2 Reflexive pronouns The biography of Quok Shee has been done by an immigrant who still has some problems with English.
Help him pick the right pronouns!
Her name is Quok Shee and she comes from China. She was kept in Angel Island for two years. She kept
telling herself/himself/themselves that she would soon be released. She never enjoyed herself/himself/
her on Angel Island. Some immigrants were so depressed that they/themselves/themself even tried to kill
themselves/himselves/himself. Quok Shee knew a man who blamed himself/herself/himselves for what
had happened to himself/him/herself; he started to go insane and kept hurting himself/him/herself and
herself/others/themselves. To remain sane, immigrants often kept them/him/themselves busy by writing
poetry. Quok Shee might have expressed herselves/her/herself through poetry, but the poems were rarely
signed, so there is no way of knowing if she did!
3 I wish! Help this journalist build sentences using words that have been translated from Chinese. Each sentence
starts with “I wish”. Use the pluperfect.

me shopping for my 15th birthday :) Can’t believe I’m no longer fourteen! Tommy organised a party for
