POSTCARDS (Present Perfect)
1.- Read the two postcards in pairs, and find an example of change in each.
POSTCARD 1
Dear Thanassis,
I am having a great time here with my brother in the west of England. I think it is the most interesting place I have ever visited. As you know, Stephanos is at university here and so I am staying with him. He has been here for three years and he says the town is not the same since he first arrived here and things have changed. He says that when he first came here it was difficult to get around but over the years that has changed and now they have started new bus routes. As for my news, so far, I have been to the local museum and have learned a lot of things about natural history and wild animals. The paintings in the different rooms were wonderful too. And it didn't cost anything either! After walking around all the galleries, I had a soft drink and a snack. That was good too. I haven't bought any souvenirs yet, but perhaps I will get some tomorrow. Anyway, that's about all for now.
All the best,
Paris
POSTCARD 2
Dear Maria,
I have just been to an amazing exhibition in the Tower of London. The curators of the museum have built a new room only for this exhibition. In fact, I have never seen anything like it before. It is full of all kinds of objects and statues. This is the first time these objects have been outside Russia until now. The exhibition includes priceless objects used in military processions. One of these is the Tzar's Jerico Cap (helmet), which is richly decorated with gold, silver and precious stones. It is exactly as it was when the Tsar wore it and nothing has changed. Admission is included in the price of a ticket to the Tower of London, so it's a good deal. Because I didn't want to queue up for ages, I bought the ticket in advance from the Underground tube station. I saved myself í1.50 by doing this. Anyway, I must go. Speak to you soon!
