Упражнение 1. Put the verbs in brackets into the correct form (Conditional 3).
Dear Магу,
I’m writing to you feeling completely frustrated. As you know, I have to give a
reception every year to entertain my husband’s business associates, so I have to go
to a lot of trouble. Well, disaster struck again! In my attempt to appear an original
hostess, I ordered some Chinese and Thai food to be served with chopsticks.
Needless to say, my guests disapproved. I also booked a Latin band to come and
play live, but our middle-aged guests found it hard to dance so energetically. My
husband has no sympathy for me and is mad at my choice of entertainment. I must
confess I want to get out of organising such social gatherings. It’s a pity you
weren’t here; you missed out on a unique opportunity to see my husband dancing.
