Montse and Cristina,

I can't listen to my own questions on the iPad so I'll do the corrections when I get internet at home.

Montse and Cristina,

You managed to get all the questions between the two of you.

Montse: you got numbers 4 and 7 wrong (but both are grammatically correct)

Cristna: numbers 6 and 10 are wrong (and grammatically too)


As for the answers:

Montse:

2. I HAVE ONLY GOT two sisters.

6. I DID LAST WEEK.

Cristina:

1. I WORK as AN assitant manager FOR AN outdoor furniture company.
("I'M WORKING" suggests you are there temporarily)

2. HAVE you got a big family?
No, I HAVEN'T. I just have one YOUNGER SISTER.

6. I didn´t LIKE IT so much. (This is a mistake you make at times in class)

8. But in this case, IT is a little bit boring.

9. I WOULD LOVE to go to Indonesia and be lost for 2 weeks!

10. I HAVE BEEN WORKING in my job for one year.
(You should do some work on PRESENT PERFECT - check under Grammar and Labels)

Well done to both! Sorry for the delay - you can blame Telefonica :D
