Activity 4- Present perfect vs Continuous

1. Fill in the blanks with for or since:

Hello Henry!
How are you? Have you finished classes yet? Well, I haven´t Classes will be over in a
month so I’ve been working on my final projects for the last few days! I´m exhausted! I
wanted to use the weekend to watch that show you told me about but I´ve been so busy
that I haven´t watched anything on TV since the last time we met, and that was like three
weeks ago! L I can´t blame my teachers, though. They told me about two projects since
the beginning of the month, but well, you know me. I´ve been leaving things for the last
minute since we were in high school. I hope I learn to organize myself better next term.

Well, I guess I´ll go and continue working. I´ve been procrastinating for the last 2 hours,
and if I continue like this, I won´t finish.

Hope to see you soon!

Anne.

Hello Anne!
I'm very good thank you! My classes have not finished yet, they will finish in two months, I
have been working on my homework and final works for two weeks, the truth is I am
totally exhausted.
When you finish your work you should watch the program, so focus on your projects and
forget about the tv, you are right three weeks ago that we saw each other and it seems
that it was a long time ago that I miss you, you are right the teachers are not to blame We
must start our jobs from the moment they are commissioned, but calmly, you will finish
soon.
There are many tips to organize ourselves better, you should investigate.
I hope you finish your projects soon and meet again.
I hope to see you soon!.
