Ex. 7 Fill in the words below in the sentences. Use the correct form of the verb.
If our physics teacher asks us to put our thinking caps on , she presents us with a problem and we are divided in groups to put our heads together so we can come up with a solution. Now that’s not really my kind of thing. In fact, I would rather skip physics class and go shopping with friends instead. My best friend Shayna always plays hooky when we have physics class. In fact, there isn’t a single subject at school that she’s really interested in. She’s thinking about dropping out of school. She says she will attend the university of life and make a fortune in real estate. I don’t know how she’s going to achieve that. I still think school is useful and I want to graduate , so I can go to a real university!
