While Knight and Nike get rich on the back of Third World labour, our economy struggles to generate income that can afford $ 100 Nike shoes. The 80s are over; its time for Nike to give something back to this country and for publications like yours to stop glorifying companies that generate profits at the expense of low-paid foreign workers, while ignoring the stability of the country that supports them. 1b.1 Write out the sentences, using the most logical form of the verbs in brackets: As he (turn) the handle of the door, his eyes (fall) upon the portrait Basil (paint) of him.

Ea putea sa spuna orice, el va ramane statornic si o va pastra in inima. Luchi deschise poarta si o lua inainte, fara sa-l invite, dar fara sa-si ia la revedere.
