………… (have) to sign a five-year contract, but that doesn’t really worry me. After all, I suppose that if you (8) ………… (want) a good job, you (9) ………… (have) to be prepared to commit yourself.
