Complete the following passage using the correct form of the verb given within each bracket.

Ms. Jane Rita works in a language school in Sri Lanka as a senior teacher. First, I asked her whether she (enjoy) teaching English. “Yes, I do” she replied. “How long have you been teaching here?”, I asked. “Since I (return) from Maldives, three years ago”, she continued. Then talking about her future plans, she said, “Well, I’m interested in teaching young children and I (start) a special English Language Course next month.” Then I asked her, “Are you going to stay in Sri Lanka for a few more years?” “I (think) I should. Of course, if someone (offer) me a well-paid job in another country I will accept it, but that is not very likely”, she replied.

“Yes?” asked the young woman, wondering what this old woman wanted.
‘Is there someone in your family, maybe your mother, called Jennifer?’
“Yes’, said the young woman. ‘My mother’s name is Jennifer. Why? How did you know that?’
‘Because you look exactly like the lady who taught me English when I was living in Boston in 1950.” replied the old woman.
“That’s strange,’ said the young woman. ‘I come from Boston. But no one in my family is a teacher.’
‘Are you sure?” asked the stranger. ‘Pretty sure,’ she said, but feeling doubtful.
That night back at the hotel, the young woman phoned her parents’ home in Boston and she told her mother what had happened that day. Her mother told her that for about five years in the 1950s she had volunteered to help foreign students to learn English. Many of them had come to America from Italy.
