[Present perfect for experiences. I get a fair amount of mileage out of this by first asking the students to predict what I have done this year, and after getting them to predict several mundane things, read through this handout with them.]
What have I done this year?
Well, it has been a very busy year
for me. To begin with, I have travelled
to just about every country in the world.
I have been to Afghanistan, Albania, Algeria, Andorra, Angola, and many
more.
Also, I have finally learned how to
drive this year. I got my driver's
license in February.
I have hunted some of the most
dangerous animals in the world. I have
fought tigers in India, I have wrestled lions in Africa, and I have boxed
kangaroos in Australia.
I have written 12 bestselling
books. I wrote one book every
month.
I have starred in 5 famous Hollywood
movies.
I have danced with some of the most
beautiful women in the world. They all
said I was a very good dancer.
I have eaten some of the most exotic
food the world has to offer, from alligator steaks to tiger tail soup.
I have talked to the leaders of many
countries. They all asked my advice.
I have explored the deepest parts of
the ocean.
I have solved some of the world's
most famous mysteries.
And I have enjoyed relaxing on the
beach every night.
