This is a letter from Joanna, who is staying with a family in New York, to her parents in England. Put the verb in brackets in the correct tense

Dear Mum and Dad

I can’t believe I (be) in New York for three months now. Time (pass) far too quickly. So much has happened since I last (write) to you that I (not know) where to begin.
I (start) by telling you of my little adventure. Last Saturday I (go) shopping in the local shopping mall. I (look) for some new jeans for the party I was going to that evening when suddenly I (realise) that my purse (steal). The police (call) immediately, but I couldn’t answer their questions because I (cry) so much. I (look) in my bag for a tissue when - guess what?- I FOUND (find) my purse! It HAD GOT (get) hidden underneath all the other stuff. I (feel) such a fool!
Anyway, the party that evening wasn’t much good, which was a shame as I (look) forward to it all week. When I (arrive), all the food (eat). The friends I hoped to meet (go) home already. After half an hour we (tell) we were making too much noise, so we (have to) turn off the music. I decided to leave at about 11.00. I (give) a lift home by a guy called Peter, who you’d really like. When I got home, I (starve)!
Mrs Goldstein (say) for weeks that she wants to take me to the Statue of Liberty, so tomorrow we (see) it. They are a very kind family, and I (feel) at home here. They (teach) me to speak with an American accent, so when I speak to you on the phone you (not recognise) me!
The course I AM DOING (do) in psychology is interesting. The college (situate) on the edge of Central Park, so I often (have) my lunch there as the canteen in the college (decorate) at the moment. My teachers are great. One of them (write) a book which (translate) into five languages! I HAVE NOT READ (not read) it yet, but it’s on my list. She (study) how children learn their first language for years and years, and I (think) she is quite well-known.
Dad, please, could you send me some money? I only (have) $10 to last me till I (pay) next week. I (save) up for my return fare home, so you can’t be cross with me!
Please write soon with all the news from England. Give my love to the dog.
Lots of love
Joanna
