Although I (understand, not)have not understood much yet, I believe that I (improve, gradually) will improve gradually . I (travel, currently)am currently travelling with Liam, a student from Leeds University in England. He (be)is a nice guy, but impatient.

They (discuss)are discussing the differences between life in England and life in Nepal. I (know, not)don’t know the real name of the owner, but everybody just calls(call, just) him Tam.
