I. Listen"and"fill in the gaps. 

    My son worked all summer to buy a dirty used motorcycle. Then, it took him hours"and"hours to clean it. I was really happy to buy him a nice helmet"and"riding clothes. I could hardly wait for him to open his gift the next morning. To my surprise, when I got up to prepare breakfast, I saw a beautiful violin. It was a gift from my son. 

    I once asked my husband to buy me a violin, but he didn’t agree to buy one. I couldn’t imagine how my son could afford this expensive gift. Later I realised that he must have sold the motorcycle to get me the violin.
