then, I 6) have heard (hear) a lot of negative things about living in the capital, and lately some of them

7) have begun (begin) to bother me. I 8) grew up (grow up) in a fairly small town and I

more people 14) have stopped (stop) working in London recently , and a lot of large companies

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.
