COMPLETA IL DIALOGO CON IL TEMPO ADATTO DEI VERBI TRA PARENTESI
I’m thinking of selling some of my things. I need some money.
Really? What are you going to sell?
Oh-some of my clothes and DVD’s. As many as I can!
That reminds me of that guy in Australia a few years ago who sold (sell) everything he had on eBay.
Why did he do (he/do) that?

What did he sell (he/sell)?
Everything. His house, everything inside it, his car and his motorbike. I think he also included (include) a trial at his job as a sales assistant and even an introduction to his friends.
And did people buy (people/buy) things?
Yes, they did (do). Apparently there were (be) several hundred offers.
And how much money did he get (he/get)?

How old was he (he/be)?
I think he was (be) in his early 40s at the time.
Well, I don’t need to sell evrything, luckily!

COMPLETA IL BRANO CON UNA PAROLA IN OGNI SPAZIO
If you ask people to name a famous female pilot, many will say”Amelia Earhart”. Earhart was the first woman to fly across the Atlantic Ocean and the first person to fly across both the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. But another female pilot is much less well known. This is Geraldine Mock – the first womam to fly solo around the world. Mock made her historic flight on 1964, and she was 38. She flew from west to east, over huge oceans and deserts. She did not have the Global Positioning System (GPS), of course, so she had to have excellent skills in navigation. Thirty days after her departure from Ohio, she returned to find herself famous. There were crowds of people at the airport waiting for her and they gave her a great welcome. Later, she set more aviation records, and she wrote a book about her achievements. Mock showed women that they could do things apart from raising a family. She was the mother of three children, but she also had a natural talent for flying and a longing for adventure. At a time when there were not many female aviators, Mock had the courage not only to learn to fly, but to set world records.
