  FISHING fishing.jpg
  Bob and Fred (be) friends they were children. When they (finish) school, Bob (go) to university and Fred (begin) to work in a supermarket. They lived in different towns but they always (meet) in summer.
  Now they live in Bristol. They there for 5 years and they usually meet at the weekend. Bob likes fishing a lot, but Fred (go/never) fishing in his life, this is his first time. They are speaking about it now:
Fred: Bob, this is very boring. How long (we/be) here?
Bob: Let me see. It’s 6.00 and we (arrive)at 3.00.
Fred So, we (be) here for three hours and I (not fish) anything yet. I’m hungry. We (not eat) anything for the last five hours.
Bob: Oh, Fred. Don’t worry. This place is very quiet. Listen to the birds and wait. We’ll get some fish soon. Look! It is your fishing rod! I think you (catch) a fish.
Fred Yes. It’s the first I (fish/ever)! Oh, no! It’s an old shoe!
  Half an hour later.
Fred Bob, I’d prefer to go to the pub and eat something. Why don’t we phone Andrew? He (come) back from Germany three days ago and he (not phone) us yet. We could meet him at the pub and spend a good evening.
Bob: O.K. That’s a good idea.
