(a)

After that One summer Suddenly The next day Two minutes later when

One summer, I decided to travel to Peru. I flew to Lima, and then I traveled to a town near
Machu Picchu to spend the night. After that, I climbed the mountain to visit the monument. I
was tired when I reached the top!
The next day, I saw a man who was in my English class back home. Suddenly, he came over
to speak to me, and he was just as surprised as I was.
Two minutes later, we decided to travel together. We had a great summer, and we continued
seeing each other back home. In fact, we got married two years later, and we now have a
beautiful daughter named Beth.

(b) 1 Although James was very late,

a his boss got very angry.
b his boss didn't say anything.

2 I got up late, so
a I didn’t have time for breakfast. This is correct.
b I didn’t hear the alarm clock.

3 The tickets were really expensive, but

a I decided not to buy one.
b I decided to buy one. This is correct.

4 Laura ran to the train station because

a she was late. This is correct.
b she missed the train.

5 Although my apartment is small,

a I need a bigger one.
b it’s perfect for me. This is correct.

(c) although (x2) because but (x2) so (x2)

1 I didn’t have time, so I didn’t have any breakfast.

2 It was really hot, but I had a great vacation in Egypt.
3 Although I don’t really like Ryan, I went on a date with him.
4 The door to my apartment was open, so I called the police.
5 Although Mark has a lot of money, he’s really cheap.
6 Mandy canceled her credit cards because she couldn’t find her wallet.
7 We wanted to get some pizza after the movies, but all the restaurants were closed.

(4) Read Stephanie’s profile and the profile of the men that sent her a message on a
dating app and based on them choose who she could go on a date to meet. Write a
paragraph with the reasons on why you chose that person. [_____/10 points].
Guidelines: In this activity you must write a paragraph with 60-100 words. It must be
clear and coherent to the profiles below. Pay attention also on spelling, punctuation and
sentence order.

”Hi, My name is Stephanie. I’m 27 years old and I work

as an English teacher. Guys that are romantic and kind
get my attention. My friends say I’m generous and
patient.
I love going out to eat something different with my
friends, but if nobody can go out with me it’s not a
problem because I can order some pizza and have the
great company of my best furry friend ‘Carrot’, my cute
cat.
Something I don’t like to do? Go hiking. For sure.
Walking for hours is not something that interests me.”

I think that Carl is the best choice for a date. He’s a teacher like her and, for that, they can have
common interests. The age difference between them is very small, it isn’t a problem. Carl love
cooking and he can recurrently make romantic dinners for Stephanie. She likes going out to eat
something different. With him, she can eat different foods inside of home, with her cat company.
They can make a nice couple of teachers.
