Ever since the day I 1)decided(decide) to
move to London,
I 2) have been worrying (worry) whether the decision I 3) took(take)was the right one. As I 4) have already sold (already sell) my house and 5) have arranged
(arrange)a
new job, it is too late to change my mind. However, since then, I 6)have heard(hear)
a lot of negative things about living in the capital, and lately some of them 7)have begun(begin) to bother me. I 8) grew up(grow up) in a fairly small town and I 9) have spent(spend) all my life there. I 10) have
always wanted (always want) to live in a big city and so when my company 11)
offered(offer) me a job in their London office, I 12) grabbed(grab) at the chance. But according to a programme I 13) have just heard(just hear) on the radio, more
and more people 14) have stopped(stop) working in London recently , and a
lot of large companies 15)have chosen(choose) to move away from
the centre. Of course I 16) have told(tell) my parents that I’m moving and they 17) have
accepted (accept) my decision, but when 18)told(tell) my friends they 19) seemed(seem) rather shocked.
Since then I 20) have been hoping (hope)
secretly that the company would tell me that the move was off.
