Homework: Past form of SHOULD (due by Wed., October 7)

Write what you think the people in the following situations SHOULD HAVE DONE or SHOULD NOT HAVE DONE (ch. 9, ex. 17):

1. John and his wife, Julie, had good jobs as professionals in New York City. John was offered a high-paying job in Chicago, which he immediately accepted. Julie was shocked when he came home that evening and told her the news. She liked her job and the people she worked with, and did not want to move away and look for another job.

2. Ann agreed to meet her friend Carl at the library to help him with his chemistry homework. On the way, she stopped at a cafe where her boyfriend worked. Her boyfriend told her he could get off work early that night, so the two of them decided to go to a movie. Ann didn't cancel her plans with Carl. Carl waited for three hours at the library.

3. For three years, Donna had been saving her money for a trip to Europe. Her brother, Larry, had a good job, but spent all of his money on expensive cars, clothes, and entertainment. Suddenly, Larry was fired from his job and had no money to support himself while he looked for another one. Donna lent him nearly all of her savings, and within three weeks he spent it all on his car, more clothes, and expensive restaurants.

4. Sarah often exaggerated and once told a co-worker that she was fluent in French, even though she had studied only a little and could not really communicate in the language. A few days later, her boss asked her to come to his office to interpret a meeting with a French businessman who had just arrived from Paris to negotiate a major contract with the company. After an embarrassed silence, Sarah told her boss that she was feeling ill and had to go home immediately.

  7. 1-I think the decision of choosing the future work is a personal decision, however John should have asked his wife to discuss the matter , whether this decision is right or not .
    It might be an attractive offer but also may be incompatible with the new environment and people
    Bothe couple should have reviewed their expenses to deiced if they have to move on this situation .
    On the other hand, if the Julia was received the same offer she probably would discuss this with john first.


    2-Ann , Should have canceled her meeting with her boyfriend , since she agreed to see Carl at the beginning . Or she Should have canceled at least one of the two meeting and apologize for the other one on early time.


    3- Donna shouldn’t have given him all saving money , she probably should support her brother with a mount of money until he get a job . But if she have awareness of his behavior she shouldn’t have given him money .

    4- Sarah should not have to pretend about her ability in French Language , but her boss also should have acted as professional man who must bring official translator to official meeting , instead of relying on regular employee .

  8. 1) I think John shouldn't have accepted the job immediately. He should have called Julie first, he should have told her the new before he accepts the offering.

    2) In my opinion, Ann should have called Carl canceling their appointment.
    She was not fare with her friend, She should have talked to her boyfriend and explained the situation that she had already made an appointment with a friend that needed her help.

    3) Donna was very naive, she shouldn't have lent her money to her brother. And the other hand, Larry should have been ashamed for his behaviour.

    4) Sarah shouldn't have exaggerated this way, she shouldn't have told such lie to her co worker or She should have told to her co worker that It was just a joke

    I think they should have discussed before John decided. but that happened so Julie should have listen to her husband's explanation to have the last choice for two of them.

    2.
    The time can not go back.
    Ann shouldn't have agreed to help Carl.
    Nether Ann should have dropped by her boy friend's cafe, nor they should have gone to movie.
    She should have apologized to Carl when she recognized that she miss her appointment with him.

    3.Donna shouldn't have lent her brother all of her savings.
    Her brother should have known that is money for his sister's trip and he shouldn't have wasted money.

    4.
    Sarah shouldn't have exaggerated the trust about her study in French. Before the time she met a French Businessman, she should have told her boss all about her.

    - John shouldn't have accepted the offer job immediately.He had to respect his wife by asking her before he made the decision.
    -May be, they will be happy in Chicago, but Julie has to be comfortable with this decision.
    -Therefore, they should have discussed about this news, Julie did not shock about it.

    2.
    - In my opinion, I think Ann should have kept her words with Carl because she agreed to help him.
    -She should have explained to her boyfriend, and he should have understand Ann.
    -However, she really wanted to go with her boyfriend, she should have called to Carl to cancel their meeting.
    -One more thing, Carl shouldn't have waited 3 hours in library without calling Ann.
    3.
    -Donna's brother shouldn't have spent the money all on his car, more clothes, and expensive restaurants.
    -Donna shouldn't have lent money to him because he didn't have responsibility with her saving money.
    4.
    Sarah should have told the truth to her co-worker.
    She should have learned French fluently if she love it.
    If Sarah's boss is a good director or manager, he/she should not have done a big mistake like this one.
    The boss should have prepare for the meeting carefully by hiding a translator or he/she should have asked someone to test Sarah speaking before the meeting.

  15. 1. John should have thought carefully because New york and Chicago have a big distance from one to another.
    And he also should have talked to his wife before decide to choose about this offer!

    But now it's too late!!!

    2. Carl should have given up waiting her coming for three hours because she has had a boyfriend.

    Also Carl should have called and asked:"What's going on? Where are you?", that''s why we have cellphones nowaday!
    About Ann, she should have remembered about the meeting with Carl!

    I think that Carl is unlucky and not really clever guy.

    3. Donna should not have lent him a lot of money, just a little bit for food and living fee!

    Larry should have found a new job and continued to spend money on his expensive stuff by his money!

    4. Sharah should not have gone to work that day, and she should have learned more French!

    So she should have expressed people about her real ability in french!
