I had a great week at school! We were having a media studies lesson when our teacher told us that we were going to make a radio advertisement for the school! I was really fascinated by the idea because I had been interested in a career in television since childhood. She asked us to plan our  advertisement in detail and to write a script. Most people found it difficult to  come up with ideas, but I didn’t. I decided that I would have interviews with people who used to go to our school, commenting on how they had benefited from going to that school. My teacher thought it was a great idea and said I should see if I  could  find some ex-students. I asked the headmistress and she gave me a few phone numbers. When I called them and explained what I wanted to do, they were all happy to help.

This weekend I am going to visit them and record what they say. Unfortunately, I don’t have a camera now. If I hadn't spent all my money last year, I would have one now. I am looking forward to interviewing school leavers. Our radio advertisement will be broadcast in a week.

My teacher asked me why I liked media studies so much. I told her that I enjoyed communicating with people.

Observaţii:

Acest exerciţiu testează acumularea de noţiuni gramaticale diverse de limbă engleză.

• În primul rând, pune accent pe înţelegerea şi aplicarea concordanţei timpurilor:

- "we were having a media studies lesson when our teacher told us" (folosirea lui Past Tense Continuous ca acţiune progresivă / în desfăşurare în momentul trecut de scurtă durată, exprimat prin Past Tense Simple)

- relaţie de anterioritate ("people who used to go to our school, commenting on how they had benefited from going to that school" - Past Participle folosit ca acţiune logică anterioară din punct de vedere cronologic altei acţiuni trecute, exprimate prin Past Tense Simple)

• Cunoaşterea expresiei "to look forward to" care cere forma în "-ing" a verbului: "I am looking forward to interviewing"

• Folosirea corectă a articolului zero ("zero article") pentru substantive cu funcţie generică (uncountable nouns): "I had been interested in a career in television"

• Cunoaşterea regulilor pentru propoziţiile condiţionale: "If I hadn't spent all my money last year, I would have one now."
