Review
1 Rewrite the underlined expressions using the words in the box in the correct form.
My sister and I 1 started a dry cleaning a business a year ago. So far it’s doing quite well. She 2 manages it from day to
day, while I travel, make contacts and try to 3 increase the business. Times are tough but I try not to worry about 4 not
being successful or 5 being unable to pay our debts. I mean, people need clean clothes and bedding and stuff, so I think
we should be OK.
My mother was sure that one of our employees was stealing from the company. She wanted to 6 get rid of
the guy but she had no proof. This went on until my mother retired and I 7 became head of the company.
I talked to the man and he got angry at first but eventually he 8 left of his own choice. There were no
more thefts after that.
