Hello everybody! I' m thinking about studying english language at the University of Zagreb (Croatia). I found this test on the Net and began to solve it. I have a couple of years before my decision so I didn't prepare for it. I didn't look at the dictionary or anywhere else, I just solved what I knew at the moment. So, here iti is.
Could someone please correct my mistakes and fill the gaps? I'd be very thankful. And please, correct my writing (not only the test).This is only one part of the test.
I'm sorry in advance if this kind of stuff shouldn't be put on this forum, and if so, please give me a link where I could post such questions.
I Read the following text carefully and then write the missing words in the blank spaces. Each blank space should be filled by ONE word only.
