* 1. If it rains this weekend, we won't be able to go to the country. 2. Give me Ann’s letter. If I see her, I'll give it to her. 3. I have to work hard, so I’m very busy. But if I had any free time, I would go in for swimming. 4. If I was taller, I could play basketball. But I’m too short. 5. Please stop talking! If you don't start your meal now; it will go cold. 6. If you have any problems, let me know and I will help you. 7. You’re a wonderful cook! If I could cook as well as you, I would open a restaurant. 8. We must hurry! If he is late, we shall leave without him. 9. He will have a day off tomorrow if he works hard today? 10. That coat looks awful! I wouldn't buy it if I were you. 11. I think there are too many cars. If there were not so many cars, there wouldn't be so much pollution. 12. It’s a pity I’m not rich. If I was rich, I would have a yacht. 13. I’m going out now. If anybody phones while I am out, can you take a message? 14. This soup isn’t very good. It would taste better if it wasn't so salty. 15. ‘What shall we do tomorrow?’ ‘Well, if it is a nice day, we won't stay at home.’ 16. Liz is tired all the time. If she didn't go to bed so late, she wouldn't be tired. 17. You were rude to Mike. If I were you, I would apologize. 18. We’re lost. If we had the map with us, we would have known where we are. 19. If I still feel sick, I will not go on holiday next weekend. 20. I don’t get any help at work. My job would be easier if I had a secretary.
I really admire Linda McCartney. She was born in New York, and she became a photographer. She took photographs of rock stars. In 1967 she met Paul McCartney. At first, a lot of the Beatles’ fans didn’t like Linda but Paul and Linda weren’t worried. They get married in 1969. Linda learned to play the keyboard and she and Paul formed a band called “Wings”. Linda was vegetarian and she did a lot of work for animal charities. Linda was interested in cooking and she wrote a lot of books about food.
