TEENS 6 NAME:

COACHING CLASS 4 __________________

Tenses: Put the verbs in brackets in the correct tense.

The most amazing show I ......................................... (ever see) was when a friend suggested
......................................... (go) to see and hear Dr. Bruno Vremosky, one of the most famous
memory experts in the world. I ............................................ (always have) a hopeless
memory – I could never remember people’s names and I kept mixing people up. They didn’t like
it much. I was likely ................................................ (feel) embarrassed and I was beginning
to hate ................................................ (go) to parties, I would
rather .......................................... (stay) home away from the embarrassment. At work, I got
clients’ names wrong and that wasn’t good for business. My friend, Bob, had told me all about
mind control and how he ................................................ (increase) his memory potential in
just a few days. So I had to see the great master of memory myself.
As I ........................................... (go) into the conference hall, I saw Vremosky in action; he
said hello to a dozen people and not only remembered ......................................... (meet)
them before by mentioning their names, but also their job and details about their work and
family. Then, after a few words, Vremosky asked the people in the
audience .............................................. (call) out a word. He heard about thirty words at
random. Then he recited all thirty words in the reverse order, pointing to the person who had
said the word. Definitely, if I ................................................ (not meet) Dr. Vremosky, my
memory ........................................ (never improve) as it did.
