Int Plus - mistakes

Here are some mistakes that I have heard in class:
  1. How long have you been working like teacher?
  2. A: I have gone to New York. B: Did you like it?
  3. Where were you the last Friday?
  4. I born in Zaragoza in 1980.
  5. I am going to Segovia next weekend but it depends if I have to work or not.
  6. We went on a travel to Barcelona in March.
  7. A: Do you like London? B: I like so much.
  8. Life there isn't as stressed as in Madrid.
  9. She has the same name that her mother.
  10. I like very much my name now but I didn't as a child.
Find the mistakes and correct them.

If only more students followed the example of Natalia and Marta.

Don't take too long in starting, Begoña. You don't have to do so much all at once - it's better a little, regularly.
