I'm glad to step into the role of your school teacher! Let's analyze the text and solve the exercise together.
First, let's identify the missing verbs that need to be completed using the correct future form. Here are the verbs that we need to focus on:
1. He ?_'ll be able to (can) help me.
2. Did I tell you that I ?_(go) on holiday to the Amazon in the summer?
3. There ?_(be) snakes everywhere, I'm sure!
4. The treatment ?_(start) on Friday.
5. It ?_(be) really difficult.
6. In the first session we ?_(go) to the zoo to look at snakes.
7. Then the week after, the doctor ?_(take) a snake out of its tank.
8. We ?_(take) it in turns to hold it.
9. I think I ?_(wear) gloves that day.
Now, let's work through each verb individually:
1. He ?_'ll be able to (can) help me.
Here, we need to use the future form of "will" followed by the base form of the verb "be." The correct answer is "will be."
2. Did I tell you that I ?_(go) on holiday to the Amazon in the summer?
This is a question about a past event, so we use the past form of "do" - "did" - and then the base form of the verb "go." The correct answer is "did go."
3. There ?_(be) snakes everywhere, I'm sure!
We need to use the future form of the verb "be." The correct answer is "will be."
4. The treatment ?_(start) on Friday.
Here, we just need to use the base form of the verb "start" as it talks about a future event. The correct answer is "will start."
5. It ?_(be) really difficult.
Similar to the previous verb, we just need to use the base form of the verb "be" since it talks about a future event. The correct answer is "will be."
6. In the first session we ?_(go) to the zoo to look at snakes.
Again, we need to use the base form of the verb "go" to talk about a future event. The correct answer is "will go."
7. Then the week after, the doctor ?_(take) a snake out of its tank.
In this case, we need to use the base form of the verb "take" as it talks about a future event. The correct answer is "will take."
8. We ?_(take) it in turns to hold it.
We need to use the base form of the verb "take" as it talks about a future event. The correct answer is "will take."
9. I think I ?_(wear) gloves that day.
Here, we need to use the base form of the verb "wear" as it talks about a future event. The correct answer is "will wear."
So, the completed text should look like this:
"I've just finished talking to the doctor about snake phobia. He says he will be able to help me. Did I tell you that I did go on holiday to the Amazon in the summer? I really need help! There will be snakes everywhere, I'm sure! The treatment will start on Friday and it will be really difficult. In the first session we will go to the zoo to look at snakes. Ugh! Then the week after, the doctor will take a snake out of its tank and we will take it in turns to hold it. I think I will wear gloves that day!"
