I 8) grew up (grow up) in a fairly small town and I 9) have spent (spend) all my life there. I 10) have always wanted (always want) to live in a big city and so when my company 11) offered (offer) me a job in their London office, I 12) grabbed (grab) at the chance. But according to a programme I 13) have just heard (just hear) on the radio, more and more people 14) have stopped (stop) working in London recently , and a lot of large companies 15) have chosen (choose) to move away from the centre. Of course I 16) have told (tell) my parents that I’m moving and they 17) have accepted (accept) my decision, but when 18) told (tell) my friends they 19) seemed (seem) rather shocked. Since then I 20) have been hoping (hope) secretly that the company would tell me that the move was off.
