TEXTO PARA A PRÓXIMA QUESTÃO:
Helping at a hospital
Every year many young people finish school and then take a year off before they start work or go to college. 1Some of them go to other countries and work as volunteers. Volunteers give their time to help people. For example, they work in schools or hospitals, or they help with conservation.
Mike Coleman is 19 and __________ in Omaha, Nebraska, in the United States. He wants to become a teacher, but now he __________ in Namibia. He’s working in a hospital near Katima Mulilo. He says, “I’m working with the doctors and nurses here to help sick people. For example, I help carry people who can’t walk. Sometimes I go to villages in the mobile hospital, too. There aren’t many doctors here so they need help from people like me. I don’t get any money, but that’s OK, I’m not here for the money.”
“I’m staying here for two months, and I’m living in a small house with five others volunteers. The work is hard and the days are long, but I’m enjoying my life here. I’m learning a lot about life in Southern Africa and about myself! 2When I finish the two months’ work, I want to travel in and around Namibia for three weeks. For example, I want to see the animals in the Okavango Delta in Botswana.”

Which verb forms respectively complete the gaps in the text?
is living / leaves
lives / is living
is living / lives
leaves / is living
leaves / is leaving
Gabarito:
lives / is living
[B]
A alternativa [B] está correta, pois a primeira lacuna deve ser completada pelo Simple Present do verbo to live (viver) por se tratar de um fato. A segunda lacuna, por sua vez, deve ser completada pelo Present Continuous do mesmo verbo, uma vez que se trata de uma quebra de rotina (o fato de estar morando momentaneamente na Namíbia).
