2.  Read the passage and finish the exercises.

 (used/ am used) to go surfing every morning. That's how I lost my leg to a shark. I  (used/ am used) to enter competitions. I won quite a few trophies. Now I have to watch from the beach. It was hard at first but  (I'm used/ I used) to it now.

At first it was really very strange and unusual having only one leg. I spent about six months getting used to  (go/ going) everywhere in a wheelchair and then the doctor told me to be ready for an artificial leg. He fitted it a year ago and, at first, I found it really hard to use but  (I completely used/ I' m completely used) to walking on it now. It's so comfortable that I sometimes forget it's not my real leg.

I used to  (have/ having) a really active life. Apart from surfing I  (am used 1 used) to go mountain biking and hiking At first I thought I'd lose all that, but it's amazing how much you can still do. Of course, I'm not as quick as I used to  (being / be) but I can still have fun.

I haven't got used to  (go/ going) back into the sea yet. It's difficult to get the memory of that shark attack out of my head.

A. Circle the correct words.
B. Answer the questions.

Why was it hard for the writer to watch others go surfing at first?

What can the writer still do to have fun now?

3.  Read the conversation and finish the exercises.

Amy: Hi, Gary. I haven't seen you in ages. It must be five years. Gosh, you . seem to be different.

Gary: That's true. I'm a lot healthier now. I used to have some bad habits.

Amy: Such as …

Gary: Well, for one thing, I was a couch potato. You know, one of those overweight people who sit on a sofa and eat junk food while they watch TV. That was me! I used to watch TV for six or seven hours some days. Now, I never watch TV for more than two hours. Some days I don't even turn it on.

Amy: You look much slimmer, too. Is that just a matter of giving up junk food?

Gary: Five years ago, I never used to exercise. In fact, I hated exercise! I didn't use to watch exercise programs on TV then. Now, I exercise every morning, but I don't watch those programs very often. I usually do my own routine. I love to exercise now because it makes me feel terrific.

Amy: Didn't you use to smoke?

Gary: True. I used to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day. Then three years ago I quit smoking completely. I only miss smoking when I'm nervous. So now I chew gum at those times.

Amy: Let's get back to diet. Did you do anything else to lose weight?

Gary: Oh, yeah. I used to eat lots of meat, but I don't any more. I always like fruit and vegetables so I'm mostly a vegetarian now. I still eat fish once in a while, but not meat. So, by changing my diet and getting daily exercise, I'm in much better shape than the last time you saw me.

Amy: You're a real inspiration. You make me want to change my life, too.
