II FILL IN THE SPACES WITH THE CORRECT FORM OF THE VERBS IN BRACKETS:

At present most students ____________________ (make) a big effort to get good marks at school but sometimes they _________________ (not get) them because they only _________________(study) for the tests.

A few years ago things __________________(be) different. Students _________________(have) good marks and they ________________(not study) only for the tests. They ________________(do) their homework and _________________(learn) more.

Back then if you tried a bit harder, it _____________________(be) easy to have good results.

But today if you _________________(not study), it will not be easy to get good marks.

If children do their homework, they _________________(have) better results at school.

If parents ________________(pay) a little more attention to their children`s homework, their results would also be better.
